Black paint or ‘Boot-Topping’?
If military personnel is asked, there is not much difference between boot paint and boot-topping. However, boot-topping is actually the black coating that’s lathered between the waterline and the deck. Also, its consistency is liquidy and thick and it is made of sulfur or lime. Even though civilians wouldn’t even notice that black paint is different from boot-topping, an expert military eye is able to see the difference even when they are a mile away.

Quiet In Line
When a military person stands in line, they’re pretty quiet and do not make any ruckus. This stems from the basic training that they get. They stand in lines waiting for orders or before going inside the mess hall and they do it in controlled silence. Thus, they also do it in civilian life while waiting for the ATM or a bus.
