Below is one of at least three youtube videos of my battalion (3/4) at this base.

What?  You had tents to sleep in and sandbags for protection...you probably had a mess hall and hot chow, too!!! subtlelaugh.gif

I remember switching from hot chow to C-rats and back again many times.  Do you remember what that did to your digestive system?  I'm still trying to forget! ;)
