Definition

Being squared away means having everything in order: your uniform is clean and pressed, your tasks are complete, your equipment is maintained, and you are where you are supposed to be, when you are supposed to be there. It's the opposite of 'ate-up.' A squared-away service member is one others want on their team — reliable, prepared, and professional.

In Dating & Relationships

Calling someone 'squared away' in the veteran community is a genuine compliment — it signals the kind of reliability and preparedness that military relationships depend on.
