[DeTomaso] NPR P38's & P-51's - Question for the grunts

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

You don't think? 

Have any of you slackers ever had to eat C-rats? No, I didn't think so.

I have a bad gunshot scar on my shoulder. Its uglier then I am....The reason its so ugly is our team medic had to use a P38 to dig the bullet out. I'll finish the story when I can remember the rest of it. By then it should have got more interesting.

I don't think the beans and franks were the hated meal, it was the ham and limas.  It was widely believed that if you tossed a can of ham and limas to the kids along the sides of the road in Vietnam, they'd throw it back.

We used to call them John Waynes.  I grew up on SAC bases from 1967 to the 
early 1980s.  I will never forget the day when the base commissary was 
selling old C rats on pallets, each box of rats was .25 cents each.  I was a 
bag boy at the time and bought $10.00 worth of C rats and my dad flipped his 
lid when he saw them.

I'll never forget what happened when I opened a can of beans and franks at 
the dinning room table, Dad walked over and yelled "What the 
hell..........beans and MOTHERF***ERS????????"

He proceeded to throw the can into the back yard, beans exploded on the back 
fence and the dog was happy and content eating the bright red mess.

Dad was a Korean war vet and was a grunt in Vietnam before enlisting in the 
Airforce.  I deduced he had some bad memories associated with C rats, YA 
THINK?????  LOL

I went to basic in the MRE era (1985)and my 18 year old son is at Ft. 
Benning as I write this and is supposed to attend Air Assault and Airborne 
School and graduates late June.
