No More Beard!

[Old Sailor]

Well, the beard will have to come off.....they are coming around next shift at work, and fitting us for masks, for firefighting. It has been in the Canada Labour Code for years but hasn't been enforced till now, so I'm going to have to pass the fit test, but,, I can have a gotee as long as I get a seal on the mask. Oh well, come see, come saw. Only way to keep my beard is if I have problem with wearing any type of mask..ie claustraphobic or bad asthma, and a note from Dr.......the last I have.....maybe able to grow it back later, we'll have to wait and see.

Sorry you have to lose the whiskers, Dave, they are part of your personality. Just make sure you tell me who you are at the next herf if I don't recognize you. ;) :r

Dave - they say this will make you look younger - so now you should only look 600 instead of 700 yrs old! :ss:ss

Dave, with the beard partially gone it may be the start of a whole new stealth bombing campaign of an unknown member :r:r

Back in the dark ages (1970s) when the US Coast Guard still allowed beards and I was on an icebreaker they came through engineering with the same type of test. There were a few of us with full beards that actually got a better seal on the masks then some of the clean shaven guys. The Navy still made us all shave so we could go through fire-fighting school.

Hate to see you lose your beard though. You can always grown it back after retirement.

Sorry to hear about the soon to be loss of facial hair Dave.
Maybe some of us can grow a beard in solidarity for ya! :tu

I have not shaved my goatee since late October...No one seems impressed about it but me!

[Conch Republican]

Funny this should come up... I missed this post yesterday. I was in the Bear Cave with Alex (A2VR6) tonight and we watched a piece on the CBC with Peter Masbridge where he spent some time on a research vessel in the High Arctic. The Captain of the Amundsen has a full beard as did many of the good men who worked on it. I actually asked Alex if he remembered you mentioning that you might have to shave.
Different rules for up there I guess? :confused:
Link to the sory (the piece starts in the 12th minute) http://www.cbc.ca/ondemand/news/thenational.asx (note the link will probably only be good until 10 pm on the 27th)

once they get around to all the ships, even the Capt will be tested. Will have to ask if this is Canada wide though.:hm:hm:al

:hm I heard somewhere that you are SHORT ON CIGARS!!:fu:r:r

[Don Fernando]

what? Mark is short on cigars?

[GWN]

The worst part about this is it means you have to spend more time shaving. My inherent laziness is the only reason I keep my goatee.
