SPAM thread
In 1988 the Air Force assigned me to RAF Greenham Common as a Communications-Electronics technician in the Ground Launched Cruise Missile system. We deployed Comm Relays for 10 days at a time. Just two of us, a K5 Blazer with comm equipment, and an M101 trailer with gear and supplies.
Now, not only were we Air Force, we were electronics, so we had the best of everything, including a Coleman stove. We were given oranges and a couple loads of bread and were allowed to take "reasonable" rations to go with the supplied MRE's.
Well...Spam was the go-to on each deployment!! We ate the crap out of fried Spam sandwiches.
Here's my augumentee (probably frying up some Spam) during a deployment. For anyone who notices, we reversed the trailer and dropped both tailgates, then used the "tarp bag" the camo netting is stored in to provide cover between the truck and trailer. We also put a tarp over the windshield and taped up all lights to prevent reflections. "aggressors" would attempt to find us day and night and we pulled out all the stops to make it hard on them.
