What constitutes being "old school" in the military?

If you ever wore Spec 5 or 6, had a P38 on your dog tag chain and used it, used heat tabs, did PT in boots, wore your unit crest on your ball cap, got an EER, used a shelter half, had field pants, had a vending machine in the barracks that sold beer, had a metal wall locker, called the new private with BDUs the BN model, been to check point charlie, all the senior NCOs were hard ass Vietnam vets.

You ever polished jungle boot
You ever set up a tankers equipment for inspection....lol
Well i heard it when i was in

That line is "older than you". For sailors, I think having worn Dungarees as your working uniform is sufficiently "old school".

How the real military did things the right way,when I went to boot camp in 1983 there was timeouts if the DI got in your face and insulted your whole family including the family pet.I heard they change the way they do pushups called the modify pushup,I can go on for hours about the new Army but I still love the Army because it made me a better man!

been there, Done that, (Except the yellow P.T.shorts

Even tho I was Navy and not Army, I remember the P38 and c-rats. Try them for 15 days at battle stations in the summer in the Philippine Sea in after steering in a WWll tin can.

Starched OD fatigues with shined black boots for PT. Steel pot with liner.

Old school?? You mean the ORIGINAL School which built your New School.

Old school=> PT in fatigue pants, t-shirt and boots, eat c rations and K rations, wore baseball caps and had a unit pay office (in cash).

When you got paid in cash before les’s
