I go to my local Taco Express (Stripes convenience store) for a breakfast taco which is bacon and egg with two extra strips of bacon. When the door chimes upon entry I can just hold up 1 or 2 fingers to the cook and proceed to my drink and condommints selection. Never "Off Course" wavering a bit now and then. From PBR in Nam to this Critter....... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Mid-Rats= Midnight Rations. Folks working nights between dinner and breakfast chance to eat. Menu of the day's left overs and breakfast. Typically the best meal of the day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny when a worker transfers to a new place and they recognize me still. Now the real concern would be has a recon mission been done for a Del Taco near your new digs? Is a four hundred mile run for a Del Taco fix out of the question? Or have you assigned a five hundred mile radius as the limit? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr "Allen Wrench" is covering thy name, like the Pic of the Boat, you just cannot quite see the name just up on the right hand side. Im not one for posting complete names on the Web. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And back in the days before they gave us piss tests...partaking in the smoking of marijuana was a routine thing...and sometimes...a man gets hungry. To this day, i could eat military food...at least the Coast Guard's...think i may have had lunch at Naval Base once...Went to Firefighting School on Treasure Island--they must have fed us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
