Call Of Duty

Do you like playing Call of Duty? Well, your military friends probably do as well! There is one thing that makes you two different, however. They can tell exactly how unrealistic the game can be. You might see no problem with your character lugging around 6 rifles and a grenade launcher. However, they know this is impossible in real life.

Black paint or ‘Boot-Topping’?

Ask military personnel what the difference between boot paint and boot-topping is, and they will tell you that they are pretty similar. Nonetheless, boot-topping happens to be the black coating used between the deck and waterline. Made of sulfur or lime, it has a thick and liquid-like consistency. Civilians might not have the ability to distinguish between the two, but a soldier can figure it out. They can tell them apart even from a mile away!
