What constitutes being "old school" in the military?

fixed bayonets and P38s

Back in the '60's I asked the LtCol who was my NROTC MOI, "Colonel, when did the 'Old Corps' end and the 'New Corps' begin?" His response was that it depended on when you entered the Corps, for every Marine, the 'Old Corps' ended the day they joined.

Old school is anyone who came in one day after you did. THAT makes you old school.

Not using the phrase "old school" would be the guys I say are over that line.

That depends on when you served I guess. I came in 1990 and people who served in the 80's said, the 90s navy was too wishy washy. I'm sure the people in the 70's said the same thing about the 80's and before and before that and before that!!!.....That "Old School" is crap and was probably just before you served.

If you ever were an ONTOS crewman!!!

All of the above and then some

My response is related to the influx of computer technology into my old AF career field. The dependence on what computers can or have the capability to do has resulted, IMO, in a job force of clerks rather than career field technicians. For me, "old school" is being able to take the data we are given, analyze it per rules and practices and arrive at a decision process that produces a product of value to the customer. The way "we used to do it" and the way it is done now may produce the same physical product, but the knowledge to educate the customer about the product is severely lacking.

Just out of curiosity why is SSG before your name and you have most as 11B2P it should be 11B3P, just wondering

I don't know...im too old school to get wrapped up into that. Semper FI
