Message: [QUOTE="Zinethar, post: 3902723, member: 8436"] I was also in boot camp during the summer of '69 and had similar experiences. We were not allowed to watch TV until after the 5th week but one day we were required to go to the TV room. That was the day of the first moon landing! I still remember laughing when my then wife wanted to know why I was not getting a haircut before I left 🤣. The food didn't agree with me like it did for you and I lost 20 pounds in boot camp (back then I couldn't afford to lose that much). After that I was sent for electronics training on Governor's Island in NYC where the future chefs also had school. That food was outstanding. I had never had steak and potatoes (or grits) for breakfast before. The lobster boats got inspected every Friday so we had plenty of the rejects for dinner. [/QUOTE]
