Not really OUR generation. But the current generation.

Good point. That means if he comes within 200 yards of me, it is obviously malice aforethought.

Milk came in C Rations? I was reading the recipes on that nice yellow thing of recipes. At least two of them required milk. On the list of ingredients for the recipes, some had an * in front of them. And at the bottom of the recipe it said that stuff marked with an * were from a standard C ration.

Restraining order. Let's say there is a restraining order on me saying I cannot come within 200 yards of --- Hardpan (I like to pick on Hardpan). Knowing that I am not legally allowed to come within 200 yards of him, he comes closer than that to me. He violates the restraining order in an attempt to get me arrested, but since the order is on me and not on him, do I have any legal recourse?

At least it does answer a question I had. Every other uniform, that I am aware of, buttons with the standard buttoning. Men's coats and shirts button left over right, while women's coats and shirts button right over left. I wondered if they would do that with the diagonal roll buttons and then being on the side. Apparently not. The women all are buttoned the same way that men are - left over right on the right side.

When I first looked at that, I thought, "if you got good balance, that should work". Just ride that life preserver like a horse. But then I thought a little more and realized that if you lost your balance, and tipped over, you could not straighten back up. So I guess that is a bad plan.
