On Friday, the Marine Corps announced that it will cease taking administrative and other disciplinary action against Marines suffering from razor bumps or if they cannot shave for medical reasons.
“No Marine shall receive a 6105 counseling due to a diagnosis of a PFB [pseudofolliculitis barbae] condition or treatment for PFB,” according to Marine Corps Administrative Message 019/22. “No Marine shall be processed for administrative separation, separated from the Marine Corps, or denied reenlistment due to a PFB condition and/or for placement in a temporary or permanent ‘no shave’ status.”
