I transferred to Travis in 1995 with the 6th, then went to the 70th ARS as a pilot in the reserves in 1999… I got out in 2011 after being a KC-10 pilot for 17 of my 22 years in the USAF…I miss the jet immensely, but not all the time on the road… My respects and admiration to all these guys/gals who still do this…

I think the MRE’s were pretty good, all things considered. They were so much better than the C rations we had when I first joined the Army in 1980. We would take the cans we wanted out of the packs and put them in green wool socks strapped to the outside of our rucksacks. That way they didn’t take up room inside the rucksack and they didn’t make noise.

The only rest you get is standing in line for the food, eating the food, and moving out. I'm not so sure about the resting part as that was not my experience. I remember in Alaska that by the time you got through the hot line for the food, it was cold before you could eat it. In our case, that tent was not present. Plus, you do not always get three meals as that depends on the unit mission.

It always irked me at the disconnect between what troops are fed and “vips”. I never thought of it before I served. It’s almost laughable.

the key in all of this is the middle eastern bread which im assuming is lebanese, lebanese bread makes the best bases for a military made pizza rather than the chain store bought supermarket bases, as they are much more tasty, crispy and less clunky than the traddional pre made pizza bases and thats why smith's dishes are so highly prized among his compatriots.
