I used to carry a bottle of Louisiana Bull and Tabasco in one of my ammo
pouches.  I almost came to tears once when a clumsy 2LT (yes, a butter-fingered
butterbar) dropped a nearly full bottle and shattered it.

I was in the Army during the transition years from C-rats to MREs.  I preferred
the C-rats because those first-generation MREs were dehydrated nastiness, though
I did like the ham loaf on hardtack with hot sauce.
