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

[adin at frontier.net]

McDawg,
When I was on the big boat, training for the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club,  
we were forced to eat something - probably "sea-rations" ??I dunno.

Whatever it was, it was foul would make the newbies wolf cookies.   
I've eaten f disgusting items but none so foul, when i can remember  
her name I'll finish the story.
