Black paint or ‘Boot-Topping’?
If you ask military personnel, there isn’t much difference between boot-topping and boot paint. Actually, boot-topping is that black coating used between the deck and waterline. In addition, it has a liquidy and thick consistency and sulfur or lime is used in making it. Despite the fact that civilians wouldn’t even notice that boot-topping is different from black paint, an expert military eye will be able to spot the difference even when a mile away.

Quiet In Line
Those who have been in the military quietly stand in line and don’t make any ruckus because this one of the things they learn from basic training. As they wait for orders or before they go inside the mess hall, they stand in line in controlled silence. Therefore in civilian life, they also do the same thing as they wait for the bus or ATM.
