5 Military Habits That Change How You Do Civilian Things

Don't get excited. It's not information you don't already know about. It's just adapted differently in civilian life.

With Thanksgiving coming up this week — and your imminent return home to see your dear beloved family with whom you have not visited since the recent election — we here at Angry Staff Officer thought you might enjoy a short reprieve before you are forced to have an actual face-to-face discussion about politics with someone who disagrees with you. Hopefully this puts you in a better mood before you eventually put the turkey on your head to drown out the happy discord that is the confluence of the American family and American politics these days.

I left a set of Division level graphics on a macaroni grill table cover (they put the butcher paper on the table) in crayon with an ACR in a screening position, all the way back to the FDRP at the Div rear boundary.

Child discipline through corrective training. I made my kid who loses everything do multiple TA50 style layouts and physical inventories (hard copy) of her athletic equipment bag and school back pack after sand bagging me with the old 'I don't know where it is, so we can't go' BS.

That's what needs to be done. It will pay off in the long run. Three out of four of my grown kids were like that. Every time I picked up something of theirs that I told them to keep up with it went in my "excuse" drawer, and they couldn't get it back until they told me it was missing from their backpack or sports bag. The only one still like that is my daughter and her kids. They learned nothing from her because she still loses things. It really ticks me off when she calls to ask if she left, whatever she can't find, is at our house. The other two are like I was with them.
