Movember- NOOOO!

I received this email this morning as a forward from Grant's work account...and I think it may have  just ruined my November ;) I thought the Navy might frown upon any facial hair...I guess I was wrong!

ALCON,

On behalf of the residents in Family Medicine at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, I would like to formally invite you and every other member of the command to participate in the time honored tradition of the "MOVEMBER!" That is right, Mustache Month is back!!! Our objective is to celebrate the time honored tradition of manliness as it relates to facial hair, or the lack-their-of, for some of our "challenged" shipmates.

I am emailing to personally to ask for your participation, but fully understand if you decline. However, CAPT Iverson, has personally committed his upper lip to the "Art of Manliness." Again, if you decline, no hard feelings. Though Man-Cards may have to be revoked. (Figuratively Speeking)

The competition will be held from November 1 to November 30th.

There will be an online photo submission and voting system via the Command Intranet Page

Categories will be as follows (and we reserve the right to add more as we see fit)
        1. Creepiest
        2. Classiest
        3. Magnum (P.I. for you youngsters) ... Look it up if need be
        4. Most likely to be an Action Star
        5. Best Overall

Please stay tuned to your e-mail and the cork-board for updates and submission guidelines.

PS-If you thought BYU had strict honor code dress guidelines, check this out...kind of hilarious!
