Sailors, Marines could see changes to how beards are accommodated

The Department of the Navy has completed its long-awaited study on whether beards interfere with gas mask seals, federal court filings reveal.
But exactly what that will mean for sailors and Marines going forward remains unclear.
While the study’s findings have not been disclosed, court filings make clear that the department is now mulling changes to unspecified aspects of its policies governing when sailors and Marines with religious or medical accommodations may wear beards.

I would guess beards will be allowed in any form if it aids in recruiting and retention.
