mmmmmfatty, salty snacks...

Which reminds me - I need to stock up on pretzels...

Be careful, pretzels can be dangerous. No one thinks it will happen to
them. You start out with pretzels and before you know it you have moved
onto pizza.

Costco pizza. Yum!

like them......

SOS, grits, and powdered milk. An all white breakfast. Chase it down with
chicory coffee blend. Makes you want to re-up just for the gourmet food.

Ever have mystery meat in the CRATS?

Freakin' awful. I swear this is true - we were on an op up near Hue
and the CRATS they gave us were from the Korean War.

I have a package of Lucky Strikes in the green package that came with
one set of CRATS - those are from WWII. :)

Kids today have it too good I tell 'ya. :)

I will say this for the Squids - they had some decent food. Never
forget an R&R at Cam Rahn - real roast beef, real mashed potatoes,
real veggies and honest to god real blueberry pie with vanilla ice
cream.

Don't tell the Squids in here that I said that - ruin my upstanding
reputation. :)

for pictures.

Nope. Cam Rahn and Sydney, AU with a guy from the Aussie SAS whose
family owned a cattle ranch.

And when I say ranch, I mean an area the size of Wyoming kind of
ranch.

Amazing place Australia.

I really hate to admit this, but I had a fondness for dehydrated eggs.

Don't ask me why - I loved the damn things.

I will admit that combat rations today are much better than they used
to be. In particular the vegetarian meal - it's really pretty good.
Just recently, I had the veggie/cheese omelet - that wasn't half bad
either.

C-rations. Navy beans and ham, hot or cold, with tobasco. Can't beat it
with a stick.

We had to beat 'em with a stick to soften the damn things up. :)
