MILITARY SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

@"Ninurta" 

Yeah, I used to love the canned fruit in C rations.

LRRP rations were very dry, drier than MREs.  They needed water for sure.  Cut back on one thing and another requirement increases, it seems.

Also liked when the C-rats had cigarettes.  Being a non-smoker, they made for good trading.  Some were very careful about their rations, making sure the "green eggs and ham" were available for breakfast (smiling).

I did a tiny bit of patrol training.  Amazing at night how someone can walk right by and not realize someone else is there.  Not so amazing was almost getting trampled by cows when we wandered into a pasture and spooked the herd into a stampede.  

Cheers
