(If she asks Watt this question tomorrow, he's going to launch into a mega-lecture.) Carrie: *sigh* No, cadet, you were supposed to end it with "Thank you ma'am" that's what I meant [by "thank you what"], every time you engage in a conversation with an officer, you have to start with & end with "Ma'am" or "Sir". We're not talking about your vision here or what you see, what I'm talking about is where your eyes are supposed to face: straight. You have only one pair of eyes, & they are supposed to look straight ahead (but avoid eye contact with any officer), if you get what I mean. Pupils to the front. Iris to the front. The eyes (eyes=/=vision) should always look dead ahead. When given a command, you're not supposed to do it with question. And you're only supposed to give a straight reply. Do you get me? There's no need to mention your 360 vision, just reply with yes or no (as if TAPA is following this XD). Be thankful he ain't handling you now...

Ewen: *on the other side* Quit babbling, privates. Don't speak unless the officer gives you permission to. Suoq: Wait, I didn't ask you for anything, what's the "thank you ma'am" for? It was a figure of speech, by the way. It's part of the English grammar that dates back to-- nevermind. Also, I have more than one pair of eyes, but that's not important. Also, who set this stereotypical impression?
