I still have my original “P-38” from 1971. Since I didn’t smoke, I traded my Camel cigarettes for the small bottles of tobasco sauce. Allowed you to eat anything.<br>Remember the rice balls withe pieces of dried fish wrapped in banana leaves? You could eat on the run until you had time for a heated can of “sea rats” - C rations.

LOVED ham and mothas. Only meal that tasted like real food, cold or warm.<br><br>Contemplating my last meal - bacon, eggs, pancakes, grape kool-ade at Da Nang air base end of July1969 after two tours …. And BAM!!! Another fkin’ ad. <br>I’d do another two years on ham and mothas to go ten minutes without and

SOS. And we always have canned peaches or fruit cocktail for dessert. One of my favorite meals.
