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

The term "Old School" is usually said by someone who's been in the Service long enough to witness a change in standards or policy, but doesn't agree with or want to comply with said change for example," Smoking a Soldier is considered hazing? Well, I'm an Old School
NCO. Back in the day my PSG made me push until he was tired. Today's Army is get too soft."

If you have been in the Navy longer than your newly reported Seaman has been alive, you're old school.

I guess if you could drink at lunch would qualify you as old school.

I would say, served at least a year prior to 2000. That puts you in Cold War times.
