dark brown bag ham slice
i am looking for one or two ham slices in the dark brown bag. i know that sounds crazy. i loved this meal while in the marines, and i would like to eat one and keep one as a nostalgic item. anyone have any? if so let me know your price. thanks.

Maybe not as crazy as you think. While I don't think it's crazy, some may find it a little odd, but I get cravings for SOS on occasion (but no flashbacks fortunately
.) Of course, for you young guys it's probably a delicacy nowadays from days past.

I remember the first time that I saw it in the public cafeteria on an open base. The first thought that came to my mind was "People actually pay money for that?" That was when I found out that it was no longer a regular menu item in the mess. One of my co-workers said "Hell, that's a delicacy now!"
My wife loves SOS when I make it. We minimize the impact of ingesting too much cholesterol over time by having a double portion each time I make it. ... which reminds me ... I ran across some old jars of chipped beef around here someplace the other day ... I don't think that stuff can go bad, even if you tried

sos was the one breakfast item that was passed over most in my years of eating at the mess hall. not by me though i loved it. but i can eat about anything. i recently took my father and son to beaufort sc. we went on base at the marine corps air station went to the messhall and had breakfast. that was a good experience and of course i had me some sos. so did my dad and he liked it as well. my son was not so much though.

SOS is a traditional food served in the US military, Chipped Beef on toast...
The G.I's call it 'shit on a Shingle', hence SOS !
When made properly, it's really good
I always mixed in a few hard boiled eggs to make it even better !!!
