A/N: work's keeping me busy and there's not a lot of JJ news, so my updates have been a bit sparse this week… until I started wondering if meal kits in the Korean army (or armies in Asian countries in general) come with chopsticks rather than the fold-together knife/spoon/fork combos. Anyone have any info on that?

The guys in our unit - especially the ones who have been here the longest and are coming towards the end of their stint - talk a lot about what they'll all do after they're done here. Immediately after and once they're properly settled back home.

Immediately after… well, there's a lot of drink involved.

Longer term, some have jobs to go back to. Others want to try their hands at something different or simply start over.

For myself, and even though I know I have a while to go yet, I've decided to come up with a way to make better field rations. That idea may well have been prompted by the last week's exercises, and I'll freely admit that. But whoever thought that field rations were even remotely edible hasn't had to survive on those things for a week.

Or maybe, once I'm out, I'll just buy up all the army rations and market them as diet food. That would work for a lot of people, I'm sure. You show me one of the dratted packs and I'm suddenly no longer hungry even if my stomach has been gnawing on my spine ten minutes earlier.

Come to think of it, seeing how many people are on a diet at any given time, I'm convinced the army is missing an amazing opportunity to make money. Maybe someone should tell them…
