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

Being 15 minutes early for everything. Being 10 minutes early is 5 minutes late.

#1 Being on time. OMG I work for a company where you schedule a 1300 (yup that's #2, still go by 24 hour time) meeting and people don't show up until 1305. This is especially annoying when AV is involved and it takes another 10 minutes to get the graphics up or the web conference going. Now you've just wasted 20 minutes and the meeting still hasn't started yet.
#3 Spelling everything phonetically you should see me text, Oscar Mike Golf!
#4 The gig line. I so hate when it ain't straight!
#5 Calling, "At Ease" to quiet down a room.

CPO William A. Bullard Jr. - Try living with a Pilipino. They don't know the meaning of being on time, esp. with other Filipinos. Drives me crazy.

SPC Paul Weegar - I feel your pain! 2nd ex is Filipino. Time is a 'foreign' concept! She also learned real quick about Credit Cards...just never got that thing about paying the bill!

24 hour clock...phonetic alphabet...using the head(latrine for you Army guys!)...gig line...uncover in a building...had to stop and think about it. 20 years of 24/7/365 'indoctrination' becomes ingrained. Don't even realize until family points something out or goes...'Huh?'
