Sailors and Marines who have medical waivers for shaving will receive counseling after six months, according to the latest updates to the Navy and Marine Corps’ grooming standards. The Air Force also recently updated its policy on how long service members can have medical waivers for facial hair before facing administrative separation. The Navy and Marine Corps also require commanders to track service members with medical waivers for shaving. The reporting process does not affect whether Marines can be approved for a medical waiver for shaving, Carlock, the Marine Corps spokeswoman, said. Marines and sailors who cannot be clean-shaven after one year of medical treatment face being separated.
