Right Hand Free
Soldiers are known to always keep their right hand free, or for the select few, their left hand. They have the habit of keeping their “strong” hand available at all times no matter when or where. Sorry ladies, you’ll have to hold your man’s left hand!
Hands In Pockets
Another easy way to spot a soldier or a veteran is by seeing whether they place their hands in their pockets or not. You’ll rarely find soldiers with their hands in their pockets, as they are always ready for whatever may occur. You can most often find them in a power stance with their hands on their hips instead.
