Anybody else growing a Mo for Movember?

Movember is now in its sixth year and, to date, has achieved some pretty amazing results by working alongside The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCFA) and beyondblue: the national depression initiative. Check out further details at: http://au.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.

If you are interested in following the progress of my Mo, click here http://au.movember.com/mospace/309666/. Also, http://au.movember.com has heaps of useful
information.

Yep I'll be assisting in the effort by growing as dodgy a looking mo as I can manage due to the low amount I raised last year.
Sponsorship can be directed to: http://au.movember.com/mospace/47045/
Remember no matter who you donate to the money goes to the same place and is greatly appreciated!

Yep... "as part of your training to becoming a pilot, you must look professional at ALL times.
This includes...
No, or neat facial hair"

And considering the only facial hair i can grow isn't exactly neat

I think from Nafenn's comment that it means he knows he can't have neat facial hair...neither can I for that matter but I'm not under the same restrictions.

Exactly - it *can* be neat, eventually. The problem is that in-between scruffy stage from clean-shaven to neat.

I suspect that in cases like Nathan's, they'd accept clean-shaven and they'd accept a "grown-in" beard etc, but they wouldn't accept the in-between stage. If you wanted to grow facial hair you'd have to do it while you were on leave and come back to work with it already grown and neat, etc.

Or be one of these people that grows it at 5mm a day and so a weekends worth of growth could be made neat...
