What constitutes being "old school" in the military?

In basic training , we lived in WW2 barracks. Two story wooden structures, opened bayed, hard wooden floors, large fans on each floor at both ends of the building. TI's office on first floor in center of building. The fire escape was a ladder at both ends of building. Laundry room in basement. Four latrines, two on first floor and like wise on second. Damned hot in the summer and damned cold in winter. Mail call usually held outside on drill pad or inside if it rained. Single beds were the main items with four sets of bunk beds nearest to the end of building. No standing lockers, just a wall rack for each bed and foot lockers at the foot/head of bed on the center aisle. Marched to training areas, chow hall and every where else. Technical school was pretty much the same but there were three man rooms. Some squadrons had thousand man dorms, others had three story dorms. Marched to training classes with a stop for raising of the colors, all year round. Classes were six hours long with lunch afterwards. Rest of day were squadron details. Inspections were every Friday and you best have pasted. Once you graduated from tech school you were given your first duty assignment in mass formation. Usually in base theater. Overseas asignments were passed out first. People going to Vietnam or the rest of Souteast Asia were given out first. All others had to wait. Orders, tickets and pay were also given out. After a period of leave, you reported to your departure base on either coast. Usually a one day lay over at that base, in open bay barracks, set up like basic training. Your flight out was at zero bright thirty in the morning. Before that you either slept or went loca sight-seeing, on base, in uniform. (Continued later)

Old School = If you ever ate "C" Rats, drove a Gamma-Goat or M-151 Gun Jeep, been to the woodline or seen someone go to the woodline with the Drill Sergeant, were issued khakis, cotton or polyester fatigues, issued white t-shirst for every day wear. That Georgia clay didn't come out of the t-shirts, ever!

Old school was marching in the rain to the range. GI Parties to get it ready for the IG inspection.

We did"t have Yellow PT shorts we did PT in our fatigues and combat boots that's old school.

I'd sat your St. wore brown boots, does it for me'

PT uniform was unbloused boots and the jacket tail pulled out in winter, Summer T-shirt with unbloused boots, Ate C-rations, Drove and road in deuce and a half, drove and rode in a Gamma Goat, Carried and shot M16A1, wore OD fatigues as my first Uniform. Loved my Khaki Uniform. BDU's were nice but liked Fatigues better, Found ACUs to be comfortable but did not see how they hide us at all, Multicams like them as well as my old Fatigues. Multicams were the Last uniform I wore. Also received EER's as SP5 and SSG not NCOERs.

Any who ate c-rations the one's with cigarettes in them to me is old school
