Phonetic Alphabet
Do you have any idea what “whiskey tango foxtrot” means? Well if you were a soldier then you would know that it stands for WTF! Soldiers have the tendency of spelling out things with the military phonetic alphabet. If you’re still not getting it, think about those army movies when the soldiers say things like, “alpha bravo charlie”… which actually just means ABC.
Short Showers
You might notice ex-soldiers having showers faster than a kid can gulp down a bag of candies, but why is this? In the military, showers are hardly a luxury; they are a necessity. So even if post-army showers can be as long as they like, these people shower with haste, just like they did during their service.
