You really dont want anymore attention directed your way than you can handle... Your goal is to be the gray man; having a beard will definitely affect your ability to blend in with your fellow students. You dont want to be "that" guy and it wont change once in Group... Something to think about.
You have a lil time to think about it before you can attend SFAS anyway...

Roger that, and understood. Like I said, 1/8 inch is the lenght where it gives me NO problems. I do use clippers(Like barbers use to cut hair) to trim it down really close(1/16 inch) if there is a ceremony or a board that I must attend. Would THAT get me through? Oh, not really much time, though it may sound the contrary. Based on Time in Grade/Time in Service, I will be getting 2 promotions in the next 7 months(E-1 through E-4 promotions are automatic, as long as 'Murphy' doesnt pay an unfortunate visit to me.....), which means I will be an E-4/SPC on 1 Feb. 2009. The SF Recruiter told me if I get with him as soon as I get my E-3 promotion(1 Aug., 2008) and we get the volunteer packet completed I can attend SFAS right after I get "pinned" in February.
I'm not trying to "get over" or skate my way through anything, I just want to know all options and make/take educated and well thought out plan of action. In the end, the important thing is me getting selected, so if a situation arises, hell..... I will dry-shave with an a shard of obsidian if need be.
