MREs for the win !

Had C rats 1st 4 or 5 weeks of basic july aug 83.
Then we got the new fangled MRE,s.

Actually more quantity of food in a MRE.
Which I know I appreciated at the time.
Still got my 1st C Rat P-38 and a original Harmony Church dog tag on my truck key ring.

Stupid things that mean something....



Went through 11b Basic Training in Ft. Benning, GA, Harmony Church in the summer of ‘88. Brutal, hard, and unpleasant, but one of the most awesome memories I have from my teenage years. We used to despise and ridicule the “wimps” that did the 13 week training in the air-conditioned barracks of the adjacent “Sand Hill”; (aka, “Sand Hilton”), lol! I wouldn’t trade those days/experiences for anything
