Petition Change the rules on facial hair in the Royal Marines, Army and Air Force

We would like a change in the UK armed forces rules on facial hair. We would like to be able to grow a well groomed beard whilst serving.

More details

The Royal Navy, Police, and fire service are all permitted to grow well maintained, neat facial hair. We are asking that the rules be reviewed for the Royal Marines, Army and Air Force to come in line with the other services.
