As for me, I was always getting my ass in a sling for not keeping my mustache within the boundaries of 35-10. I've worn my mustache since 1966, with the exception of a couple of very, very rare periods when I shaved it off just to see what my upper lip looked like. I put it back on immediately.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-60244377777228625732014-12-06T18:50:05.528-08:002014-12-06T18:50:05.528-08:00Heh.

My wife and daughters have never seen me without it. It now has a fair amount of grey but it blends with the blond. Tried to grow a beard while on an extended work-up cruise back in '81 but had too many holes.

Particularly those who hated Robin Olds.<br /><br />I had a mustache for a while on Okinawa, but every time I saw myself in the mirror I thought I looked like a balding Hitler. So I shaved it off.<br /><br />I suppose I could grow a nice one now, but most of my facial hair is grey. So that's not gonna happen. (Not to mention which <em>The Missus Herself</em> doesn't care for the mustachioed look. Not at all...)OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-73154045330722532102014-12-06T08:07:06.357-08:002014-12-06T08:07:06.357-08:00That WAS a great video; we loves us a unit that ho...That WAS a great video; we loves us a unit that honors their traditions and heritage. That said, one of my take-aways after watching this is the fighter pilots in my war had MUCH better 'staches, by an order of magnitude or greater. Nice try, Lefty... but no cigar.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.com
