Is this still done at Fort Bragg, or maybe 'gator steaks in Florida? Would this help fund future ANA shows, (or are they officially called "No Shows?")

That would have been pretty cool!

General Order 53 referred to specifications for marksmanship competitions. Engraver Charles Barber was preparing new designs for the Army Ordnance Division.

What a great idea that was. I'll go one step further and suggest they could issue ammo by request to legal gun owners in order to support healthy suburban sprawl and a self sustaining lifestyle.

Do you mean something like:

"NRA Sponsors Feral Cat Hunt --- Bring your AK-47 and do something useful with it !"

Fresh food was a logistical problem into the early 20th century. Game meat would certainly have been appreciated by soldiers.

There was one of those near the university campus. Students went there if they weren't prepared for an exam. Certain menu items made people sick enough to get an excuse from the campus medical clinic.

I tried their food once, in Ontario, OR. Honestly, if their food consistently taste like what I had that day, I don't know why anyone would eat there.

Once while serving with the 3rd Armored in Germany I read a Playboy Magazine and in the middle there was a full page joke.  It was a family sitting around the dinner table and there was this bucket with the likeness of Colonel Sanders on it.  The bucket was filled with breaded and fried mice with the father dishing some out to the family.  I haven't eaten there since that.
