What constitutes being "old school" in the military?

don't forget rations from ww2

In my case,basic with an M1 Garand,PT in fatigue pants and Brown combat boots.Trained to drive an M211 two and one half ton truck.Drove the gasoline engine M35 truck.Yes I know what a Gamma Goat is but I thought that was another boondoggle like the M151 Mutt series,AKA the mankiller.First enlistment 9 Jan 1957,Amarillo,Teaxs.Basic Battery A 10th Training Bn.

I'm a M-14 baby, with fish fins on my starch Utilities trousers.

Lol. If you did PT in combat boots, ate c rats and saved the cans for combat recycling used starch to get that strac look in your uniform , had the mosquito swarming around you from using the issue insect liquid and you know what K and L rations were , cuss better than a drunk sailor. Cadence calls were worse than cat calls. Smiled at the fact you could order shots of tequila at 17 in the e club...You might be old school

I wrote what I wrote. I ain't gonna change it....yellow nylon p.t.'s. I am sorry....

“Old School” is when the younger generation looks at something they’ve heard about and never learned. Looking at a few of the comments like “ wall to wall counseling”, Old school can be good and bad. Just depends on the perspective. It can also save your life.

Byron Skinner. Old school .qualifying in BCT with the M-14, qualifying in AIT with the M-14E2, humping an M-60 in Nam before Tet 1968, PT in fatigues, Combat Boots M-14 rifle at port arms and in Combat Boots. Drill Instructors kicking to slow recruits in the ass, blanket party’s, coming back from a day of training and finding all the bunks turned over and foot lockers dumped, aluminum canteens, deploying in a troop ship, M-38 1/4 ton vehicles, M-26A1 Grenades, CS Gas Grenades, ANPRC-25, M-113 Gas Burners in Combat, Boom de Boom 36, white name tags on fatigues, C-rats before the hand Meat Load and Spaghetti and Meatballs, ….etc.

before the M16 we trained with the M14....the best rifle ever made in my opinion....we only looked at the M16....never trained with it....

before the M16, we trained with the M14....(best rifle ever made in my opinion)….the M16 was shown to us, but we never had it in our possession.....

Not sure exactly what constitutes it however I do believe it was a time before safe spaces, troops allowed to bash the President on social media and the military paying for sex changes.
