[MRCA] H-250 Modification/Repair

[Tim]

Hi Jeep!
12 P-38's per case?  I forget.. (Fun Fact:  It takes 38 cuts with a P-38 to
open a C Rat can...)
Favorite edible?  Fruit Cocktail!
Ham and "Mo-Fo's"....even worse than "Fat Balls and Rubber Bands"
We were munching on C's up to around 1987 when the first MRE's showed up
(at least for us...),  Don't know how old they were at the time.

Erp!
