The '07 unit phot for SRR was full of guys in relatively smart rig and yet a motley assortment of scraggy beards.

I've read that in some areas, the locals shave as a reaction against the Taliban's insistence on beards. Seems to be turning into something of a myth...
For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity's affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss--a lengthy, ravenous kiss, Ricardo lapping and sucking at Felicity's mouth as if she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world's thirstiest gerbil.

"Permission to grow a beard, sir, in order to convince the locals I'm pukka? (he was in a position that involved much mixing with Afghan civvies).
COS:
"The only people here with beards are the Special Forces, and the blokes who empty the shithouses. You are neither. Keep shaving."Charwaki (Pashtun): Government Official; Tax Gatherer; Policeman; Bandit

When we patrolled we didn't shave due to water issues (summer) nothing to do with buddying up with the locals and bezzering with chai doesn't really cut it. Resupply issues also meant that beards were being sported in PBs at various points. If water is availible you wash and shave. Beards off within hours of being in a loc with enough water.
I must admit that being shouted at by a camp rat in beautifuly ironed, pristine kit upon hopping out a wagon on the vehicle park did grate somewhat.SAVE ENERGY!!!!
Order doubles and stand close to the barkeeper.

I'm sure a certain Janner Pnr Sgt would beg to differ on this as he was wearing a full set in the 80s.

To finish what Harold Shipman started.
