Sunday, May 31st, 2009 | Author: SGM Troy Falardeau
It’s June 1st, which means two things.  The first is that the 314th PAOC has only 6 months left on its 1 year deployment.  It also means that Mustache May is over and the voting for your favorite hairy upper lip now begins.

For the past 31 days, eight Army Reserve Soldiers in the 314th have used all that pent-up testosterone to sprout mustaches.  For some it was a welcome improvement to their looks, while others provided us some comic relief, and some we were not sure what to say.  That is why we are leaving it up to you — our faithful blog readers–to decide which mustaches receive which of our three awards:

Category1:  Best-looking mustache

Catergory2:  Funniest-looking mustache

Category3:  Please shave that thing off!

We can’t tell you the name, rank or serial number of any of the contestants…yet.  You only have those 14 square inches of face to use in your judging.  You can vote once in each of the three categories.   Vote by submitting them as a comment to this blog entry – just tell us the letter of which contestant gets your vote in category in 1, 2 and 3.  Voting ends on June 15 at midnight, Birmingham, AL time.

Tell all your friends to visit this site and vote.  The final votes will be revealed June 16 (just in case you don’t want to read all the comments and do the math yourself).  A profile of each of the winners will also be posted shortly thereafter — so you can see the rest of the winners’ faces and a little bit about them.

Oh, in case you wanted to know, a couple of the contestants are now sans mustache,  Now that it is 120+ degrees in Baghdad, they said they didn’t want a sweaty upper lip).  Perhaps they will change their mind this fall when it dips back below freezing.
