Facial hair and the troops in Iraq

As I hope you can tell if you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, this blog is about voiceover…both for those who do or hope to do voiceovers as well as for those looking for voices. But every once in a while, one of my friends writes something to which I think it’s worth linking, and today is one of those days.

So, no this isn’t a political post at all…it’s just a link to a cool story about some of our soldiers and their efforts to grow hair on their upper lips.

The connection to voiceover is tenuous at best. Chris Eder, the author of that linked post, is the guy in Iraq for whom I and a number of my friends provided voices for station imaging of some special programming earlier this year on Freedom Radio in Iraq.

(Addendum: Kudos to the Pittsburgh Airport Authority for providing free Wi-Fi in the airport so I could post this update while I’m waiting for my flight home.)
