Breakfast

Another thing I remember about boot camp was that when I got my appetite back after a few days in I found out they had Cocoa Puffs for breakfast. I latched onto those motherfuckers and ate them every morning religiously. I guess they offered a hint of normalcy, of the outside world we had left behind...it was either M*A*S*H-style powdered eggs with bacon and hash browns served with a side of patriotism and courage or....Cocoa Puffs. Man. Tough to picture Patton ordering up some Count Chocula, I would think.
