traits of a Roman legionary

[Primvs Pavlvs]

I think the idea of the common soldier wearing military equipment after his term of service would be a rare occurrence. How many soldiers today continue to wear combat boots on a daily basis? I know when my father retired from the military, he resented wearing anything that had to do with his service. He was glad he could return to wearing civillian clothing on a daily basis.

As I said earlier, if you have ever been around proffessional soldiers (non-REMF) you would know what I mean. They have a certain "air" that surrounds them. Its in their speech, their behavior, manners etc etc. Its not the Hollyweird ideal either.
