I thought that drill and marching was supposed to teach you order and uniformity as well ah I guess that quote says that.
The thing that stuck with me to this day from basic was chewing. In the chow hall you where not supposed to get up from your seat while chewing food. They would flipout if you did.
I still think about that nearly every time I'm eating. So much so that on the rare occasion I do get up while chewing I stop and sit back down.
Another thing that has stuck is staying in step with the group I'm walking with. My wife has long since gotten used to this drilled OCD. My daughter not so much or maybe she walks off my pace for the fun of it.
Flipped up "Elvis" collars irritate me as well.
The Air Force is all about OCD level attention to detail. I never had such OCD behaviors as a kid. Now at a restaurant when I put the tray up I want stack them all neat and flush.
