This will give you some idea of the respect I received when in uniform:

Me (upon walking into the mess): Good Morning!
Unknown squaddie (without looking up from his newspaper): Piss off!
Me: I beg your pardon?
Unknown squaddie (looking up): Sorry! Piss off, sir!

Ahh, the camaraderie and cheerful banter of the average squaddie, whistling a merry tune as he joyfully goes about his daily duties...

before i got fired from work center supervisor, i used to have to sneak in a 30 minute nap whenever i could get away with it. after about a week of being a zombie, i would say fuck everything today and just crawl into my rack for a good 20 hour nap. some emergency would always arise and my boss would come rack me out. he would pound on my rack repeating my name until i would wake up. i would crack my curtain ever so slightly, and stick my middle finger out. he would laugh, realize i needed some sleep, and walk away.
