Okay...its because of the arraying of the torsion bars for the suspension system. To spacing of the torsion bars cause a slightly longer run along the left side of the vehicle causing a slightly longer track needed to ensure proper suspension.“Loyalty to country ALWAYS.

Gunny know what I was referring to.
The rubber bitch was the inflatable air mattress issued to US troops into the 1980s. It was a POS. The best use of it I used to see was when troops took it to the beach at Tybee Island.
Most experienced troops bought their own roll up foam mattress pad and used those. They became standard issue by around 1985-86.
Your up Gunny.

On C-Rat memory, nothing beat having a can of peaches and a can of pound cake. Fruit cocktail came close though.Comment

Since I despise peaches it ws not one I liked. But I could ALWAYS get good in trade.
I actually liked the Ham & Eggs as well as the Beef & Spice sauce. Either one with the cheese melted was awesome.
I also liked the Chocolate Nutroll...aka the Chocolate Butt Plug.
MREs were a HUGE downgrade to me.“Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.”

Spaghetti and meatballs, a can of peaches and a La Victoria jalopena if the mess section was anywhere to be found. That and a LOT of coffee was about all I required. Beef in Spice wasn't bad. Ham & Eggs?
