Old EO Tech said:I will say that Rum Rations authorized by CO's/Comds are seemingly making a come back as are large "smokers". I took part in both this spring as part of Ex PR/MR, and frankly having served since the 80's, I never thought I'd see either....so things can change for the better.
How are rum rations and smokers coming back a change for the better?
I've been on 2-3 exercises that had smokers; while they were nice, I think most people would have been fine with waiting another couple days/another month until they were home if they wanted a drink. As always, there will be those people who get carried away with the drinking and vomit all over the place, and will be a write off for a portion of the next day.
But, without alcohol in the field, I guess we wouldn't get stories like a Cpl vomiting on a officer's bivvy bag/cot - No, that person wasn't me for those wondering
