It took me a while to figure this out, but I notice it all the time now and I HATE the look of a goatee most the time. Especially the whole Mr. Clean thing. Ugh sooooo played out! If you are going to go bald, just rock it and showcase what you can't change.

Yeah same in the military, though I thought the Navy used to be more lax and allow long sideburns, maybe not anymore.
Personally I can maybe grow a crappy goatee, I can't grow the long sideburn part to make it a beard. My hair was platinum blonde as a kid and now it is almost brown. My facial hair grows dirty blonde but kinda reddish on the chin.
http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/ check out these guys, I went and saw it in Carson City, I am surprised to see it come back to the US in 2009. If I could grow a stache I'd probably grow a horseshoe but I've always had an acute fascination with the handlebar.
