First thanks, I had my once a decade smooth lip for the second half of last year. The current stache started on New Years day 2013. Since the cheesy stache was a constant for me (even when I was on active duty) deployments were hair and sideburns time. I came home from the Kosovo gig with hair and sideburns and neither one of my kids even recognized me (at that point only my wife had ever seen me with hair or sideburns). These days I don't have enough hair left to bother with either but the soup strainer is still out in full force. Although I've promised myself a home stretch set of chin whiskers for my last semester of grad school. I bet she'll love that. Confidentially though I doubt I could go 4 months without shaving but I guess I'll give it a go next year around this time.
