One issue with beards is that they are supposed to prevent a proper gas mask seal. I read a story about this recently and in it, a Sikh US Army officer was saying that hey can seal his mask even with a beard.

Firemen growing beards for Up Helly Aa has caused the closure of a fire station in Shetland for similar reasons to the above.

Up Helly Aa is a fire festival. Here’s hoping nothing gets out of control.
