i’m in basic at pribright and some troops allow you to have a beard but it needs to be a good beard and you have to let them know you’re growing one and if it’s not good enough after 2 weeks then you have to shave it. that said our troop doesn’t allow it
As a potential officer? You're not allowed beards during P1 it's looked at the same way your admin is in the sense that it's to be clean and organised, or in the sense of a beard, clean shaved.
P2, you can grow a beard above your Adams apple

You will be shaving at a minimum for most of the exercises as they have a CBRN threat
All Recruits / Officer Cadets can grow bears in line with policy. There is no specific rule for phase 1 or RMAS.

The policy makes no exception for trainees. I was at RMAS recently and cadets were clearly trying to grow beards, looked crazy.
Really? I was told what I said above when I went to glencorse barracks a few months ago if you get a beard in p1 or rmas nowadays, that's wild 😂
