And I remember SOS. As a kid I liked it.

SOS - without a doubt - one of the best meals in a chow hall..
PLUS - you knew if you were eating it - you were somewhere safe! NOT in the boonies!

I was once served a meal - very similar to SOS, in a Louisiana Gulf side restaurant that used dark gravy and larger chucks of salted meat over Rye toast with onions, carrots and celery and it was positively DELICIOUS.....

I spoke to the cook - an old Navy cook aboard submarines - and he said there is NO END to the variety that can build upon to make SOS more delicious that even the original....

I thought I would cry from joy, and the memories it rekindled.

I wonder if they STILL serve SOS in Chow Halls?
