True, but at least it is a better looking, more effective drain.

Hey, the plus side is, they actually are figuring it out. That's more than I would have given 'em credit for. It is better to piss money down the drain, realize your mistake, and correct said mistake, then to continue pissing money down said drain.

Hell if I know. I'm kinda glad he brought it up (though I wish he'd done so in a previous thread). I was wanting to share the info on the survey. Odd, a battalion commander taking the time to figure out what experienced soldiers think is best. What is this, [I]intelligence[/I]? In the [I]Army[/I]? My Lord, this is impossible!

Why would you want to do that? To feel like a noob again?

Although we've got 'Starbucks' up to our eyeballs, DON'T DRINK BRITISH COFFEE ! It's granulated and the coffee they put in our RatPacks is bitter.

I was spoiled by Italian coffee in Kosovo back in 2000. 'Espresso mi amico ?' Grazie !

The legendary English breakfast. Well, there are some who believe it's tea and toasted muffins with jam but for the squaddie...
Pork sausage, Bacon, fried egg, fried bread, tinned plum tomatoes, black pudding (a slice of blood sausage), heinz baked beans, fried chopped mushrooms (I prefer grilled) and HP sauce. Plus a side dish of buttered toast all to be washed down with a large mug of hot, sweet tea ! An artery clogger !
I could go all day on that, well, to 1500hrs, then everything stops for tea ;-)

Hello mate !

Breakfast ? Don't do that unless I'm on an exercise.
1000hrs is tea and toast (buttered usually, sometimes with jam) in the Sgt's mess though. just enough food to keep the hunger at bay until lunch.
