It's idiot logic for old people to tell you how much of a dinosaur they are.

Yeah been there, done that, but ee did our PT in fatagues. I was never issued shorts in the Army, execpt for underpants. LOL

Old school to me is this...... Do your job. Do it well and don’t embarrass the uniform.

If old school is being issued sateen utilities, M14, living in the Quonset hut next to the grinder. After you graduate and go to ITR in a cattle car and being issued an M1. have a real serial number and not my Social Security number I guess I could qualify.

Every generation hears about old school. The Army is so easy these day the old timers will tell you, back when I first came in....... Todays private who stays in 20-30 years will be telling a young private about how easy they have it. You need to do it old school they would tell them. A never ending cycle.
