I know this sounds kinda sick...… but there are times I miss the taste of certain C rations. I have good memories of buddies and C rats.

Some were OK. It was the down time to eat them and the camaraderie...you're talking about.

The pound cake wasn't half bad when it was from the same century.

If it is a Civil War leftover, then it has antique value. Auction it!

When I ate them they still had 3-packs of cigarettes... I remember Chesterfields and Old Golds, I liked them both.

I had those in Ft Wainwright AK, Bear should remember those. Benson and Hedges 100s, Camel...thought they were fours though. I'm probably just remembering wrong.

You're so right about the down time and meal companions, Jim. They could make a meal out of anything.

[browningautorifle]

That's why soldiers make the best bums, they can sit around a fire eating whatever they've found, sharing smokes that almost gone and drinking coffee out of a tin can...and be happy.
