Shaving during RTC
I typically take a long time to shave, my hair grows in odd directions. It's my understanding that shaving has to be done quick and look sharp. I don't want to be the last to finish, or have an RTC on my ass.
What exactly are the RTCs standards for a clean shave? What is the time limit to shave? Are there any tips a graduated sailor might add to help? |

Wake up early. You should do this anyway, even if you're doing a quick shave, because 88 dudes crowding about a dozen sinks and mirrors is no fun.
Shaving standards are more or less strict depending on the RDC or inspector. To be safe, your RDC will probably order everyone to freshen up their shave immediately before a major inspection. But if it's not good enough for the inspector, there's nothing to be done for it. I took a shave hit in the dress uniform inspection despite shaving like 3 times, along with 10 or so other guys. With that in mind, don't be afraid to get an RDC up your ass. It happens, and it's actually a great learning experience.

Have the person on watch wake you up a little early if you need extra time. Everyone needs to be shaved, dressed, compartment clean, and on the toe line at revile every morning. There will be times where you have to shave during the day and it needs to be quick, just make it happen. If your shave isn't sat they will make you go fix it.

When I get caught, I (intend to) get caught doing (only) what I'm supposed to be doing, and hopefully the RDC response will be "carry on."

You're only going to shower once a day, and it's never in the morning... but waking up an hour before reveille to shave, go to the bathroom, and get yourself ready won't be an issue. Nobody ever came into the compartment that close to rev, and your RDC's expect everyone up and ready when they walk in.
