Also, I feel compelled to explain my perspective on the situation (merely the beard itself). Two years ago I was ordered by a staff member (while on PAT pl) to go to the MIR due to excessive skin irritation caused by shaving. There I was given a chit in order to cease shaving. When I was later attached posted to 21EW Regt, I was authorized to cease shaving on the basis that I was in the Navy. This was the best route, to me, as it would simplify my situation in the sense that I would no longer have to go to the MIR to have my chit renewed (I was on a temporary chit twice). Now that the memo has been denied at the school, I can't go back to the MIR and get a new chit for the same reason, as it would blatantly appear as if I were subverting their orders and authority.
That's mainly the reason I even pushed the issue in the first place.
EDIT: I believe I answered this question before, but it was asked again. My ID does not show me wearing a beard. This is a shortcoming on my part, as I didn't properly read the regs and I misinterpreted the requirement. But as mentioned before, even if I did have it on my ID, it would not represent authority to wear it.
