What habit(s) have you been unable to break after leaving the military?

Eating fast, normally being a half an hour or more earlier being somewhere than the time I was asked to be.

I always thought the gigline looked assymetrical with the buckle pushed off to the side. When I put on a civilian belt buckle, I place it right in the center. While on duty, I join in, and give my full respect to the methodology and traditions of the US Army. While away from duty I grow a beard, I speak softly, I'm kind & understanding, I relax, and I don't sweat the small things. The military is an important part of who I am, but not to the extent that my personality becomes it. If my ability to go full-civilian ever fades away, then the green weenie has truly won, and I'll be just another insufferable haircut with a permanently bulging neck-vein. I try to learn and keep the best of myself from both walks of life - which really just means being a professional, and a gentleman.

Correcting people when they jump out their lane. I still verbally assist people back into their lane to do their job

Gig line, yes, plus, Haircut and shave. Look sharp everyday! Looking professional is a big part of the game!

After 21 years being retired, it's all become a pleasant memory like High School was 49 years ago.

Knife hand, negative, correction, roger and eating standing up to name a few.

Using military lingo like once in a while tell someone to get their head out of the four point contact or the spelling

Yeah, checkin' that gig line 49 years later. Don't worry about wolfin' down your food, that'll come in time.

Not tolerating the words "It can't be done".

My "favorite" color is still OD Green
