Hegseth won’t meet troops with beards during South Korea trip

Service members with shaving waivers are not allowed to attend a meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth this week in South Korea.

When Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visits South Korea this week, he will face off against one of the most dangerous enemies to military readiness: Facial hair.

Service members with shaving waivers are not allowed to attend the event with Hegseth, which will be held at Camp Humphreys, according to an email from the 51st Fighter Wing at Osan Air Base, South Korea, which was posted on the unofficial Air Force amn/nco/snco page.
