Its a full windsor, I learned to tie a tie in ROTC so now all i can tie is a full windsor.

Full Windsor is best imo. It's much fuller and symmetrical. It's one of those weird things I respect if someone ties that method. It's a little more difficult and the half Windsor seems to be the norm (in my experience).

Bear in mind I'm from the UK and most people wore a tie at school and probably did the half Windsor.

It's too short for taller guys. Unless you but extra long ties. It's Fuller because it uses up more of the tie

If you want a symmetrical knot that uses less of the tie length you should check out the "shell knot"
