The anti-thesis to the 'you know the army is in your brain when......'
- Sideburn growing is an ongoing battle that you liken to the struggle against apartheid...
- You regularly use about 10% of your initial kit issue, the rest of your work/field gear is bought/acquired. The remainder of your issued kit is currently housing small mammals in your garage..
- You take circuitous routes when walking on base to avoid saluting people.
- You tell people 'knock it off with that sarge non-sense, my name is Frank'
- Your idea of a memo is walking to that persons office and talking to them
- You make up comedy, ironic signature blocks for your CF e-mail, and find it even funnier when people don't see the irony in them
- You understand the difference between the things that kill people on operations and the things people get way too stressed about in garrison
- you can count on one hand the number of haircuts you have in one year and yet never get jacked up for looking scruffy.
- your purchase of 'mess dress' amounted to a $15 dollar wal-mart shirt and a bow tie
- when civvies ask what you do you use the vaguest term possible for your trade ie. IT type, engineer, paramedic
- you think people with high and tight, USMC style haircuts, take this stuff way too seriously and should be watched closely...and are often proven right
