How about cleaning your boots/shoes every time you take them off,
You cant go out without ironing your kit first, sorry your shirt!! I think that one speaks for itself eh??

When on the phone you communicate in nothing but "cancel my last" when reffering to a change of plans or the old one "Stand by" when working out a location...Im halfway towards giving full co ordinates for a meet up location with the lads on a night out.

When you realise that most of the people in the Army are only there because they are far too fucking stupid to plan their own day.

My husband says "send" when asking for the zippo.

You know when you've been in the army too long when you can't go to a new unit without knowing someone, your bones creak and you make funny noises when standning up, or if you have multiple posts in the high folutin high brow clever forums on ARRSE... and they all make sense...

This also applies if you 'were' in the army too long, or if you are a life subscriber to 'combat and survival' the key recruitment pamphlet of the late 80s'....
