MILITARY TERMINOLOGIES

Military Discipline - it is the training that develops self control, character, and efficiency and as the result of such training implies subjection to control exerted for he good of the group. It is the state of order existing within a command. Military courtesy is the same thing except that the military man is so proud of his profession and has such high respect for the men who belong to it that in the Army courtesy is more carefully observed than in civil life. Military courtesy is a part of military discipline. The disciplined soldier is always courteous, whether on duty or off, whether to members of the military service or civilians. To help you in quickly becoming a well-disciplined and efficient member of your team, the following are some of the more common occasions on which you may have an opportunity to demonstrate your military courtesy. The rules are few and simple, but they have an important bearing on your career as a soldier. The military salute (see section 3) is the courteous recognition between members of the armed forces of your country. The salute is a privilege enjoyed by members of the military service in good standing; prisoners do not have the right to salute. Military leadership is the process of influencing others to accomplish the mission by providing purpose, direction, and motivation.
