American soldiers in South Korea got some surprising news this week. They learned that having a beard might stop them from meeting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The 51st Fighter Wing at Osan Air Base sent out an email with special rules about who can attend an event with the secretary at Camp Humphreys.
The email was pretty straightforward about the requirements. Someone posted it on an unofficial Air Force Facebook page, and people quickly noticed the restrictions. Later, an Air Force spokesperson told Task & Purpose that the email was real and the information was correct.
