can someone help me with a citation question Lets say i was a veteran soldier or maybe a mafia member and I'm writing a paper on the similarities of military or mafia lifestyle and tribal societies. Would I have to cite my own personal experience or can I just write it assertively? Example: Soldiers/Mafia members will go great lengths for their com padres to defend the name of their organization. They enjoy cooking and doing the dougie. Now would i need evidence for their hobbies or would my own personal experience be enough not to cite?

You only cite something if it doesn't belong to you, therefore you would not need a citation for your personal experience; those are your own words.
