One thing the civilian workplace seems to be lacking is a sense of urgency. I'm not sure if it's simply a reflection of today's workforce or my personal raising.
We are always looking for employees with a little giddy-up in their step. We seem to find those that sneak smoke breaks, disappear, and do less quality work. And...they can't be forced to do an 8 count push-up.

I'm sure there are many more. I just wasn't sure by reading the question you posed. Can you clarify the question?

Really hate to say it, but taking care of people is less of a priority in the civilian sector, hard to find that Espirit de corps we have. Also, honest feedback is offensive in the civilian sector.

I don't sense nearly enough sarcasm in this response. Please expand on this with explanations and ways to deal with this.

Lots of biting your tongue, and you'll discover other people's feelings again and be terribly annoyed! Haha

SSG Jason Black - Okay. Is that seriously how you learned to deal with those issues?

Like with anything else, you just have to adjust fire and learn your new environment.
