- Sgt. 1st Class Benjamin Hopper of the Nevada Army National Guard has received a uniform religious exception to sport a beard based upon his Norse pagan belief
- Norse paganism is a polytheistic religion that is based on ancient beliefs and practices associated with the geographic area of Scandinavia

- He cited Army documents from 2017 that could allow him the exception based on the fact beards are seen as a sacred and defining feature of masculine men
- 'My personal faith is deeply tied to the modern warrior lifestyle that I have been able to live during my military career,' Hopper said
- He added: 'It is honoring the pillars of heathenism, our ancestors and ancient gods and way of life'
- According to the Nevada Guard's Chaplain's Office, two other pagan soldiers also are pursuing a waiver to wear a beard
- Chaplain corps said it will work to accommodate genuine requests from military but it isn't 'actively promoting a trend in this direction or seeking to normalize it'
