The Chief cook loved us when we came in because we were asking for seconds etc. Everyone else beefed over the T-rats.

    Regiment has water buffalos and they got chlorinated. The really shit hot Regiments actually had chillers for the WB's.



    Not hijacked. Simply very thorough instruction.
    Was really crappy. And we loved it. Was better than what we got to hump around.

    That was "chocolate"? Damn. No wonder I thought it was just dirt-flavored goo. I'd eat anything that didn't come in a brown plastic pouch.

    All in all, I ate because I was hungry; it all really is a matter of perspective. Eating C-rats was better than rolling over a log and chowing down on grubs. These days, if you plop some C-rats and a steak down in front of me and told me to choose which to eat it sure as hell wont be the C-rats!

    I actually like c-rats. ME's? Nope. Starving was better.
