It was still edible, surprisingly, but definitely didn't look like it. The best way to describe it was "Solidified rectangle of off-white paste." Yeah, thats just what it looks like. It tastes like regret.

AnonSpore posted:I can only assume "or something" was added so that some soldiers wouldn't go like "gently caress no rocks around, only logs, and I'm starving, I'm so screwed" That was the running joke when we did our field ops.

TotalLossBrain posted:What we have here is technical writing for the lowest common denominator. The airplane I used to work on had a couple huge electric motors, including this 84hp beast that was used to real in literal tons of wire. The instructions on removing it and replacing it included a line that said "Make sure its turned off and the circuit breakers are tagged." at least 4 or so times. It had 6 lug nuts each one with 124vac sitting on it if you didn't have it tagged. The best MAF I ever saw was forwarded by a pilot while we were deployed and it simply stated "Radio inoperable at On Full Force". =(

Force de Fappe posted:The hot sauce adds morale, as does the candy. Like a shred of tangible evidence that you once were a civilized human being who stood erect and wore clean clothes. I think towards the end of my last deployment hot sauce was traded with more than cans of dip. A full bottle of Texas Pete could buy you endless favors of any nature.
