Do what I do, just dump them allllll into one cup, I generally use the hottest one that way it ends up a luke warm and I generally look for any dead insects as I'm pouring, never was a big mystery meat fan
I use Disposable cups so I throw them out and don't worry about drinking 5 day old coffee. Im thinking about getting a different color for each day so I don't get them mixed up.
My fist team was standing in the oh-dark breakfast chow line at Ft Drum, clear plastic cups lined up with two peaches in them right next to the trays and plastic ware. Fred was in front of me, grabbed his and shot them down, they were'nt peaches, they were raw eggs.
Lucky he was in front of me or it woulda been me....
LMAO recalling REFORGER 85 in a giant chow tent at Karlsruhe some dawg-dick placed several styro bowls w/spoons of white granular stuff... ajacent to the coffee urns. After finding a seat like 3 acres away, I got the saltiest cuppa joe I care to ever taste. OJ vs milk in the Total cereal was tame compared to that
Anymore I go by the creedo "when in doubt, check it out, or pass it by"
On long convoys we always grabbed snacks for the ride. Grabbed an apple during the night and took a big sour bite SOUR!!!! Flashed the dome light on just long enough to see the whole apple full of worms, tried to spit it out the closed window, tried to stop gagging and get control of my truck again. My co driver never woke up.
You guys would have liked this truck. 400+hp at 2200 rpm. top speed around 60. turbo diesel, flip the switch to lock the rear axles or the other way to lock all four axles, big ole t case lever that sometimes took a breaker bar to snap in to low. Can ford 48" with out adding anything. Dont flex well but you can carry a hummer in the back.
LOL those HMWTTs (or whatever they call em) are pretty cool. I remember at NTC/Ft Irwin was piloting my K5 Blazer down a washboard road and the combo of SWB and 3/4t springs was kicking our asses...pulled off the 'road' and was gettin it cross country, when one of those things came up that same road from behind, passed us out, and went off into the sunset. The CO and I were like "Damn!"
I had to haul fuel (in an old M54 5t) on that REFORGER...I'd have loved one of those in the tanker variant.
Nice, but the angle of the go pedal is a royal pia, comfy, dry, but my ankle would hurt for days afterwards after a 2 or 3 day convoy. They carry alot of stuff and the articulated crane in the back is great for loading cases of beer on pallets
Here's my beast/gypsy wagon. This is/was my actual tank back in 98 while stationed in Korea. (4/7 CAV)
While on the subject of coffee, my platoon nicknamed my tank "Skibucks" because I always had a cup or pot of coffee brewing as soon as we stopped. I got the whole platoon involved and we had some nice sit down AAR's (after action reviews) with flavored coffees, syrups, etc.
Those things are great. Used to stand behind them in Germany to dry the snow and water off us. Those rate among my favorite military sounds. M1's cranking in the morning on perimeter in the woods around you, M88 tank recovery vehicles coming down the road (funny feeling your insides shake as they roared by), 2 1/2 ton turbo whine/whistle
