Nope.. Secretary of Health Joeseph Caliphano banned them for the C-Ration boxes and they haven’t been available ever since. That was during Jimm-EEEEEEE Car-DUHs administration.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

Connie, I am trying to find the old thread where I shared my Ramadi-style Beans, but I can’t pull it together!

[SandRat]

My daughter’s menagerie is fine but she sent me this little Canteen bit.

Really? I can see where they would come in very handy while camping, biking & hiking.

I may just have to try one for fun!

Do you have a fav?

[MEG33]

(((HUGS)))Ready for the “day” They’ve turned my days and nights around..Not to difficult with this night owl
;o)

[Old Sarge]

Nope - you buy and pack what you can.

Now me, for instance, my bag of pipe tobacco suits me just dandy!

[AZamericonnie]

Thank you for your service hoagy62!

"That makes me wonder.....does the military supply cigarettes these days?"

I have personally never smoked, but when I was stationed in Germany, I was given ration coupons which allowed me to purchase 4 cartons a month for $2.10 each. That is I think ten (or was it 20?) packs of cigarettes for 21 (?) cents per pack. I do not actually know how many packs are in a carton.

Back in 1980 the Germans were paying something like 10 times that much. Black marketing cigarettes was very lucrative for some of my comrades in arms. I was always being asked to share my ration coupons.

I never saw cigarettes included in meal kits.

[mylife]

I wonder if any of the old threads were lost in the numerous FR server crashes this past year?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Good evening Sandy!
Thanks for your help with the thread, and thank you for your service!

You caught 5 walleye in one day

That's another fun story, we we fishing at a giant culvert the flowed into the Wisconsin River. Everyone was using minnows so we bought minnows. I murdered mine, I had no clue how to put them on a hook so I impaled them in the head. After an hour of fishing, my reel broke so I got in our Scout, drove into town an bought a new reel.

There were at least 20 people fishing the spot that day and even after my break, I caught 5 of the 9 walleye caught at that spot that day.

Beginner's luck? I don't think so. The pros didn't know that you had to murder the minnows before they can become effective bait. Thanks for listening guys, it's one of those memories that stand out in your life forever and is fun to share. I will thank my brother-in-law for his service on your behalf. He loves this country.
