My Mother Taught me the importance of being on time in the army

When I was a young kid my mother told me that she was in the army before I was born.  I never would have guessed it, but soon learned some things about my mom that helped me understand why she is the way she is.  She was always talking about being on time, being neat, and always cleaning up after yourself.  While those are regular mom type things to say, she told me the importance of being on time in the army and why she is the way she is.  I think that is one of the best things that I learned from her.
