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

And more old school still
Ate C-rations (especially heated over C-4) and learned how to avoid the unwanted meals (like ham and eggs), even when the carton was opened from the bottom
Had a copy of the Tabasco Charley Ration cookbook
Called your quarters a hootch and the local maid a mama san (even if she was Vietnamese)
Shaved in cold water in your steel pot, also useful for sitting when the ground was wet or muddy
Tried to get your AN/PRC-6 (walkie talkie) to work when you needed it
Know what a "slick" is

If you didn't wear woodland cammies in the USMC, you aren't old school.
