Good old days. C-Rats weren't so great, and after a few weeks MREs aren't either. Last enlistment I was relegated to Services(cook) because of my hearing loss, so feeding troops was/is a big deal to me.

That said, one of the best meals I ever had was at 0300 in a cold October. Cold spaghetti MRE, followed by a nap with a curb for a pillow, up to make coffee at 0430 (make CQ write it down to wake you up). 36 hour days are for young men.

Yep.... Into my comfort these days. Lock down the casa for a perfect rest these days as a solid 8 is all I seek for myself each night.. Family and friends ask .....”but what if there’s an emergency and we need you?” .....

Taught em all how to shoot and scoot as all the rest is covered by 911 until Im awake and on the way the next day.

Rest easy troop.....:o)
