      More arse........we now have people who issue instruction who don't know how to dress themselves.

      Its not a mistake now J1 has circled wagons and strongly defending his position.
      needs a lesson in military heraldry..fcuking clown....

      IMHO it's not a prob with the SD's/greatcoat RE the left shoulder.
      Might not be a problem, but that dosen't make it right....

        Is this part of the fallout from the Easter rehearsal? I read the AAR and it seems they are trying to clamp down on the NS fashion for beards too.

          Correct me if I'm wrong on this one, as I am green, not blue, but I though the regs only permitted the wearing of beards by Naval personnel when serving afloat. I think it's a legacy tradition from the times when it was considered wasteful of valuable water to be shaving when at sea?

                they could float up the Liffey. Park up at Libery Hall.

                It would be a little bit of irony to have Samuel Beckett on the river a hundred years after Helga.

                An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others. This power can not be used carelessly or recklessly. This power can do great harm. We have seen more suffering than any man should ever see, and if there is going to be an end to it, it must be an end that justifies the cost. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

                  Beards were only 'legalized' when the Peacocks came into service...every where you turn someone has one now..even some of the women, almost like a fashion accessory...and I would reckon I could even name the individual who started it all.

                    Just to clear something for people who have left the navy along time and whose service was also very short.

                    any sailor currently serving with a beard has one because they are medically excused shaving by the medical officer.

                    it is an extremely rare thing for a ships commanding officer to grant none shaving to grow a beard but from time to time movember etc is permitted to raise charitable funds etc.

                    draw what ever you want from the current amount of medically excused people and the trend at this point in time.

                    and leave out the sh1t about the women as well, there were none during your 3 years of service and most current women have more sea time on the launch than you had in the navy.

                          No ranges for anyone due to lack of audiograms, hence no courses until the situation is un****ed.

                                Ouch.
                                There must be some sort of dermatological epidemic so. Movember facial hair should be gone by December 1st. It is now January, almost February, yet judging by the photos from the Civic Reception in Cork earlier this week, the majority of the NS now sport well trimmed, well groomed, even manscaped facial hair. And none of these are Peacock crew.
                                Play the ball, not the man.
                                For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.
