BN S-4 NCOIC 'Big' Jim Brown would do anything for us and we'd do the same for him.

He once sent us a resupply bundle with rats and a request for Spring Water mid-way through a lonnnnnggggg UW FTX in Northern Arizona during crappy weather which had a case of Coors (two beers per man) that we drank before departing the DZ's RP area. We paid him back when we exfil'd. It was one of the biggest morale boosters I can recall.

Wonder if they'd do that today?
