Entirely possible. We knew the risks of sneaking off post (especially since all four were MP's), and knew we could land in even more hot water than normal for getting involved.

I am pretty sure the bad guys never expected 4 MP's in full battle rattle to come around the corner when they began their intolerant acts. Like the master card commercial says; The looks on the bad guys faces...... Priceless

I go to the little Amish grocery store in a nearby small town for all sorts of preparedness foods. They have bulk wheat and rice and beans and spices, dried foods of all kinds, and even a lot of just-add-water mixes that they make up themselves from basics.

Of course, they also have fresh pork sausage and homemade donuts and bread and pies that are out of this world.
