I've still got my first one from Basic in '67, put it on my dog-tag chain. It's still on my key-chain and I used it just a couple of weeks ago for something that the kitchen crank opener didn't work on. I wish I had kept them all...tough little suckers!

p.s.: C-rats...I liked the spaghetti cold. Go figure.

p.p.s.: I also hoarded all of my cigarettes and gum to trade/barter at a later date. The cigs got me out of fire-guard twice. The gum...not much of anything.
