Shaved already. I could care less about this. It's entertaining, but still kinda stupid to me.

All I've done is trim my beard to keep it neat looking so that no one complains. I haven't let it grow like this in damn near a year. lol

I'm pretty sure if I took part in Novembeard my girlfriend would refuse to touch my face.

My beard grows in patches and starts to itch, so I shaved once this month. My bad.

I already had to shave

Maybe next year...

It's okay to admit you're weak.

Aren't you forced to shave daily, dude?

wat?

You shut your whore mouth.

Eric: You heard me. You couldn't do it. Weak.

Again, I must point out that you are forced to shave daily out of fear. Not weakness, but fear of being reprimanded for stepping out of line. At least Eric participated for half the month.

Fear? No. I'm a squared away sailor. It's part of my job as a United States sailor, a member of the military, to practice the grooming standards laid out by the uniform regulations. Not fear.

Dedication.

At this point it's dedication, sure. I can't imagine you were that dedicated when you signed up, though. You just did as you were told at that point (which is where the fear part of my post comes in).

Also, why the Navy? Why not something badass like Marines or special forces or even the freaking CIA?

Well, you don't enlist in the "special forces" or CIA. Each branch has its own spec-ops (for example, the Navy has SEALs, EOD, SWCC, and others), and I have no interest in the CIA, and I didn't join the marines because my IQ surpasses 100 and I'd like to take advantage of that.

Yeah, I decided that having a scraggly looking beard wasn't worth losing an $8000 contract. I guess that's weak.
