5. I hated it when I was in the Army and it was a requirement.

Now that I'm out, I like making sure my dress shoes are nice and polished.

When I was in PA School, every once in a while, the student body would have to get dressed up for a certain occasion. We could always tell the veterans among us, because we were the ones who always had neatly polished shoes.

The non-military guys might wear a nice suit, and a great shirt and tie combo, but they seemd to be happy with dull black or brown shoes...
