Call Of Duty

Playing Call of Duty is something that both civilians and soldiers enjoy. However, the difference is that soldiers know the game is very different from the real thing. In a game, it’s easy to carry a grenade launcher and six rifles. In real life, not so much.

Black paint or ‘Boot-Topping’?

Boot-topping and boot paint are basically the same regarding military personnel. Actually, boot-topping is applied between the deck of a boat and its waterline. What’s more, in making it, sulfur or lime is used. Its consistency is thick and liquidy as well. Civilians may never actually notice that boot-topping and black paint are different, but there is no fooling an expert military eye, even if it’s from a mile away.
