    Hey Chief,

    Just a note if you were not awear, as Chief Avillo stated about head hair, there was a lawsuit in Washington DC based upon religious beliefs that centered around beards. To my knowledge they lost the suit and had to allow the facial hair due to discrimination. The reasoning is because the are not a state. Something to look into if this becomes the issue you might be dealing with.

    Stafe Safe !! Dennis
