Every service has one (or a couple dozen) of "rules" that "everyone" knows but somehow you can never find where they are actually written down.
What are some of yours?

SPC William Weedman
When I served in Korea, we were per CG directive not allowed to wear jungle boots from mid-October through Mid-April. Urban legend was due to the cold winters, the steel shank could cause frostbite. I do know a fellow soldier who had to go buy a pair of black boots in the later part of October because he had tossed his out while PCSing to Korea as they were "heavy & took up room". Obviously not Mensa material....

We were taught never to do the "Victory Dance" inside the radar van after fixing something that was broke. You know...being all excited and stuff. We had to go outside the van to celebrate. Actually saw a SNCO do the dance with I was a dragonfly in the early 90s.

Walking and talking was formerly not authorized and has been recently specifically allowed to do so. A lot of people are not aware of this change though.

SCPO (Join to see) When was this changed? As far as I'm tracking it is a DOD Policy. All military personnel and even DOD civilians have to abide by it.

In the Army, AR 670-1 (para 3-6) forbids hands in pockets except briefly to retrieve (place?) an item.

Navy authorized it around 2006ish. A lot of the older guys (such as myself) still get onto Sailors about it.

Where does it say in the regulation that you can’t call the general by his first name?

I remember guys saying "it's not in the regulation or policy" but the command said via an order that you will do certain things or else
