We were at a Civil War reinactment in Virginia a few years ago and waiting in line for food when the woman in front of me, dressing for the period and carrying a basket instead of a purse, reached into said basket and pulled out her cell phone and started chatting. LOL
In my last duty assignment, I worked around an E7 and E8 - CPO and SCPO. The CPO was a Civil War Reenactor. He was talking about one weekend when he was participating in a faux battle and he was called by the duty crew. He said he had to go to his car and make some phone calls after that. The SCPO kidded him by saying he was cheating by calling down an air strike on the Southern forces.8-)
