Quiet In Line
There are many things that soldiers learn during basic training that translates well to civilian life. For example, they have the ability to stand in line without making a ruckus. In fact, they remain quiet as they wait for their turn. They have learned to do this in basic training when they had to queue up for orders or to head inside the mess.
Checking Your Car
Discipline is another big thing in the military. An undisciplined soldier is no soldier at all. Military personnel need to inspect their vehicle before they go on a mission. It does not matter what the vehicle is, they will need to inspect it each time. This is something they take back to civilian life as well. They might no longer be in charge of a fighter jet, armored personnel, or helicopter, but they will apply this to their personal car.
