Navy coffee - ok, I'll give it to the Squids - they could make a good

Navy coffee and slice of apple pie. Â*Navy chow is the best - hands

Navy coffee sucked big time. Â*Apple pie? Â*What the hell is that?
Apple Brown Betty maybe - and it sucked. Â*Big time.
Now, cereal in the those little boxes was ok - once you let the
weevils float up and scooped them off. Â*Optional.

Vic, wern't those packed in their for a protien suppliment?


That's what I was told too. Never bought that.
But how the commissaryman convinced me to shut up about it was telling
me if I squawked too much he would have to throw ALL the cereal over
the side.
No way to tell which boxes had weevils.
Since that cereal was the best food on the ship, I shut up quick.

You hold the boxes up so the light's reflecting off the side and you
can see the holes where they got in.


Damn. He didn't tell me that.
