AS A FRESHMAN ROTC cadet, I took part in my first Army field-training exercise. After a long day of rock-climbing and rappelling, my platoon settled down for our C-rations. Hungry, we tore into our cardboard boxes, opening cans of "Chicken or Turkey, Boned," "Cheese Spread, Cheddar" and "Candy, Chocolate, With Nougat." Then we came upon a device wrapped in a small brown envelope, labeled: "Stimulant, Interdental" -- a wooden toothpick.
