Joining a new team and a new organization is always difficult, but it is something everyone does multiple times in their life. New address, new school, new college, new job, new promotion, and the list goes on. Anytime you join a new organization is a good time to look at the environment around you and prepare to make the best of a new experience.

Remember to not use your military jargon that you learned. Don't say Roger that!!, ate up!, stand-bye one!, Negative!!, say again??LOL.
You may be working in a liberal new carbon tax climate change groupthink group of people. You need to try to fit in and speak like they speak.

I'm not trying to sound creepy but I try to think of myself as a predator and a successful predator likes to blend in with the environment by sight and sound. If I'm in an environment surrounded with a bunch of thin skinned anti Trumpers I will quickly evaluate their weaknesses so I can snuff out their feelings like a cheetah that surprises an elk that's getting a drink of water at a nearby puddle. I might even throw out some bias statements even though it might be slightly distasteful but it's all about adaptation and surviving. If I have a chance to do a reconnaissance and some other research that might help me in the type of clothes that I should wear so I do not stick out like a wolf among the sheep so if I have to disguise my wolf self by throwing on a sheep disguise that is what I must do.
