Church of the Life-Giving Trinity on Sparrow Hills. Can military personnel wear mustaches, beards

Therefore, it is not surprising that we do not know very much about the various subtleties that airlines resort to in order to additional savings or safety. Frankly, more often than not, the safety of passengers is the cause of some things that we could observe, but did not even suspect their true meaning, writes Ofigenno.com.

bearded pilots

You've never seen them either, have you? The thing is that the airline strictly forbids its pilots to have facial hair. And all because the beard can interfere with the snug fit of the oxygen mask to the face, and the pilot is the most important person on board.

Plane landing

You can review all existing films, at the very least related to aircraft, but the likelihood that a common person will be able to land the plane in a critical situation, is extremely small. Landing an airplane is a truly complex process that pilots have been mastering for years.

Coolness in the cabin

Those who have flown by plane should have noticed that the cabin is always quite cool regardless of the time of year. It would seem that airlines are just trying to save on heating, but no. The fact is that with pressure drops at low temperatures, the risk of hypoxia is much less.

Aircraft control

Aircraft control is a very complex and time-consuming process, however, at any time, if necessary, the pilot can leave the cockpit, for example, to visit the toilet. In this case, one of the flight attendants is required to take his place in order to monitor the co-pilot in case he becomes ill.

Silk handkerchiefs

At the dawn of development military aviation pilots always wore silk scarves around their necks. But it was not at all about some romantic story or something similar. Scarves had a practical purpose. The military uniform was made of very dense fabric, and the control of the aircraft involved constant rotation of the head, as a result, the collars rubbed the neck until it bled. This is where silk scarves come in handy.

Delay

If your flight is delayed, the last thing to do is take your anger out on the flight attendants. Their time spent on the ground is paid much less, and therefore every delay hits the pocket.

Statistics

Every day, airlines carry about 3 million passengers, which translates into a turnover of 5 billion passengers annually. Approximately every two seconds, somewhere in the world a plane takes off, and somewhere else it lands.

Airport interior

Almost every element of the interior in airports is conceived for a reason. Every detail is aimed at programming a person for certain actions. For example, there are very few seats in the waiting rooms on purpose so that people disperse while waiting for a flight to cafes and restaurants.

Flight path

It would seem that the shortest distance is a straight line, but planes never fly in a straight line, but write out various arcs and zigzags in the air. This is due to two things: firstly, the Earth is round, and the map is flat. And secondly, pilots are required to fly the plane along a certain trajectory so that there is an airport within reach that can urgently receive just this type of aircraft.

To date, air travel is mainly used in the countries of the first world, but the situation is gradually changing in better side, and perhaps soon they will become much more accessible. The world is slowly becoming closer and more interconnected, and technological process and will soon allow us to fly in ordinary taxis

Today you will not surprise anyone with airplanes, humanity has long fulfilled one of its main desires - to conquer the sky. But, despite the fact that the number of aircraft, passengers and flights is constantly growing, to date, only 5% of the world's population has ever used the services of airlines.

Why not? If they do not violate their appearance general rules military personnel? Remember Marshal Budyonny. Doesn't he just have a mustache, but o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o?

If women have begun to wear beards, how is this a mistake of nature,

then God himself ordered the warriors.

it all depends on your rank and position. Of course, ordinary ordinary soldiers cannot! but the officers are allowed. we are talking only about the mustache, no one can have a beard. I have a friend who works in the Ministry of Emergency Situations, so he also wanted to let go of his mustache and let him go. Only he is an officer and says even he was forbidden and not allowed. but he still did what he wanted, explaining that there is not a single regulatory document that would prohibit this.

from history: earlier, all firefighters were required to have a mustache. the thing is that when they went into the smoke, they bit their mustaches and breathed through them. how much it helped, I don’t know, but since they did it, it was good

Hee, I immediately recall the phrase of Ensign Shmatko from the series Soldiers: Mustaches are dirt, fleas, mice .. And rats!)) I don’t know for sure, but I think that in the army you can’t have mustaches for ordinary servicemen. The higher ranks, I think, can.

I asked my father this question, since he is a retired military man. So, in the army it is not allowed to wear a beard, you can’t even grow a light stubble.

But you can wear a mustache.

A beard is allowed only if there is a flaw on the face that disfigures the appearance, which the person is ashamed of. Like a big scar.

Yes, but I remember that some of the military went with a mustache, but I saw only one person with a beard. they said it was because of the scar. And getting a scar from a soldier is ten times higher than that of a person of a peaceful civilian profession.

In the Army, mustaches and beards are not required, first of all, they need very careful care, and this takes time, and naturally in the Army there is no time for this, so almost everyone is clean-shaven and without mustaches and beards, and units are allowed to wear mustaches.

