Kintail, I'm sure the 1SG would understand if you smacked the offender. All mine would have. I haven't had the flip done to me. Maybe because I'm rather big and cranky looking. I have had a few Soldiers try to get a peak by ducking low but quit once caught. You could always ask if he's trying to get a jump on the repeal of DADT. Personally, I don't respond well to people who violate the 36 inch rule.

Okay, first time I've heard that one. What in the world is the 36 inch rule?

Jake,

Lancer1562 got it. Considering the responses I've gotten from folks from other parts of the country I'd always thought it was more of a Southern thing. Given that in the Army there are people constantly inside that range, the same with big cities, I generally revise it to refer to people either intentionally getting inside that space or actually laying hands on me. Of course, people in your unit generally get a bit more leeway.

YMOS,
Tony
