As Easy As Tying Your Shoes
I was a drill sergeant in the US Army. The worst one was the 24-year-old male who didn’t know how to tie his boots. He had gotten through reception and pick up day by tightly lacing his boots and tucking the laces in.
As they would loosen up throughout the day, he would just pull them tight again, but never actually tie them.
The first Sunday I noticed his boots were barely staying on as he was marching back from dinner. I asked him what was wrong with them, as it’s common for privates to have the wrong size boots when they get to us.
Nope, he just didn’t know how to tie them. At all. Not a single knot. I spent an hour showing him how I tie my boots.