I have not read the Charter and I don’t know on the basis of what they can ban the wearing of a beard in the army, but a mustache can definitely be worn. Since ancient times, the mustache was considered a hallmark of the military, and in any historical book you can read how bravo they twisted their mustaches before the next feat. As for the beard, they say that wearing them is left to the discretion of the commander, and it seems like captains and officers in the navy can wear beards, again paying tribute to tradition. And recently I heard that, according to studies carried out by someone, bearded men are more combat-ready and courageous, and therefore in the special forces of many countries, wearing a beard is simply mandatory, especially during military operations.

Military personnel with extensive experience and rank can, of course, wear a mustache and beard

These are experienced people who have seen everything. And a mustache with a beard suits them very well

Those who have neither title nor experience, of course, can also wear facial hair.

But she needs to be looked after, and this takes time, which they catastrophically do not have.

Therefore, many people shave their beards and mustaches so as not to waste extra time on their care.

Mustaches and beards can be worn, but they must meet two main requirements:

First, be neat and tidy.

Secondly, they should not interfere with the wearing of personal protective equipment.

And of course, that awkward transitional moment when a three-day stubble smoothly turns into a mustache and a beard needs to be waited out somehow, often this can only be done on vacation or on sick leave. The rest of the time, the soldier will not be allowed not to shave for so long, some shave even 2 times a day.

When I served in the army, although it was a long time ago, this was categorically not allowed. The only one who did not fall under this rule, who already had a mustache in the photo on the military ID. As you can imagine, there were very few of them. I think that since the time of the Union, hardly anything has changed in this matter.

Men wear beards for various reasons.

Some people are just too lazy to shave, others consider it an aesthetic manifestation of masculinity, it seems to someone that the bristles emphasize the beauty of the face.

In some specialties, a beard is prohibited, and in some, on the contrary, it is common.

Professions associated with responsibility for people, for their lives and health, as well as those in which great importance has a corporate image, may not allow growing a beard.

It is interesting to know the reasons for the norms for the aesthetic appearance of the face for various workers. How can facial hair get in the way of civic duty? And what can dispose an employee to grow stubble on his face?

Wearing a beard in various professions

There is a job for which a bearded face is rather the norm:

geologist;
archaeologist;
climber.

On business trips, shaving every day is inconvenient.. Cultural workers - artists, writers, musicians - may forget to shave their faces immaculately due to their enthusiasm for their work. Priests are required to wear a long beard by decree of the Diocese.

In creative professions where physical characteristics are important, such as actors and models, the presence of facial stubble depends on the specific project. A creative runway image and photo shoot concept may require a freshly shaved face for the model.

If a professional model has a certain look that includes no facial hair, then they will continue to be exploited. Actor's face business card motion pictures. If the actor is ordered to shave on the set, then he cannot refuse it under the terms of the contract.

Civil servants

Beards are prohibited for employees of state-owned enterprises according to the procedure: officials, politicians, metro workers, employees of such enterprises as Gazprom, Rosneft, Sberbank. Reasons for the ban:

A question of citizens' trust: it is believed that a bearded man cannot inspire confidence.
A clean-shaven face in a man is an indicator of high social status and expression of the company's image.
The neat look of the face goes well with the uniform.

This type of ban is justified only by issues of image and psychology.. A bearded face is an attribute of religions such as Islam and Judaism, but a civil servant must demonstrate his neutrality.

There are no technical reasons for a ban on beards among civil servants.

Rescuers and pilots

It is forbidden to grow stubble on the face of all rescuers: firefighters, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. This is due to the instructions for the use of breathing apparatus. A beard on the face can interfere with:

tightness of the face mask;
valve operation.

But why shouldn't airplane pilots wear beards? The reason for the need for a smooth face for the rescuer may be the use of a gas mask. If there is excess hair on the face, there is a possibility of gaps between the face and the gas mask, into which gas can enter. Such rules exist in Russia and the USA.

The rules for the smoothness of the face in connection with the operation of the breathing mask are also relevant for pilots.

Chefs and catering workers

Sanitary hygiene rules for catering workers require cooks to be clean-shaven, however, allow the chef to have a beard when wearing a special mesh.

The ban can be logically explained by the fact that in the presence of facial hair, hair can fall into the dish, which is naturally unacceptable according to sanitary and even ethical standards.

The appearance of the employees of the hall (waiters) determines the company's regulations.

Teachers and lecturers

There is no official decree that teachers in Russia should not have facial hair.

Therefore, whether it is possible to go to school with a beard or not, as well as the appearance of employees as a whole is determined by the regulations educational institution.

