Back in the dark ages (1970s) when the US Coast Guard still allowed beards and I was on an icebreaker they came through engineering with the same type of test. There were a few of us with full beards that actually got a better seal on the masks then some of the clean shaven guys. The Navy still made us all shave so we could go through fire-fighting school.

Hate to see you lose your beard though. You can always grown it back after retirement.

Funny this should come up... I missed this post yesterday. I was in the Bear Cave with Alex (A2VR6) tonight and we watched a piece on the CBC with Peter Masbridge where he spent some time on a research vessel in the High Arctic. The Captain of the Amundsen has a full beard as did many of the good men who worked on it. I actually asked Alex if he remembered you mentioning that you might have to shave.
Different rules for up there I guess? :confused:
Link to the sory (the piece starts in the 12th minute) http://www.cbc.ca/ondemand/news/thenational.asx (note the link will probably only be good until 10 pm on the 27th)

The worst part about this is it means you have to spend more time shaving. My inherent laziness is the only reason I keep my goatee.
