I started my last week of training at Fort Polk using the C Ration ones. They used to fly out cartons to us in the bush in Nam. The guys in the rear kept the good ones. The wife and I quit January 1st.

So disgusting. I wish I can see the day where the last cigarette was made and the factory went out of business. Moving from Colorado back to Arkansas, the number of people who smoke was a shock. I had been away for so long I didn't think much of it until I got back and smelled the disgusting smoke and saw people standing just feet outside of building to get a puff. That's the difference between a young and successful state and an old and impoverished state.

I can still remember smoke filled room commanders calls.
