Ranger and I were just talking about those last week. I showed him mine on my key chain and he grabbed his key chain and showed me his. You can open a can pretty darn fast with those.

keep one in each tackle box and glove box, you never know when you will need one.

I remember Marine chopper crews cutting C 4 up, lighting it and heating c rats on the parking apron at Da Nang. Used to tell them the USAF chow hall (galley to them) was open to all. Many were quite grateful for that info.
Ah, the memories that pop up with such little reminders!

My dad was career army '64 - '86 so we had a bunch of P-38s around when I was a kid. In fact when I first moved out on my own a p-38 was the only can opener I had. Whenever my dad would go "out in the field" he would always bring me C rations home especially when he was getting close to retirement because they were phasing out C rations and introducing MRE's.
