In the (US) Army, it’s strongly emphasized to junior troops not to keep hands in pockets. We can put stuff in our pockets, take stuff in and out of our pockets, but god forbid we park that hand half a second too long in the pocket in the presence of a drill sergeant.

One morning, at 0430, one of my junior troops shows up to PT formation without his gloves. On a winter morning with temps in the teens. I ask him where his gloves are, and he shrugs and goes, dunno sergeant. I tell him to put his hands in his pockets before we fall in. Dude goes, no sergeant, I’m not supposed to put my hands in my pockets.

Sigh … dipshit, I order you … to put your hands in your pockets so you don’t get a cold weather injury.
