Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 If my rememberer is right, (Forty Rod, feel free to correct me if it isn't), an "old" style C Rat cracker had 53 holes in it, while a "new" style had 51. An MRE cracker had 102. This info is 40 years old, so it might not be correct for the current MRE. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 (edited) I was curious about the first US aircraft carrier. It was USS Langley CV-1 a converted collier. XXX IS A COLLIER? I asked myself. It’s a coal hauling ship, which by 1920 or so we had no need. So USS Jupiter was converted to an aircraft carrier.   )))) I suppose some net nanny software changed my whiskey tango foxtrot to XXX. Edited November 6 by Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kloehr Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 (edited) 18 hours ago, Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 said: A bit, but a side note is worth sharing. Â The producers thought the special effects budget was per episode... No, that was for the entire season. So the first episode was edited down to be the opening credits/intro and old western sets, static sound stage rooms, Â and such were used after that. Â I do give the producers credit for actually "wrapping it up" rather than leaving yet another series with no conclusion to the story. This is the main reason the series is now a cult classic. Â Like what if Rockford was able to clear his name? Â And then there is the matter of the "bad guys" created the problem, but also created the solution to it. In spite of the efforts of the good guys to subvert this effort. Edited November 7 by John Kloehr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
