    Yes, this.

    Lots of black guys get a skin infection/condition from military shaving regs and then get a medically sanctioned break from shaving. It’s a very real and commonplace thing.

    Yep. Agreed. But the shaving waiver does not allow them to creatively trim their beard. It is 1/8” long evenly on their beard, or they lose the waiver and shave it off. I’ve dealt with that before. My 1Sgt was pretty strict.

    The LT looked like he trimmed his goatee. Which is why it looked fishy to me.

    That was my impression as well, using a shaving profile to have whatever facial hair he wants.

    Which adds to my negative impression of him.

    Aside from the Early Commissioning Program program, failing to make height/weight or a PT failure can also delay the administrative 'automatic' promotion to 1LT. There's also a specific DA268 flag that a Commander can initiate called a 'T' flag which blocks automatic promotion to 1LT, typically based on a series of documented but modest failures that don't warrant an Article 15/NJP but also show that particular LT needs more time before becoming a 1LT.

    An Army shaving profile specifically forbids trimming/forming a specific type of beard or moustache. By current DA670-1 regs, you are supposed to use a thin guard on a trimmer such as a #1 and keep it trimmed equally to that length. MEDCOM tends to be relaxed but allowing a goatee in uniform is 100% against regs, profile or no.

    Do you guys know this fucking douchbag of a LT had a gun in his passenger seat? That is why he waited to release all this crap and the other stuff. He was being let go out of the Guard because of his failure to progress. Also he has not taken a record PT test since OCS and he barely passed. In fact it looks like to me it was just a few points over min passing. Now he is trying to get his promotion and might because of this BS. He is VaANG I am as well so we were briefed on this bullshit. I am deploying and retiring. This is the bullshit I have to put up with.

    Also he has a history of speeding at his unit and coming into work late. He has been told multiple times not to bring his dog to drill.

    Interesting.
    Sadly, he might end up being the Adjutant General of the VAANG, the way the politicos were fawning over him.
