Every service has one (or a couple dozen) of "rules" that "everyone" knows but somehow you can never find where they are actually written down.

What are some of yours?

How about this old classic from the Air Force.

E-1 to E-4 = Achievement Medal
E-5 to E-6 = Commendation Medal
E-7 to E-9 = Meritorious Service Medal

My long time best friend from 74 to 88 Sfc Seany. He and I were the only 2 in the unit wearing beards. We are both retired and still Rocking Beards.

In 22 years I have only seen 2.

One was at Fort Campbell. I looked at him and he said "sir, do you need to see my profile?" I just said "If you made it this far you have one on you"

A buttoned up M60 tank on the tank trails at Ft. Knox has right of way because the driver is a PVT that cannot see out the periscope

We were told in boot camp never to pick up that spare bar of soap on the shower floor. Next day we were all bare assed in line to get 200M IU bicillin in nuts to butts formation. Nobody could get that soap thing out of their mind....

SGT Dan Wirtz - a lesson learned when I had to put the M151 I was driving into the pucker brush at 40MPH, The XO was pretty pissed at me when he told me about that un-written rule that he thought I knew, I had only been there for 2 mos
