@tchadbourne2@ParnellPete@Johnny_Joey The order to shave was in 1985. I was aboard ship when it happened. I had to do a lot of retirement physicals when it came down.
@ParnellPete@Johnny_Joey I was in the Navy before Pete Hegseth was born. I was aboard the USS Saratoga January 1984-87. We had beards aboard ship and no one was the least bit upset. This is a political move.
@Johnny_Joey Wrong. His referring to anyone with a beard as a ‘beardo’ and demanding they be discharged is wrong. I was in the Navy a year before Hegseth was even born. Cannot support this or War Secretary.
@SecWar@PeteHegseth You don’t know a thing about Navy tradition and customs, which is how former National Guard officers think. To call sailors ‘beardos’ is going too far. I in the Navy long before you were born. Grow up.
