Comment by Ken Spielvogel on July 2, 2014 at 12:43: Mine is a Camillus Air Force Survival Knife.

Comment by Howard P Reynolds on July 2, 2014 at 12:37: Thanks, Tobias. My AF Survival knife stays under the driver's seat of my truck, but it doesn't get much use since I always have a fixed blade on my belt.

Comment by Howard P Reynolds on June 13, 2014 at 20:41: Hahahahaha (REMF). I must have retired (2005) before POG gained widespread use.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 13, 2014 at 20:26: Howard in my day you would have been known as a REMF I think today the term is POG. Either way, your service was valuable to the nation!

Comment by Howard P Reynolds on June 13, 2014 at 16:56: I've been reluctant to comment on this topic since I almost always had A-Rations available, and sometimes B-Rations. While we were given C-Rations as a lark, and to have some empathy for the other half who were actually issued those rations, we were never issued them for real meals. I got my P-38 legally, but you could say I didn't actually earn it. Even for OIF we had civilian (foreign national) contract cooks - for a few months, but their contract ran out so we got pallets of MREs. But, just as we thought we would have to eat the same stuff as the riff raff, the commander figured out a way to get a mobile canteen for us, stocked with foreign national cooks. That isn't the half of it, but I am afraid to tell you the rest.
