I personally, have sworn a couple of time behind the drive station. Just an occasional da*n and sh*t. Has anyone ever gotten a penalty for doing that?
A link to a screenshot of T6 for a quick reference: http://imgur.com/a/OAjwH |
[Edit: sniped, but it all still looks valid] While I haven't been on a drive team, I don't think they're so much worried about vulgar expletives directed at your own performance as much as truly offensive comments directed at other people, such as other team members and field crew. IIRC, one of the featured speakers at CMP set the bar for "offensive language" due to pure vulgarity pretty high.
On the other hand, it never hurts to reign it in as much as you can. I work for the US Navy in a branch consisting largely of retired sailors. When I started with the group, one in particular couldn't string together ten words without using at least two words I wouldn't want my mother or grandmother to hear. We implemented a "fine jar" at our branch meetings, for offensive comments for a few years - 25 cents. The money went into a fund to buy lunch for the group at a pizza tavern or sports bar every few months where we did a good bit of bonding. We discontinued when we realized that the vulgarity was under control, and the fines were being willingly paid up front as license to kvetch. Our problematic retired chief now cusses freely (almost under his breath) in his cubicle at the computer, but is now presentable in public when the need arises. You can get it under control.
