Phonetic Alphabet
Spelling out words using the military phonetic alphabet is a tendency that all soldiers have. They will say something like “juliet” instead of the letter “j” and “delta” instead of “d”. You’ve probably even heard them talking right beside you and you had no clue what they were saying.
Short Showers
Long luxurious showers are basically unheard of when you are in the military because there’s no time for them. Showers are brief because they are nothing more than a necessity. Soldiers usually still have this habit even when they are back to civilian life.
