I swear a lot
When I was in the the Army ('68-'70) use of profanity seemed to be ingrained into life. Truly exceptional and original uses scored very high amongst the troops.

Then came civilian life and college and jobs and it seemed like I was the only one .. and I still let a few fly on occasion!

So how about you?
I think the survey covers the bases .. but let me know

Profanity has both a syntax and grammar so update your resume as needed

The military is definitely responsible for many habit-forming behaviors. Cursing is the most common. The worst thing I said before joining was "jerk." Nowadays when my blood boils, I refuse to talk because I know word vomit is about to happen. At that point, I might as well hand over my rank before speaking. lol

I find my cursing starts out high on the Monday after drill then tapers down to nearly none within 30 days, only to be reset by the next drill

Sounds like a classic decay curve to me!
I did BCT in Ft. Lewis in Dec / Jan.
That is one COLD place!
