What article from your military career would you put in the RallyPoint time capsule? TA-50, war trophies, souvenirs, etc. I'm starting with a dehydrated pork patty from the old dark brown MRE's. In 50 years, it will taste the same.

MAJ Robert (Bob) Petrarca my theory is that there is really only one fruit cake, and since no one eats it, it is passed around from person to person. lol

Packets may be easier, but the little bottles had more class

Right on, SFC(P) (Join to see), imagine what the 6 o'clock news would say, "Reflective belt turned deadly for one sailor hearing excessive SSG Robert Burns comments"

I think you have that headline wrong:

"Reflective belt saves sailor who attempted suicide. Belt given Medal of Honor, sailor being monitored."
