Try eating "SOS" on a DD that
is pitching and rolling, day after day, in heavy weather.

I hear the only good mess hall on a big east coast base is the one run by Marines. The rest are contracted out.

BTW, in my picture perfect sugar and spice childhood, I was served SOS many a night. While we thought the name was pretty neat,

I gagged every time LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try riding an amtrac after a greasy meal. Pukin became contagious. Got off the train in Sept. 54, to a whole new world, one I enjoyed so much that I stayed around till 76.
