1. There would be indirect hints about getting up at O Five Hundred (0500) (it's never 5 am) and doing 5 km with 100 push ups.
2. Going to a party was a parade. 2000 hrs means 1955 hrs. Right time, right kit (dress) and right place.

6. Expect Young Offrs to land up at your pad at odd hours demanding food. It won't happen frequently, but by God it will happen. Scrambled eggs are acceptable food. The youngsters will offer to help. Decline gracefully. These guys are like happy Bulls in a bonechina shop.

7. If you were sitting alone in a party (your husband is cracking jokes with his friends which NO ONE outside the fauji circle understands), expect a young officer to ask you for a dance. It's tradition and speaks of good breeding.
Psst He's been 'nudged' to do so!

8. When he meets your school and college friends, he will be very polite with the ladies. He will open doors and pull chairs. Chivalry is in his DNA. He was NOT flirting.
Nothing spl, That's just the way he has been trained.

10. He'll eat rice with a fork, unless it's a sitdown dinner. If rotis he will use the fork to shovel the dal or veggie on the roti. That's just how they eat.

11. He would eat at a dhaba if you so desire, but will maintain fauji table manners. He would "open" and "close" his plate. If he used a toothpick, he will cover his mouth with the other hand.
12. He would drink but never get drunk. His manners would always be impeccable.

13. Guderian, Rommel and Clausewitz are not his coursemates.
14. If he was with his coursemates, don't expect him to behave his age. They are the only competition you have in terms of attention or his bike.
15. He wont want to know what happened at the Ladies Club.

17. Though it depends on ethnicity of the tps he comds, don't be surprised if you are called "Sir" sometimes. No disrespect is meant.

18. He was probably the most secure man youve ever seen. He'll have very little self doubt. The ribbons he wears on his chest are the reason.

Now the bit that sets his a breed apart from the crowds:
19. He'd never use foul language in the presence of ladies. This is not to say that his "grammar" was not up to the mark. On the contrary, he probably a PhD in "language". But NEVER in the presence of ladies.

20. While he'd has enuf for u to get by, he's never gonna be rich. But if you count ur wealth by the extended family, tons of love, respect & loyalty, well youve married a guy richer than Bill Gates.
If he's alone in a room & looking happy, it's just him admiring his Raybans.
