INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION IN THE CIVIL-MILITARY ENVIRONMENT (RULES OF MILITARY COURTESY)
Abstract
Military courtesy consists of a set of rules meant to facilitate and harmonize the relationships between individuals belonging to military communities. It also represents the ties which unite them, namely the courtesy
and mutual respect. The rules of military courtesy are simple. Each military needs to know and apply them. They are constantly compelled to behave as living examples of modesty, temperance, and high education, they are meant to defend their dignity and to respect the dignity of others. Judging the behavior of the military means not only an evaluation of their conduct, but also of the honor of the Armed Forces as a whole.
An article about the basic rules of military courtesy is always welcomed, as it may be addressed to young officers, non-commissioned officers or other categories of military personnel who make the first step on the way of their careers. Never could we say enough about the importance of the first impression on the way we are perceived as persons and professionals.
Keywords: military courtesy; rules; greetings; behavior; dress code.
