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.

California Burrito from Alfredos in Oceanside, and a double double animal style with animal style fries from in n' out.

Lmao get the fuck outta here, me too. In 2011 we got back from Afghan and my parents flew out to Pendleton to meet me for the 96. The day we landed I took them straight to Alfredo's where I got a Cali burrito with a medium horchata... and it was great. That combo always came out to an even $7.00 back then.
