In this June 20, 1942 photo provided by the Naval History and Heritage Command, Howard Curtis, a U.S. Navy second-class aerographer, wears a seven-month's beard at Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Though the Navy said in July 2018, that its servicewomen could wear longer hairstyles, servicemen have not been permitted to wear beards, which were banned in 1984.
