Question a habit you carried over from the military [View all]

Me hot sauce on certain foods especially on eggs. At the unit mess hall in garrison or out in the field hot sauce now garrison chow was good just something about eggs spice them up.When we would get a hot breakfast out in the field pull the hot sauce out of fatigue pocket and spice up the powdered eggs.

The shittiest MRE ever created turkey and ham loaf yup I haven’t eaten in like a day so I’m gonna eat this shit in a bag add hot sauce. Only other option was to see if your bud in fighting position would wanna trade never happened.

Me- hey bro you wanna trade
Battle bud - fuck you man
Me - thinking huh I wonder if I beat him with my
rifle
butt yea nope visions of military prison barracks Leavenworth pull out the hot sauce for the turkey ham loaf
Battle buddy- Hey bro I’m out of Tabasco can I get some of yours for my beef stew.

Same for C-rats especially the ham and green beans hot sauce.

Going to the plt sgt’s house Christmas dinner eating a great meal of beef and kimchi prepared by his wife. Taking the first bite spicy no hot sauce needed as you guzzle a glass of water.

This morning I made eggs pancakes added Frank’s red hot to my eggs mixed everything on my plate with syrup. My son goes god dad that is disgusting.
