Thank you for the heads up. That's another thing I suppose I should work on prior to shipping, eh?

Not sure that you can.
We can make people stronger, faster, better shooters, foreign language speakers, technical experts, and better educated at a lot of things, but we cannot make people smarter, more ethical, or change their personalities.
Just my observation, but you seem to step into a situation with guns blazing and be inclined to open your mouth and smart off with people that you do not know (but should prior to talking). That will also get you in a bind with your fellow students and they will remember that on their peer reports. There is always someone watching.
Not saying that you can't try to change, but those habits you are displaying here will get you non-selected and/or booted off a team. I have known several guys who had very little team time and found their rucks in the hall with a note saying to report to the B Team.
Just my .02.
