(note the handshake...:)
Let me take a guess-
You served in the military?
There is only one thing better in Scouting that being an Eagle Scout. That is being Assistant Scoutmaster, Troop 152, New River District, Blue Ridge Mountain Council, BSA.
APO?

Very cool, thank you for the picture.
Great photos!
The troop I was in was commanded, (literally) by a couple of retired Navy SeaBees and the outfit was run very milatary-like. We did uniform inspections, knew how to march, and when we did camp-outs, our tents were in line like they were laid out with a laser. We had all kinds of drills, had a bugler and the whole experience was great and much needed. Not sure if they do things in Scouting that way now?
The funny thing was when I was drafted during Viet Nam and joined the Navy, bootcamp was a breeze. In fact, I was one of the recuit company officers and after we graduated from boot, our company commander told me he always picked Boy Scouts for the recuit officer positions; said they always worked out the best.
