Never A Smooth Transition

Changing out from military to civilian life, there are many things to get used to when dealing with non-military. One of the biggest ones is the fact that civilians don't have the same concept of time when dealing with deadlines like military do. Where as any soldier would show up roughly 10 minutes before a meeting would start, civilians usually tool through the door anywhere from start time to 10 minutes after. Even if the meeting was how to live forever, people would still come walking, not hurrying mind you, walking through the door.
Then on my way to work this morning, I found myself battling with a pretty startling epiphany as I drove by the golf course at 7:30am:

"I bet those fuckers are early for tee time"
