Hmmmmmm....my how times have changed.

Internet....remember the two month turn around on mail?

DVD's...remember the 35mm films that either were broken or had one missing reel?

Cookhouse....canned rations for months at a time cooked over small chunks of C4.

Showers....What showers? Plenty during Monsoon season!

Drink.....remember five year old Carling Black Label beer that has sat in the direct sunlight all that time?

Tents.....that is what Midnight Requistioning is all about.

Portaloos....remember burning cans of Poo every morning?

Sand.....what's a war without MUD?

Ice Cream? What in the heck is that?

Pizza Hut....only at the Air Force bases. (Pongo's not allowed)

Movers.....same in all Armies.
