Quote from: FishingLegend96 on May 03, 2016, 02:02:24 PMAppreciate all the positive comments. Shaved again today, going to try to keep the 30 day shave intact. Leaving for Navy basic in 5 weeks and I plan on keeping it shaved during that too. It's a rejuvenating feeling not wearing a hat everywhere I go. Can only get better from this point on. Just going to stay in shape and try to get a little sun, the cool spring breeze has never felt better though!!Looks great - and great timing on the decision. They would have given you a #1 clipper buzz when you got to Great Lakes anyway and fully shaved scalp looks MUCH better than a thinning #1! The shaved head makes you look more mature than the other youngsters who will be running around with their "boot buzzes".I was just up at Great Lakes today, (I am retired Navy and I was doing some business on the base. Spring has finally arrived, the trees are in blossom and the bitter winds off of the Lake are subsiding. The weather will be the nicest is can possibly be here when you come for basic. By the end of your basic it will actually be HOT here for a couple of weeks, ( our Summer only lasts a few weeks here). You won't get much time to write or surf the net while you are in basic but remember that we will be thinking of youI am looking forward to your writing and letting us know that you have graduated so that I can you; "Shipmate"!

Welcome to the board, FishingLegend!Congratulations on having the confidence and fortitude to face reality head on and take control. I am glad you are happy with your decision. It looks good.
Growing up I had the most beautiful hair. Few people could compare, I constantly received compliments for my curly locks. Took me awhile to come to terms that one of the strongest points of my look was starting to vanish. Trying to hide it was no longer worth it so I started to keep it short then just decided to shave for the first time. Feels good honestly, I've come to terms with my lineage. Here's to being bald and 20. 👍🏻Welcome!You look great.Steve
