Unwritten Laws of Lochemim

So, as my days of being a lochemet have increased i've become aware of a range of unwritten laws that everyone knows and obeys. They're so odd, and foreign that i just have to share. Basically we keep them because if we don't its Padicha (embarrasment).

1. Fighters never wear their Madim aleph jacket.  It's big and poofy, and no matter how cold it is, fighters do not wear it. On base however you wear your madim bet jacket no problem
2. Fighters always wear the sleeves of their madim aleph rolled up. Same rule applies as the jacket, no matter how cold; sleeves up.
3. Fighters don't put the two stripes on their uniform - that's for jobniks. In the army, there are stripes that you put on the side of your arms to show your rank. Two stripes means you've been in for a year and three is i think a year and a half. It's not very important the meaning, the important thing is fighters don't put the two stripes on....it's padicha.
4. Big bags are to be worn like they weigh nothing, preferably with only one strap. Definatly without doing up the hip strap.  no explanation needed.
5. Being a fighter gives you special permission to sleep on random people's shoulders on the bus. Ok, i made that one up, but the number of times a soldier has fallen asleep on my shoulder, woken up and said nothing is crazy.
