Marines with Skin Condition Affecting Mostly Black Men (Razor bumps) Could Now Be Booted Under New Policy

[42 Monks]

Isn't the military already having recruiting shortages?

not anymore lol... been a bump across the board since january

also the marines never really had recruiting issues. its been everyone else

 

[Gloxina]

I haven't looked into this, but this feels like a play to make service members more white overall. This makes it easier for them to commit atrocities against minorities when the time comes because it's homogeneous and no POC are there that could dissent

Uh…


DUH

If it isn’t clear that they will find any and every way to get Black folks out the paint…

What exaclty is the reason servicemen can't have beards anyway?

In the Navy, the excuse was partially our fire fighter gear. Can't get a good seal on the SCBA with a beard.

Other than that, order and discipline. Same reason hair can't be long.

POLICY EXISTED UNTIL 2022

BIDEN ERA POLICY REVERSED.

[DJSmooth]

Are even SUPER low fades with clippers not allowed? Does it truly have to be CLEAN SLICK SHAVEN?

otherwise my shyt would look like this with a razor

You not black. You have no clue what this is like.

1. White culture thinking looking like a teenager looks more professional
2. Uniformality
3. Easier to put on helmets, gas mask, other head gear.

meanwhile Marsoc Marines be having Viking level beards and bust tape with their creatine bulking

Hegseth doesn’t seem to understand that recruiters rarely make mission.

Dude is a Nasty Girl like this clown didn’t see tons of fat asses in his unit.

Do this to the Guard and reserve too see how those Reserve divisions become battalions.

shyt clear out the guys who actually never come to drill.

Yup

These dudes be having beards and claiming religion, while most black people get waivers because its a common and real thing

I personally never needed them, and the black men I did see with them still had regulations to follow. Trim and neat…

Meanwhile… like you said, there are cats walking around claiming their religion is some viking bullshyt and walking around pretending to be Specop guys. But they might not be touched…

Only thing is, I think I read that it could be up to the commands discretion, like a lot of these BS orders coming from this dumbass administration. As far as waivers go, most of the people knew this was a black people thing and didn’t care about issuing waivers to black people and still might not depending on the situations.. from what I remember anyway

I had a low dose of it can’t use a regular blade can use some selected blades. I’m trying to grow a beard now and it takes forever for it to fill in.

I remember in basic we were ordered to shave after coming out of the filed and some Black Soliders dry shaved and their faces were fukked up. The Drill ( who was Black) looked at one dudes face and said Yuck we were out in the field for like three days or so so I didn’t have to shave because at that time it took several days for me to get a five o clock shadow.

It's like three days out in the field without shaving that's the problem. As a USN vet, we didn't have that problem. As BM you have to shave every day to avoid this, but Army and Marines don't have that luxury.
Have you noticed when after a few days of not shaving that your face " itches "? That's your hair curling back into your skin. That's the culprit.
