Customs and Discipline
Customs and discipline tests conduct: respect, obedience, punctuality, self-control and the everyday habits that make a unit trustworthy.
Customs
Salute seniors, address them by rank, stand when a senior enters, and keep dress and equipment correct. Punctuality is a courtesy and an order. Do not borrow or lend kit without permission.
Discipline
Obey lawful orders promptly. If an order is unlawful, refuse it clearly and report through the chain of command. Self-discipline means doing the right thing without being watched. Keep your weapon, kit and quarters secure.
Conduct
On leave, behave as a representative of the force. Do not drink on duty, fight, or absent yourself without leave. Report illness, absence and incidents honestly.
Worked example
You are ordered to do a task you believe is unfair but lawful. The reasoning: obey first, then seek redress through the chain of command. Do not argue in front of the squad.
Traps
Blindly obeying an unlawful order, arguing with a senior, going absent without leave, and treating discipline as fear. Discipline is consistent standards, not shouting.
