Hi all, I check in on the Canteen threads very rarely but I am very proud of all of you for keeping these threads going.

I want to share a funny yet sort of sad story with you. My brother-in-law did two tours in ‘Nam as a Marine and stayed in the Marine Reserves for years. He’s a great guy and is doing well.

Anyway, he gave us some K rations (is that the correct word?) for a camping trip we were taking. I was 5-6 months pregnant with our first child and we both decided we needed to quit smoking. We drove way up north in Wisconsin with our camping gear and no cigarettes.

Well, we opened the first package of the rations and ther was a 4-pack of Marlboros. We smoked them. We wemt fishing. By the time our trip was over we smoked more than we ate, we were opening all the rations for the smokes.

I’m not blaming the military, I find it funny, especially since we were opening the rations in advance for the cigarettes.

My son turned out fine, he’s 32, is 6’3” tall and teaches math and physics.

I don’t mean to bore you but it’s one of those memories that one never forgets. I caught 5 walleye in one day and my husband and I no longer smoke.

The food wasn’t too bad either.

[mylife]

It’s about time you got some time off!

[AZamericonnie]

Thanks for da blues acad! *Hugs*

We are still a dollar more per gallon for gas than in your neck of the woods.

Amazing to think of it going for under $2.00!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Thank you for your kind words, Jean!
Thanks too, for sharing your story!

[BIGLOOK]

I remember C-rats, never had a Mr E. There was a reason the carton containing Rats was opened from the bottom and dumped upside down on the ground before the troops stepped up to select one.

Aloha Sarge!

[AZamericonnie]
