I personally don't give a shit (also a vet). I speak steady, fluent profanity. Others might care. Like everything else, just gauge your audience.

AP1 is right. The key is gauging your audience.
But my god, it’s so nice when you find a relatable coworker that you finally can “speak freely” around. I hate mincing my words. Makes me stutter.

My SO doesn’t like it either. So I have been forced to clean it up. Now there is my masked self around my SO and my professional peers and my free speaking self, rich with unbridled cursing that my friends get to experience willingly or not 😂

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.
