Cool Re: Grow a beard : get some respect

Growing a beard is an unusual order for UK servicemen as they have been traditionally expected to be clean cut.
Not quite mani. Naval personnel, women excepted, have traditionally grown beards. Although before doing so they had to seek the permission of the captain of the ship or shore establishment.

I don’t know if it applies today but both the RAF and army could grow moustaches. And some did, splendid ones.
