What constitutes being "old school" in the military?

1969 - Boot Camp @ Great Lakes NTC = Wooden "temporary" barracks, dungarees, Marching & drill w/Springfield rifles, kakahi leggings, familiarized w/M-1 Garand. ++ Field Medical Service School Camp Lejeune = Starched cotton utilities (and your cover) - Small canvas WWII Field pack (w/"field transport" option - Spit shine leather boots - brasso - dura-glit - em-nu - "close order knuckle drills" - "If your pack is over 45 pounds you're carrying too much!" - 3-pouch "Unit One" (Corpsman Bag) - Steel canteens in "butt-beater" covers - Quals with M-14 - iron-on USMC insignia - Horseshoe rolls -
C-Rations - "Heat Tabs" - Glass I.V. bottles - Glass syringes w/re-usable needles - Camo Shelter-half tents. Plus much more, 'Kay? "Doc"

E 6 SFC's, E-5 SSGT's, MI Garands in BCT, AIT and the remainder of the TOD. WWII and Korean War Cadre.

What's an M16, I had an M14.
1SG regularly inspected the barracks. He always let me know when he was leaving to do since I was company clerk. At the end of the day I would go into my room and of course my bed would be tipped over. When bounced a nickel on my bed, it disappeared. Every Monday SOS for breakfast.

How about flying B-29's.

If you ever used C-4 to heat up your c-rations.....you're old school....

When I went in, in 1963 (California National Guard (7 years)) who rode in Duce and a halfs, drove M-48 A3s, had water buffaloes and Lister bags, M-1s, etc.. I guess we were old school. :-)

I guess since those from the Korea and WWII era are probably not paying attention to this, those of us from the Viet Nam era are probably old school and that can be defined as standing morning formation, as soon as top is done grounding your fatigue jacket, marching off to the PT field, doing the daily dozen, going for a run (varying distances), marching back to the formation area, securing your fatigue jacket, squaring it away and moving out to the mess hall for breakfast!!!

Doing things the right was the first time always.

Might "old school" also involve having used mimeograph correction fluid to remove ticks?
