When I was in the Army I was told to take all the food I wanted...but to leave nothing on the plate. Forty-six years later, I find that habit hard to break. On my first leave home, after dinner I had a 100% clean plate...but when I looked at my parent's and sister's plates, I noticed the uneaten shrimp tails. Funny...true or a late April Fool? |

Funny...true or a late April Fool? 100% true and if you don't believe me, ask my wife about my manners. I'm at the most, five pounds over-weight, but from the way I eat by all rights I should be 200 pounds over-weight. On our first date, when she got up to use the bathroom, I finished her meal. For some reason she went out with me again. I have three modes: working hard, eating or napping. |

I have some REALLY bad news for you about olives. I don't eat olive pits, and if the Army served them, they would not have expected us to eat the pits. Being in the Army /was/ the pits. |

Much to my surprise the food in the Army was damned good! As to beds. I got in just at the time they were getting rid of the WW-II era cots. I think we went from a 2" mattress to a four inch. Anyway, they worked us so hard we probably could have slept on broken glass/ |

Worked 'em so hard they didn't want anything but to collapse face down on a bunk bed, skip meals, phone calls and Sunday service. At least they where dressed when they woke up. Ready for work. Trust me, they hated the walkin' boss, John. |

I am pretty sure we were eating horse meat though. |
