Soren, I suspect it was a combination of the tired-ness, a change from the powdered eggs/milk/poop that they normally served on our boat after 2 weeks out (that was about the time that everything fresh that we had jam-packed into the boat ran out, and we began digging into the Korean War era powdered stuff). The first 2 weeks of a patrol were pretty good, good food, real milk, then it spiraled downhill to bug juice and powdered milk (of course always making sure to set aside enough bug juice to descale the Oxygen Generator as needed, really brings truth to those SNL spoofs of the Floor Cleaner/Dessert Topping stuff) And if we were lucky enough to pull into Holy Loch, or Belgium, none of that "Milk, Powdered, Mil-Spec 12534523423, 45lbs" crap, it was only brand name Cadbury chocolate, fresh milk, man-o-man...
Oops, sorry, I think I started to hijack here....
