- You use your reeacting stuff in everyday life.
- Your gear stays in the car until the next event-- at least you always have a chair.
- The power has been out for three days but it doesn't matter, your wife can cook a full 3 course meal 3 times a day for 30 men without electricity.
- You've attempted to adjust your kepi, in "the real world" when you weren't even wearing a hat.
- Field-craft? You've mastered field-craft and now your working on port-o-potty-craft.
- You park the car at the supermarket and your wife says "Lock the doors, someone might steal my copy of Godey's."
- You sons are okay with wearing dresses.
- St. Patrick's Day means you don't have to feel weird for blasting your usual David Kincaid in the car.
- Your alarm clock plays reveille.
- You watch period films and documentaries just to point out people you know.
- You can spot another reenactor in regular life by their facial hair. You can probably even tell if he's a Yankee or a Reb.
- You can spot a zipper, snaps and stainless steel from a mile away.
- You've gotten used to the taste of rust and wax.
- You have an entirely different definition of the word 'clean' after sweating in your gear for three days.
- You know that REAL men are okay with spooning in the cold.
You might be a Civil War reenactor? :)
