50 years ago the unit I was in ate in the 168 Engineers mess hall with two generals. The guys on KP seated us, took orders and served our meals. We even had wine. Quite a change form the mess tent in the jungle or “C rations” we had eaten for 7 months.

Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all.

Last time I was at ISAF we were served Christmas dinner by our CO/XO, 4-star and 2-star generals. They wore Santa hats and served us baked ham.
