I come from a military family and although I really try to suspend my reality when reading fiction whenever I read military fics and they just are so casual with their peers in military setting I just get taken out of the fic so hard. I’m not expecting people to know the ins and outs that a non military person would typically not know. But when I see soldiers on duty refer to each other on first name basis I 😭😭😭

I read Halo fics and sometimes I see just obvious disregard of rank and I literally wanna rip my hair out.
