Same-same me most of the time as a grunt. The C-4 was alot faster than the heat tabs. Did the stove and saturated sand or dirt most of the time while on convoy security duty.

A buddy and I convinced an FNG that it was ALOT faster to heat an unopened can of beans and franks one time . He wasn't as dumb as he looked, though. We never got him to do it again .

Ron :

I believe by the time I got to Vietnam ( 1970 ), all the offending stuff above was not distributed to us ( 25th Div. ). Our platoon tracks might have went through many hundreds of these cases ( mechanized APCS ), and nobody got these. Will do some research.
