No. I'm not. I have that file already. I'm talking about 3*5 note card sized recipe cards printed front and back with each Section of recipes being on a different color. You used to be able to get this as a boxed set. I have seen them ONCE and that was some years ago. But I know they were not homemade. And even that set was incomplete

HA! I have a set of those cards (1985) in my basement. I've been thinking of having a "mess hall" (aka: Dining Facility) dinner at my local American Legion for some time. Hopefully can do so after we can gather together in groups again.

I've not managed to find it. If you have the nsn that would be great. Then I can get supply to order them for me

It would be a lot easier to download the set and have your local VIOS print them to card stock

The only thing I've found is the file that prints on full 8 1/2*11 sheets of paper. This I already have. Was hoping the note card size was available but I'm not certain it even is.

WO1 (Join to see) you could ask the VIOS to print that to note card size. I remember reading years ago that they discontinued the note card size recipe cards and box.

What’s the form number? Have you check the Army Publications Directory?

Sir, I'm not aware of a form number for them. The pubs directly, to the best of my knowledge, only has the file that already have. The full-page recipe files. The ones I'm looking for are literally a box full of 3*5 recipe cards that at one time could be ordered. I suspected, and it seems to be confirmed, that these are no longer available.

Understood WO1 (Join to see). Guess is safe to say TM 10-412 supersede it!

Yes Sir. I just really liked those 3*5 cards. They didn't get ruined as easily as regular-paper printed recipes do. I suppose I'll print my own out on cardstock then.

WO1 (Join to see), you could make a pdf file -or whatever works - and take it to the post print shop and have them professionally made; based on your instructions. Have your Supply SGT use the unit’s purchase card.
