“Nothing smells like a Mess Hall - Uh, Dining Facility - Um, sorry DFAC - at breakfast time.”
Lol, so true. I narrowed that smell down to a combination of the hot maple syrup bin, sausage and last week’s steaks. Just smelling it adds two lb.s.
I don’t know why they cut breakfast since it’s usually people’s favorite. Maybe it had the highest transportation and support requirement.
If was the smell of the oven baked bacon whaffing through the early morning woods that allowed Recon elements to home in on the “important” targets on the big FTXs in the states during the 70’s and early 80’s.
The grunts out in the brush would be on combat rations - C’s or MRE’s - while the higher level staff would have the field kitchens working overtime.
