Circa 1970, as a 16-year-old, I can remember going to the store to buy my mother a carton of Salems, which carton then cost a whole $3.10. Of course you can't buy a pack for that now. It's become quite an expensive habit. There was a line in Soylent Green, set in a world where everything has become very scarce and expensive, where Charlton Heston's character takes a drag from someone's cigarette and says, "If I had the money, I'd smoke two, three of these every day".

Yep. I don't remember a sign, though. I do remember that there was a place on base where you could buy little breakfast biscuits and sausages, and we used to go to class in the morning with these greasy paper bags filled with them. There was an Iranian Navy petty officer in my class, as we were training them in ASW; this would have been about 1975.

I remember. I graduated from AFTA in April 1975.
Remember the " Frank & Stein " lunches at the Navy Exchange?
I was there from December 73 to April 75. I was beginning to think STUDENT was a new rating.
AFUN-P school for two weeks
B E & E for a month
AV-A for 6 months
THEN AFTA for another 6 months.
Broken up with leave periods and awaiting a school class I was there just under 15 months.
Such is the life of a Rent-A-Crow.
...then we all had to grow up and get real jobs.

Itys smart to try them and see which ones you like as you can by some in cases where they are all the same this way you don't get stuck with a bunch that you dont care for that much.
I would use them on hunting and fishing trip. I really liked the chemical heater so I could have a hot lunch in the woods easy to pack in and out
