I m just passingly curious: why do all senior officers in the S. L. Navy have beards?

Another "I'm the man" ego maniac it seems. Shows all about him by the way how he accepts the sword from the out going commander and how he walks behind the out going commander. We always buy big stuff but never become a better country. Wonder if this is the miracle..

NEXT NAVY CHIEF SHOULD BE FROM ROYAL FAMILY.
