Marine Corps 2007-2011. A lot of things in this game bug the shiv out of me.
The fact that cerberus troops(indoctrinated civilians) hold their smgs properly and shepard doesn't. The saluting alternating from the right hand to the left hand. YOU NEVER SALUTE WITH YOUR LEFT. This makes me want to ffffffffffffuuuuuuuu. Femshep also salutes with her thumb tucked in her palm, another no-no. Combat rolls? *tactical facepalm*

I'll have to play through again to nitpick more but, yeah more stuff irks you after you've served.....

lol I noticed many would salute without covers, and the guy walking around the Normandy that salutes you every time while indoors...yeah not real lol. Game is great but as a memeber of the military you tend to always nitpick games when it involves the military lol. It is kind of fun at times. 

Same here.  One thing that drives me crazy is whenever someone would salute, like Shepard to the higher ranking officer, Shep would never wait for the higher ranking officer to drop the salute, she'd just salute and drop it, sometimes before the other person even saluted.  Must be a special rule and when you use your left hand

One of the many other things that I have noticed too lol, you just cant help but to nit pick games like this that use the armed forces but like I said its fun at times.

We called the ship's Chief Boatswain's Mate "Boats."

And the Chief Gunners Mate "Guns" when we passed in the p-way.

But those were related to the job and the positon they held.

Yeah been in the Navy for going on 8 years in August and that would never happen, I have had really down to earth CO's in my squadron VFA 211 but not to the point where I would have a nickname for them nor would anyone else. Now other pilots and WSO's I would joke with them and we would make fun of each other and over seas go out drinking but not with the CO.

I had a family member fly with the Checkmates off the Kitty Hawk back in the 80's.

No crap? That's awesome, I came to the squadron in 04 when they had F14s and was a maintainer on the F18 SuperHornet. 

Yeah my Dad flew Tomcats out of NAS Miramar back in the day, Go Navy.

Thats pretty cool man, I was fourtunate enough to be able to watch the last 14s leave Oceana and they are def some of the sexiest aircrafts I have ever seen.

lol at your post! xD
I been in the military ye, we all had nicknames for eachother, and depending on what kind of person our CO was, you could call him by his nickname or make sure he didnt hear Differs from person to person, army to army and country to country i presume.

Edit: I was in the Belgiam army, 1st paratroopers & then armored recon.

I was never in the military, but a bigger mystery to me is how James can walk around Headquarters a muscle shirt, while everyone else appears to be fully uniformed. I've never seen members of the military walk around like that in a setting where they wouldn't be working out or doing some other physical task, and it doesn't look like anyone else there is doing PT. I mean, I haven't visted Washington DC in more than 10 years, but I'm pretty sure when I drove by the Pentagon everybody had a complete uniform on.

Maybe cuz hes always in the hangar? where i served we had a (armor) hangar too, where everybody was supposed to NOT wear your formal uniform.

[Joel2211]

In my Squadron we wore our Coveralls in the hangar bay when working on the jet and sometimes depending on the weather we were allowed to atleast pull the top down and stay in our white shirts but other than that I see what your saying about James.

None of the CO's I served with. I would have preferred Submariner instead of Surface after what I've heard, but I had a short enlistment before getting kicked out.

Sufficed to say, you'd have to have known the CO for a while, and even they would have to be down to earth, or circumstance.

Would you have called your CO "Loco" or "Lola"? 

To their face?


added:
Are there better nicknames for Shepard?

U.S. Army Active Duty Oct '89- Oct '92 honorably dischanged under medical  and a member of the DAV. And no...never called an NCO or CO loco (or any other insulting term).....to their faces.

[incinerator950]

As much as I like James, I can't help but feel he's out of place in almost a lot of aspects to uniform and jargon.

[moater boat]

I never really talked to my CO, but I don't think I used nicknames for any of the officers, at least not to their face.

As a Puerto Rican and a Vet..I find him somewhat insulting. Truth be told.
