You have leaked vital Top Secret Material. You will never be able to eat lunch, never mind get a drink, in Twenty-Nine Palms again if I have anything to say about it.

Say, you ain't CHICOM, are you? They have been trying to steal the Underwater Mess Kit for decades, the bastards.

Thankfully, Twenty-Nine Palms was a location where Uncle Sam's Misguided Children frequented, which I thereby avoided. Their chow was not generally up to our high culinary standards. Neither was drinking at 29Papa real big on my list of *to-do* items.

Sadly, the last time I told a young troop that I was going to $hi! in his messkit if his performance did not improve, I was met with a crosseyed blank stare...in this day of plastic bagged MREs. Most of the newbies haven't a clue about what a messkit- or messhall- is any more.
