Some observations about myself newly released into the civilian world:
-Sir & Ma'am - not too deeply ingrained in me yet and easily dropped with annoyance. Civilians find it ammusing, but associate it with age.
-Cupped hands - an annoying little habit that happens occationally when one forgets or stops thinking about where one is and reverts back to habit.
-West Point reaction - expected that all react with interest when told. Lots of East Coast people know people who go there. Uniforms can be mistaken for guards.
-Popping off - talk louder now, can't hear those that don't
-Sleepless - perpetual drowseyness. Standing in class is a West Point thing.
-Eager to learn - when military stuff arises must show knowledge and learn about to 'brief on.' Navy sucks.
-Binge factor - will eat simply because it is impossible to get at West Point. Aslo speed and amount has increased.
-Seclusion stories - find out you're out of touch with civilization, but you've lived a lifetime of stuff to tell about West Point.
-The Habitual - when for about the time of an impulse, you think "I'm in the hallway now, got to stop talking."
-Realization of Benefits - the Army feeds us and houses us well. Classes are small and close and scheduled.
-Cleanliness is... - unorganization is unsightly - tidyed up the hotel room and made friend fix her closet - ahh!
