Trivia questions..1. how many P38s were packed in each C-rat case? 2. What was, arguably, the favorite edible item in a C-rats box? (hint: its not the John Wayne bar) 3. What was included in the can with ham... as in "ham and xxx-xxx". What
year was the last contract date for genuine DLSA procured Cs? Breck. do you still have your orange switchblade...... err.... shroud cutter?
Yes, There wasn't much wrong with C-rations when you consider the circumstances. I have a p-38 around here somewhere.- Al

and it was attached using a 1 inch strip of 100 MPH tape. The "C" ration was an excellent ration and everyone like them which I assume is the reason for replacing it. Aircrew members had a special pocket on the side of their flight suit sleeve for an extra
spoon. Don't forget to save the "P38" and the AW paper.
Happy Easter
