    In a normal manner of speaking I would agree with you, but depending on who or what organization you speak with, it's 2 different things. A short cut goatee might be able to be seal in a gas mask if needed; A full on smart-cut beard can't.

    They went to the trouble of making a beard diagram. I saw one in color today here in Memphis. 1/2 inch thickness is true. Mutton chops are out. Mustache and soul patch are in. Amish beard is in as long it's 1/2 inch thick or less...

    I'm already sporting my full 1/2" long beard. I run flatbed so don't interact with a lot of office personnel but the first FLL that says something to me is going to get an earful

    Just go to the nearest truck stop fuel desk, look for a driver with a beard and ask what company he drivers for. If your lucky you will pick on that speaks English.
