Retreat
A bugle call sounded when the U. S. flag is being lowered at the end of the day. |

Retriever
A special tank designed as a sort of "wrecker" for tanks. What they are able to do is almost a miracle. |

A signal to awaken, get out of bed and begin the day. Often a bugle call, in boot camp more often the yells and screams of Drill Instructors and the sounds of GI cans crashing to the deck. |

Today's Field Trip: NAS Souda Bay
If you have a suggestion for a Field Trip - maybe a place where YOU have been stationed and would like to re-visit - PLEASE Freepmail it to starcmc!! Thanks!

a Please remember: the Canteen is a place to honor and entertain our troops. As such we attempt to keep it MOSTLY apolitical. Thanks for playing and have a nice day! LOL!!! |

Okie Dokie and Hello.
Really?
Good, bad or whatever kind of attention?
You don't have to answer that, you know I'm very nosy. ;-)
To: HiJinx
Roget that, HiJinx ~ it may have seemed like it because I was relaying a story about Montana.
Oregon has plenty of all makes and models.
It just happens that that the "F" series Ford pickup is the most sold vehicle in the US. :):)
I'm just an observer giving an account.

To: Bethbg79; Slings and Arrows
Slings and Arrows tried my coffee, and added this note and or addendum to the way I brew it:
"WARNING - Not to be taken internally!" - Slings and Arrows
In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it's a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse 'medium roast' that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn't age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
Be sure NOT to add creamora or coffeemate to the brew, unless you LIKE ranger pudding style heart racing.
When I brew that stuff for myself, I recirculate the stuff to brew a second time, but that's me for my own personal enjoyment, and it may wreck the coffeepot.
Don't forget the salt, it's important to the finished brew.

Dunno, but my attention was grabbed in one of those intense feline curiosity kind of ways: "What is that? What is that? What is that? OH NOO!!" *runs, hair on end.*
