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.

I have HUGE respect for the aviators who flew N.O.E. with nothing but a map!

CPT Jacob Swartout mentioned "M-NU and Brasso" on another thread. I'm still smiling.
