And lobster. Sometimes. When we'd hit a port, the commisary officer might
score a really good deal on fresh food, like steaks and lobsters. When we
were cruising, though, it was always "mystery meat". Still, given the
circumstances (at sea for weeks at a time), the food wasn't all that bad.

BTW, we were indeed wusses. But we were combat marines compared to the Air
Farce guys...
