Hi everyone,

I got out of the army a couple years ago, and as I was transitioning out I set up my dress uniform all prim and proper, but never had a reason to get an official photo taken in it.

My parent’s only picture of me in a dress uniform is after basic training, so they have been basically begging me for an updated photo since I told them I was buying the new uniform.

The issue is that I’ve had a mustache/goatee combo of varying length since getting out, and my wife and I are both strongly against completely shaving it for the picture. If I trim it down, hopefully revealing the structure of my face, could the photo be altered to appear as though I had shaved?

Lastly, I know the rules say to link a photo, but because a dress uniform is kind of like wearing your entire service history, I prefer to not make it utterly public. The photos are the regulation covering these types of photos

Thanks in advance!

    So what exactly are you asking for. To have a shot of your head all trimmed and clean copied over to a shot of you in your dress uniform.

    Something a bit better than this lol

      Lol not quite, but I understand your confusion. In the next couple weeks I’m going to put the last few bells and whistles on the jacket, then get a proper haircut and trim my facial hair to make the job as easy as possible.

      Then the idea is to edit the facial hair out of that photo