However, such a norm exists in Tajikistan.

The Ministry of Education of Tajikistan has issued a circular that requires all teachers under the age of 50 to shave smoothly, teachers over 50 are allowed to wear a beard no longer than 3 cm.

Police officers

Many readers are interested in the question of whether it is possible to wear a beard in the police.

We will try to answer in detail.

The charter of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Russia does not allow the wearing of a beard. Even slight unshavenness can provoke a reprimand from superiors.

Wearing beards by police officers is not possible due to the possible need to use a gas mask.

In 2012, the government introduced a decree abolishing the wearing of beards in the Iraqi police, the reason for which is the desire of the leadership that the image of law enforcement officials be religiously neutral.

Employees of large companies

In many organizations, there are corporate standards for the dress code of subordinates. One of the obligatory points of such prescriptions is the absence of bristles.

The main driving factor of restrictions is the organization's concern for its image. A clean-shaven face is a symbol of neatness, and a beard, according to management, can provoke untidiness.

In international, financial and political organizations, rules on appearance, which include shaved face for men, apply to the following positions:

consultants;
press secretaries;
customer service managers;
lawyers;
middle managers.

All professions related to working with clients, including the profession of a security guard, fall under the need for a neat, hair-free face for a man.

astronauts

Modern Russian regulations require astronauts to refuse to grow facial hair.

The new rules are due to technical necessity, because falling hair can get into the equipment, which is fraught with disaster, for safety reasons astronauts must use a razor.

And although doing this in zero gravity is not the easiest thing to do, however, a beard moistened with foam must be quickly and reliably disposed of.

In some professions, there are requirements for appearance that are dictated by the customer. The main reasons for the infringement of the right to wear bristles are the use of masks, safety requirements for the operation of special equipment, hygiene standards and corporate image.

Caring for aircraft passengers

It is known that officials and politicians are forbidden to grow a beard, as it does not inspire confidence. They must constantly work with people. Also, according to sanitary standards, cooks must shave. Although in the case of wearing a protective mesh, the beard can be left. The main thing is accuracy. By the way, the appearance of teachers is established by the charter of the educational institution, and firefighters and rescuers of the Ministry of Emergencies are forbidden to wear it. It is curious that some airlines allow their flight crew to wear a neat beard.

Note that in some professions, a beard is considered the norm, but in organizations where image plays a big role, a beard ban is always introduced. So, police officers and astronauts are required to abandon facial hair due to technical necessity. In some professions, wearing a beard is completely unacceptable. For pilots, this is aimed at ensuring the safety of pilots and passengers. Vegetation on the face interferes oxygen mask stick to the face.

Most men shave their beards for aesthetic reasons. Some do not like to shave, others want to emphasize the beauty of the face. Musicians and artists are so passionate about their work that they forget about appearance. The famous German violinist David Garrett constantly wears a beard. So he looks more courageous and every day gains more and more fans. He calls himself a practical person and says that long hair and a beard are comfortable. It is difficult to imagine Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov and other famous representatives of Russia without a beard.

Not everyone knows that in the days of Aeroflot, it was forbidden for flight crews to wear rings. So, in any work related to moving cars, you should not wear bracelets and chains. It is not comfortable! IN extreme situation in pilots, a phalanx and even a finger can come off. And when jumping from a height, it is easy to catch on and get a complex injury.

It is for this reason that many rules have been created for pilots and flight attendants about what is allowed and what is not. Pilots' faces must be clean-shaven at all times. We add that flight attendants always know what their appearance. This must be taken into account. Only a few airlines allow pilots to have a well-groomed beard. In some countries, conflict situations on this basis quite often occur. And before, it was allowed to wear a beard in Russian army only officers and midshipmen.

Priority #1 - passenger safety

An airline employee is considered its face, so he always needs to be neat. When an accident occurs, the incorrect appearance of the flight crew can affect the safety and life of passengers. This ban is considered professional, although emergency situations currently occur infrequently. Interestingly, at the beginning of the century before last, it was possible to grow a beard for generals. Mustaches should not prevent the military from wearing equipment and protective equipment.

It is undesirable for officers in the army to wear wedding rings. Their hairstyle and mustache must always meet the requirements of hygiene. Otherwise, the gas mask will not fit snugly. It is curious that in America you can wear a beard and hats to emphasize your religion. Although, we note, not all countries are so liberal. After all, a beard will only interfere with a soldier in hand-to-hand grip. Of course, you can negotiate with the command. And if there is a scar on the lower part of the face, the army may be allowed to grow a beard. If the troops are in northern regions, a beard will help with frostbite and save ..
