What makes a Marine run?

How about: Four one-dollar mystery meat shwarmas from a street stand with no refrigeration, extra on the red peppers and garlic sauce.

That would make most Marines run I think. Either at the fourth point of contact or in the opposite direction, a meal like that would for sure get your average Marine running.

Easy.

Chow call.

To be truthful....back in the old Corps when I was in, the chow was suspect at best. There was plenty of it, but no imagination from the cooks. It was far worse in overseas duty stations...so the local snack bars usually did a brisk business.

Aboard ship, the chow was really good...my hats off to those navy cooks...they really put together great menus at sea. Mid-Rats was the best, so I always volunteered for late night fire watch. You had to have some sort of official reason to gain entry to Mid-Rats, especially if you were dressed in green.
