Boot in '75 we had C rats from before the Korean war. Still had the 4 packs of cigs in them. MRE = meals rejected by Ethiopia.

Took the grandkids camping and showed them how to open cans with a P38. Told them how on bivouac in boot camp the 2 most important things in the C rations was cigarettes and toilet paper and never lose your P38.
