Just to start the conversation, I still make sure that my 'gig' line is straight every single time I get dressed.

All my clothes in my closet are separated by type (T Shirts, Dress Shirts, Polo's, Jeans, Dress Pants, etc) and all are equally spaced between hangers

Check the gig line, line up my shoes, don't worry about my hair because there's not much left. Don't even have a comb.

Knife hand to make a point, replying "aye sir", saying let's get underway to get work started, and verbal chastisement as only a military leader can do,lol

I’m bad about the gig line. I still fold my shirts Army style and everyone is either sir, or Ma’am. Maybe that’s just a southern thing.

I still use 24hr time.
When hand writing, I'll alternate between block and regular letters without realizing.
I'm always 10-15min early for every thing.
I curse like a sailor.
I still use naval terms like deck and swab.
