I started growing a beard the day I left defence nearly 8 years ago. It was a glorious day!
I met my partner in defence and we have been together since I left, so she isn't and has never been keen on it. Our kids love it though and get upset if interim it back too far.
I don't notice the itching so much anymore, I do notice you scratch through it more often when it is short.
Come September though, things may have to change again. The beard may have to go into hiding for a few years. Not looking forward to those days!
For the sake of your manly hood, I'd go a beard and push through all the little annoyences.
