Speaking of Team Spirit, I was the Embarkation clerk for the Squadron. We would bring huge crates (8'x4'x4') full of consumables- toilet paper, office supplies, whatever. After they were empty, I would charge to ship stuff back to Okinawa.

Had a platoon sergeant that would always stuff an extra duffel bag with civilian type toilet paper before every long FTX....then he would charge 5 bucks a roll and make a killing by the 3-4 day...by that time, the C-ration TP had rubbed your tail raw!
