Military Etiquette
Have you ever heard the phrase “It’s always the simple things that count?”
Military etiquette is just that — the simple things translated into practicing good manners. Just saying “please” and “thank you” let people know their thoughts and efforts are appreciated.
Canceling appointments, such as medical, dental, with the MPF, or even at a beauty salon, in a timely fashion is a valuable trait. If you are going to be late for an appointment, call ahead instead of keeping others waiting. Although we are the most educated the Air Force has ever been, a little common sense can go a long way.
