Re: No More Beard!
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.

Re: No More Beard!
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? 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) |
