Hell, I've got all that stuff in my basement, minus the C-rats.

Evidence of a misspent youth around a lot of veterans. I suppose one of these days I'll pass it along to someone who might actually want it.

Shelter halves? Would anyone believe that in about 1994 the battalion and brigade CSM's decided that it would be a good idea if we spent the 3-4 weeks of EIB train-up and testing living out at East Range in shelter halves eating with mess kits?

Someone was so psyched about it that they set fire to one of the porta-potties, setting off quite the s**t-storm, pardon the pun.

The only time I ever used either shelter half or mess kit, outside of basic training.
