I'm hearing/reading people saying "I'm old school, therefore..." So out of curiosity's sake, where is that ever-moving line?

How about coming ashore in landing craft on red beach 2 on 10/Apr/65. but wait ....thats not what makes you old school its wearing a flak jacket complete with what we called in the Corps as a diaper which was protection for your lower half held up by shoulder straps its the first thing we were able to lose with out having to pay for!

When your date of enlistment was BEFORE the date of birth of a young soldier just joining the unit, Then you're Old School. Also, I drove an M35A2. An M880 series, Gamma Goats, Goers, Short tube M109A1's. A gas powered M113 (not diesel)-That is old School. Does working on M1008 and M1009's qualify?

Someone is old school when they actually have tee shirts older than you are.
