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

Funny, I hadn't thought about any of this until this question was posted. I'm guilty of almost everything here, gig line, coffee, right hand free, stepping out on the left foot... jeez, I never realized. But one I haven't' seen yet... I catch myself keeping in step with at least one of the people I'm walking with or immediately behind. I will even "skip step" sometimes.

I can't have my hair drow for more than 2 weeks. The hair around my ears bother me. I got used to having a fresh medium fade every Sunday.

-Gig line always.
-Everything (vehicles, trailers, equipment, boats, guns, etc) must be serviced and ready. Before and after use.
-Clothes folded
-Short hair
-Military phrases. (Drives my wife and kids nuts)
-Timeliness and dependability Probably many more.

Keeping head on a swivel. Being on a plane with a raghead Im wondering if they've got a suicide vest on. I carry my .45 everywhere. Military time, short hair cut, and Copenhagen snuff. Semper fi.
