My picture would have looked like yours if I had one except for the stupid cap we had to wear and our gun was a Match grade .308 M1 Garand. 30 years later I still sling up without thinking about it the same way I did then inspite of the salesman trying to get me to try his sling using a modified hasty sling. I couldn't do it, my arm only knew how to get into a sling one way.
