Something I've noticed about the Army Reserve culture... the rampant use of the word "f***k".
Sometimes I find it almost comical... there was a course instructor who always sounded like he was acting out that Robin Williams radio skit about the use of the "f" word. But it leads me to wonder... where does this come from?
When I joined, I found my language went all to sh** right away. I started swearing all the time, at home, at school, everywhere. It just rubbed-off on me. On my BMQ I realised that almost every second word out of everyone's mouth was "f**k", so I started making fun of it (making f**k literally every second word out of my mouth).
I had to make a serious effort to stop swearing so much. Actually, I make an effort now to stop swearing so much, even within the Army.
Is this a reserve phenomena? Or is it the same in the regular force? What about the Air Force and Navy?
I've never encountered it to such a ridiculous degree anywhere in the civilian world, and I'm just curious as to why it seems so different in the military. Maybe if I hung around a construction site or firehall for a day I'd notice the same thing...
