Mustache March Finale

I've received many comments (thanks Katy) over the past month about the "caterpillar" growing on my face. Most of those comments went something like "Hey there big man, do I know you? Here, here's my phone number, you can call whenever."



So, to fill in the gap - the AF is pretty strict on facial hair standards for men - did you know, for example, that your sideburns can't flare or extend past the bottom portion of the hole in your ear? Well, apparently the AF forgot that mustaches are totally eighties and look, well, downright ridiculous in uniform. So, of course, many of the guys across the AF - myself included - decide to exploit this fact - and once a year, grow out those sexy mustaches. It becomes a de facto contest to see who can grow the best mustache in a month as well. And this, my friends, is why we call it Mustache March.
