WHERE THE **** WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU SO MANY YEARS AGO!
You make me sad!
But seriously, when those two boats/the Navy sent those
to Johnson and Wales to learn how to better feed people on submarines (yes, they left as
!), my life improved handily. I'm sure Reagan almost had to raise taxes to pay for it because when these guys went shopping for a 90-day load-out, they didn't shop where the rest of the Navy shopped for a lot of the food. We had more chicken breast and broiled seafood than I ever dreamed possible! Now, lots of the veggies had to be frozen, but they sure did a great job once they thawed...
