It was drummed into my head in BCT that you make sure all orders, records, etc. pertaining to you are correct, make sure your name is spelled correctly, rank and service number are correct, etc. Like making sure a hand receipt is filled out correctly and some isn't trying to pull a fast one.
I've noted that so many of these "professional" veterans are usually sad looking ones, all scruffy and ill kempt, with watery eyes that have seen the bottom of too many shot glasses, seeking sympathy for a hard life with tales of woe. And the mark of a poseur is that they always served in some elite unit, went on hazardous behind the lines missions, worked for some "hush-hush" organization, and their record are sealed by "The Agency." And are an incredible crack shot.
