[QUOTE="ratski, post: 1355691, member: 936"] Something about all these food storage threads has sparked a little memory from an Army exercise I was on many moons ago. We were in the field doing a mas casualty exercise. Lunch time came around. Out came the rations. C-rats. (yes, a while ago). It was during the transition between C-rat and MREs. Well, anyone that had experience with C-rats knows that they were packed in cans. Supposed to be one P-38 for each box of rations. P-38s seem to be one of the most prized possessions of a soldier at that time. Someone had gone thru the ration cases and removed ALL of the P-38s. There were very few of us that had one. I actually had my old boyscout pocket knife on me with a can opener and a P-38 on my dog tags (it is still there). I was one of the only guys that could help you get fed that day till the supply trucks came back out with can openers. So, the moral of the story is, if you have alot of canned food, make sure you have some manual can openers. Not electric!!! Dave [/QUOTE]
