[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3746602, member: 44288"] My cousin was a Navy Lt and had obtained his commission at the end of his graduation from OSU's veterinary school. Yes, he was a vet in the Navy in Vietnam. He was the meat inspector for all the troops in the Southeast Asiatic Theater. This duty sometimes included inspections of local eateries and as a gesture of goodwill, the local farmers. There were several stories he related to me. One was about the delicacy Nuoc Mam which was evidently made from fish dried on corrugated roofing, scraped off into barrels then blended and bottled. He said if you brought some of that into a bar and gave it to the owner you could have about anything in the bar including his wife. The second was about the local farmers always asking him to, "You come, you come, you come now, pig very sick". When he got to the farm the pigs were found to be sick because the ground was polluted. He instructed the farmer to make a bamboo platform to keep the pigs off of the ground and they had no more sick pigs. The funniest was while he was inspecting the eateries and bars he kept noticing the owners pointing out the small green stamps on their windows and mirrors. Upon closer inspection, they were indeed S and H Greenstamps. Apparently, some young enterprising GI had been getting inspection fees and handing these to the owners to proudly display on their windows as approval stickers from the USARMY Sanitation and Health.
