Yep, I guess it wasn’t really “liking” them as much as needing them, I got married in the Army and lived off base before the military started paying well, and c-rations also supplemented my wife and mines home diet.

Just like MREs, they don’t taste as good at home sitting on a couch, under electric lights and with wall to wall carpeting, as they do when you are burning up calories out in the field and sitting on a log.

October 28th, cold, 30 hours into an exersize. I ate cold spaghetti MRE, called CQ to have me roused in 2 hours (I had to cook the first hot breakfast of the ORI), and slept with a concrete curb for a pillow.

Good meal, good sleep, and the Col liked breakfast.

I'd speak harshly to someone for suggesting that I do that today.

The same way warm, sulfurous, irrigation well water, gulped out of a grimy plastic jug, with out even a thought of pausing to wipe the mouth of it before being the third guy to drink out of it, can be be a delicious beverage when you've been hauling hay, or water melons, in Texas in the summertime.
