Authenticity and Conduct Guidelines for WW2 Encampments
While in the military camp, military customs and courtesies apply, i.e.: saluting officers, addressing non commissioned officers properly, and striving for a "first person experience". Also conducting yourself properly and respectfully, remember whom we are representing!
LIVING HISTORY DEMONSTRATIONS: There will be an itinerary which schedules time for colors, drill, & manual of arms.
Uniforms will be worn properly per WW2 military regulation, i.e.: wools and airborne jumpsuits washed/cleaned, (not necessarily spotless, they ARE combat uniforms after all), also washed leggings, wool shirts to be worn under jump jackets, khaki ties to be worn, boots/shoes shined (obvious exception is roughouts).
HAIRCUTS per military regulation, tapered OFF OF THE EARS and Back of the neck! No sideburns. Also must be clean-shaven, including no mustaches. If you must wear one it must be thin, not touching the top of the upper lip and must not extend past the corners of the mouth! We are soldiers, not a gaggle.
No cell phones VISIBLE or AUDIBLE. If you feel you must have your cell phone with you, use it OUTSIDE the military encampment!
Period tents/shelters in military camp only, no exceptions.
Keep farby, non authentic items out of site, i.e.: trash, modern soda containers, bottled water, food items, etc... Drink from period containers and use mess kits.
Final say on authenticity will rest with your CO and XO.
