[Picture 1,](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v496/TentacleMonster/key70004.jpg) [2,](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v496/TentacleMonster/key70003.jpg) , and [Picture 3.](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v496/TentacleMonster/key70001.jpg) Why’d I do it? Because I can now (previously, AF regs prohibited shaving unless you were already going bald), and because I wanted to. Reactions so far: A couple of people liked it, more than a few said I look like a serial killer (so did Ted Bundy :rolleyes: ), and I got a couple of “White Power”'s (from black people I work with, they were joking). Well, I like it, and I’m keeping it this way. ---

Well, can we have a picture with hair so we can compare? 🙂 You don’t look any differently than most of the guys around Dallas, so you would fit in around here. It’s hot in Texas, so a lot of guys wear their hair short or shaved. The “white power” comment is rather interesting, I don’t relate a bald head with the KKK; and I grew up in the south. When did shaved heads and “white power” get associated together? I am now rather curious. Is it KKK or is it Nazi type generalization? ---

Having a shaved head is so convienient. I wish I could keep my head shaved, but I have an irregularly shaped noggin, so I look sort of stupid without hair. ---

I had no idea the AF prohibited unnatural baldness (and my dad was in the AF). So those guys that were trying to convince me they were bald because it was easier than getting a haircut all the time were actually going thin? :eek: If only I’d known then… ---
