David :
We only had four choices, food-wise, in the boonies...C-rats, LRRP rations ( very scarce..not like MREs..just add hot water..were good...I traded with some ARVNs for these from time to time...), hot food flown out from time to time ( quality varied a great deal ), and every now and then, the adventurous would go native and eat Vietnamese food...some folks got real sick though...The food at the base camps wasn't bad. We would have steaks, hamburgers, and such on stand downs, altho we didn't have many of those. I got to where I liked C-rats. Being in a Mech unit, we could carry 8-10 cases at any given time, so everybody got whatever they wanted. There was plenty of fruit, pound cake, various kinds of meat, etc...
The food that was flown out was not that great. It was hot, and was a welcome change. The milk was good. The cook always burned the coffee...LOL
