Growing a beard

I've now reached uncharted waters in terms of growing my beard. I've been in the Air Force since before I was shaving so I've never gone longer then a week without shaving. Usually after a day or two of leave, I'll give in a shave. But for this deployment, they are having me grow a beard.

I have just enough hair on my face now that I find myself constantly fidgeting with it, but not enough to make it even look like a beard. Take a look for yourself.
