Allow soldiers to grow beards

What the petition asks

The British Army prides itself on being the most inclusive organisation on this island. Many soldiers are now asking for the rules to be changed to allow personnel to grow beards in conjunction with their fellow civilians. Senior Royal members are now following the right to grow. Also the navy?

1. Royal Navy allows it
2. Senior Royals agree
3. Special forces are allowed
4. Religious backgrounds allow it
5. Army regulations can change with trend
6. Other NATO countries allow it
7. Soldiers operating in a CBRN environment understand the procedure for fitting PPE
