Well, all I have to say is that while the soldiers are shooting their weapons, and the Air Force is dropping their bombs, and the Navy is shooting their missiles utterly destroying the enemy, I better not hear of any GI spitting on the ground!!!!

In a moment of complete befuddlement on a command level, we received a bunch of care packages once, after we returned from patrol. WTF was the catch phrase of the day then.

You know at my first assignment, every truck in my duty section had dip streaks running down the exterior door panels - on both the driver and passenger side. Kinda funny looking back on it now. If one was to line up stake bed trucks, you could tell who the engineers were, just look for the dip streaks from them spitting out the window constantly.

Chewing tobacco?! I thought they meant chip dip! Like Creamy Ranch Style -- that I can understand!

haha, so I was not the only one who had the association that the troops receive huge amounts of taco chips and nothing to dip them in!

I totally thought this thread was about French Onion, or for a very special occasion the wonderful Artichoke Heart, Spinach and Parmesan concoction over at our local int'l market.

Bit more to it, but this is good for the uninitiated.

http://www.cracked.com/funny-4374-dipping-tobacco/

Between Skoal, and Coppenhagen, is Kodiak i believe. I knew alot of guys who liked kodiak. Every brand has its fans, just like coffin nails. Some like malboro lights, others like reds. *shrug*

Of course there's chewing tabacco, which is different from snuff/dip. Chewing tabacco is the full leaves. Comes in a pouch, not a can. You can get a pretty good ball of chew going with it. Also makes you "juice" more too. Dip doesn't make you juice so much. At my worst, when i was off duty, id have a wad of redman (chewing tabacco) in one cheek, a beer in one hand, and a coffin nail in the other. Spit, drink, drag. In that order. I guess i was determined to **** myself up as best as i could with what was legal.
