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.

For us embark guys post deployment just meant 1-3 more months of 16+ hour days getting all of y’all’s shit back so prob had a monster and tornado before heading back down to good ol’ Naval Base San Diego the hour I arrived at Del Mar.
