9 VETERAN Habits I Kept From The Service That My Family Can't Explain

📕 HOLD THE HOUSE ($17): the daily habits that make a house hard to read, built into a 30-minute plan. Chapters 1 and 9. 👉 https://wadeguide.netlify.app Nine habits from the service that my wife, my son and my daughter have been asking about for eleven years, traced back to the field manuals they came from. 🧭 WHAT THIS IS Every one of these was drilled into me until it stopped being a rule and became a reflex, and every one of them has been noticed out loud by somebody in my house. Where a manual exists I name it by number. Where no manual exists I say so. Number nine is the one my wife made me stop, and it happened at Thanksgiving. You do not have to have served for any of this to be useful. The socks alone will save you a day. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 The plate my wife photographed 0:29 Nine habits, and the one she made me stop 1:09 Habit 1: four minutes, four corners 2:31 Habit 2: the bed a housekeeper refused to believe 3:59 Habit 3: 0430 and the cold thing in the garage 5:43 Habit 4: thirty inches, one-twenty, sixty-two 7:18 Habit 5: pockets like a tackle box 8:52 Habit 6: why thirst is late 10:18 Habit 7: two pairs of socks in the glove box 11:56 Habit 8: Mike Echo Romeo Romeo India Lima Lima 13:21 The one they did not let go 13:42 Habit 9: twenty-two people in a dark driveway 16:10 Which one did your family notice first 📖 THE MANUALS FM 21-10, Field Hygiene and Sanitation: the fluid replacement table and foot care (habits 6 and 7).
