My 1st tour in RVN was spent almost entirely in the field and we were resupplied about once a week. C rats were it, peaches and beanie weenies were like gold. My 1st Thanksgiving a real dinner was flown in, by the time my platoon got to eat it was raining so hard that it washed the grub out of the tray. My next 2 tours in recon we lived on cold LRRPs and amphetamines in the field for 3-5 days at a time and had real chow when in the rear. I fantasized about food almost as often as I did sex.
