- You go to a barbecue and insist that your family feed in a tactical chow line at five meter intervals.
- Before you hit the road on vacation you conduct rehearsals, backbriefs, PCI, and cover your convoy checklist.
- Your children clear their hand receipt and housing before they go to college.
- Your wife has more jumps than most LTs in the company.
- Your kids call the yard their MWR area.
- Your kids call their mother "Household 6."
