Getting too relaxed is a really bad habit and one that is very had to break. Just like when you are promoted ahead of a friend, you have to enforce the rank stucture, you have to enforce it now. Trust me when I say that it is hard enough to rip someones ass for not obeying customs and curtisies, it only makes it harder if they saw you doing the same things 2 months before.
