My uncle was a mess sergeant during two of his 8 years in the Army Air
Corps. He told that he was in the mess hall at 4:00 AM with the lights out,
opening eggs into a big pan. He had to do it in the dark because he didnt
want to see what he was smelling as he opened them. Needless to say he
never ate eggs after that.

He advised me to join the U.S.A.F. rather than be drafted. He said that
they and the Navy ate steak and ham, while the Army and Marines age C and K
rations. I took his advice and spent 20 in the Air Force. I honestly cant
remember getting a "bad meal". Now I look like it also.
