Military culture is different than civilian culture. Recruits get prides and attitude of serving to nation. Their lifestyle, eating habit, and working environment disciplined and very less tolerance of mistake…
Do you belong to such family? What is your experience of their lifestyle? How do they distinct from civilian families and administration?

Re: Military Culture
Lets hear from others. My reply is I don’t have any connection with military. I just met them during NCC training and had few friends whose family members served the army in lower cadres.

This is very true, my grandad is an ex army colonel and he is very disciplined. He hates all sorts of disorderliness and keeps all our family in check. Not that we need to but I guess that comes from his army past and has embedded into his personality. Also my grandad has stopped a few robberies himself (as a retired colonel) by chasing after the person or using appropriate violence to stop it both in pakistan and here in the UK so like I said, it's part of his personality.
Re: Military Culture
My husband is ex-military. This was before we were married, so I don’t have much experience with that. However, as far as personality, I quite agree with VintageSpring. He does have a rather disciplined orderly quality. In addition to that, I’ve also noticed that he’s quite self reliant and does most things on his own (ie. food, laundry, and the like) rather than waiting to have someone do things.
On the downside, I’ve noticed a tendency to be a bit blunt and non-diplomatic. 
Oddly enough though, I’ve also heard some rather scandalous things in regards to military culture back home, so I was curious, if overall, military culture is that different from civilian life.
Re: Military Culture
Top brass of military may involve in scandalous things…
Re: Military Culture
According to my husband, it isn’t just top brass. Lol. 
Re: Military Culture
In India, we have this common perception that the military people are drinkers [irrespective of religion], hard headed, brainless but disciplined breed. no one in his/her right mind will pick panga with them.
we, the villagers, did pick a panga with them once and we won! :)
Re: Military Culture
Can't say anything about the military culture of Afghan Army, but Pakistan army is still the most established, most prestigious and most respectable institution in the country credited for producing characteristically strong characters and disciplined personalities. The top brass of Pakistani military is often collectively criticised for various political reasons, but Uniformed Man, regardless of his rank still commands generous and genuine respect within his community and entire neighbourhood.
Military culture in Pakistan is idealised. From my very personal experience, I have not found military families to be vastly different from urban upper middle class or lets say 'old money' civilian families. Yes the former may have stand out personality in the family, but their lifestyles can be exactly the same in so many ways.
Re: Military Culture
yes me belong to full fledge army , from my grand father to father to my fil, my nil, my couzns, my mamu, khalu everyone from army. my most of the friends are either married to army officers or they themselves are serving in army. I myself wanted to marry fauji but ALLAH has other plans for me :D
I myself went to army school for my whole life and when I started uni it was civilian , it took me a good 2 years to settle in uni. yes life is disciplined but I would not categorize it as army thing I have seen many civilians who are very punctual and disciplined. I love fauji cantt areas, the social circle, the fauji mess get togathers, eid Milan parties. the fauji code language, going to school in fauji container ( we army brats call it dhai ton). the pescom fun ( the fauji phone) and batman (every fauji bacha call them chacha) and literally he loves you like your own kid and cilivialns bachay they were like tum log apne servant ko chacha kyun kehtay ho uncle kyun nhi boltay lolz. pescom and batman are no longer provided my army.

Hehe. I was going to reply to that as well. The military men I know and have seen prefer (love) being served, in fact they 'order' it.
