Thread: U.S. Mess Utensils- Knives

Being in the Navy on board a ship we only ate "C" rats once as part of an exercise. I know they had a bunch of them stored on board but thank God we never had to eat them but that once.
I had a friend who was in Korea in the thick of the fighting & he said you could always tell the old "C" rats because the Cig's. would sometimes burn up before you got 3 or 4 drags.
I never smoked & one time they rationed Cigs in the ship store so I made some money buying them for other guy's that needed them badly.
Late note I found my knife & it says OM 1953. Wonder if that was Ontario. For some reason my pictures wont down load from my phone The other side just has US on it. Weird but the OM 1953 is upside down from the U.S.
