    Yep, we used to get 12 individually paper wrapped in a case on C-Rations, that’s the smaller p38. I think every cook in before they were changed to MRE’s had at least a dozen. Those little things were strong enough to open the square 20lb cans of coffee grounds. Old tin cans twice as thick as vegetable cans are today...I know I opened many of them.
    Proud to have served with and supported the Units I was in: 1st IDF, 9th INF, 558th USAAG (Greece), 7th Transportation Brigade, 6th MEDSOM (Korea), III Corp, 8th IDF, 3rd Armor Div.

    Have had one on my key ring since 1988. Got it at Fort Polk, Louisiana during an AIT training.

    I still have the one I got in 1966 in Basic Training at Ft Dix. I stopped carrying it on my key chain when I took a gash out of my leg, climbing over a fence.

    Very Cool Post JD! Don't leave home without it right. I have seen them but never used one myself.

    I have both a P-38 and P-51 somewhere. Still work great if I can get my old arthritic hands to operate them!
