Boots so shiny you can see your reflection. Shirts ironed with enough
starch they practically hang on their own in the closet. Hair high and
tight, or pulled back into a tidy bun.
These are just some of the trappings that come with life in the
military. And trust me, there are a lot more where they come from.
Like all codes of conduct, they're designed to teach discipline. But as
I've learned as a civilian, and especially through my work as a
performance consultant, there's more to it than that.
