A friend a infantry vet a teamster licking his spoon [View all]
A close friend former infantry he is 53 we have known each other probably 28 out of my 32 years as union freight hauler we rode Preston 151 and red star express into the ground as they went out business. He is a widower, we went thru benning like a year apart back in the 1980’s he is 53 I’m 52. Our sons love this mom and pop restaurant they do a buffet on Saturdays all day.
So my friend text and I told him we will be at the buffet around 1700, he replied cool I’ll meet you there . So after we eat it’s desert time and my friend hits the banana pudding with our boys.
And I watch him as he finished he’s licking his spoon clean I mentioned oh my definitely former infantry soldier you can always go and get more joking with him. Great guy trying to figure out life after his beautiful wife passed , I love him he is a true friend. But I found humor in him licking the last of the banana pudding off his spoon. It just reminded me of dudes in my rifle platoons sucking the cheese or meal out of the pack of MRE shit maybe I did it also.
