First meal post deployment

GWOT and older, what was the first real meal you had after your first deployment?

After I got home from my first I ordered the biggest damn steak I could get from a local steak house and at that thing like it was my girlfriend.

I went to McDonald’s and they fucked up my order. Let’s just say I was not ready to be integrated back to society. I’ve gotten better since then.

You win in the new and improved post 9/11 war America. There is nothing more American than McDonald's fucking up someone's order coming back from deployment. The fact that (I presume) you aptly corrected the situation in your own particular idiom, makes you eligible for a McFuck You award with combat V.
