There is songs that take you back places and then there are smells. The smells during my first deployment for the most part aren't ones that I smell very often. From time to time, there is one smell that has stuck with me that I do run across from time to time.
I shared a small room with another female soldier. Some nights she would get food from the DFAC and bring it back to our room, but other nights she had a favorite meal that always made our room smell. For whatever reason, Cup O'Noodle was her favorite meal on nights she didn't get food from the DFAC. She would sit on her bed with that and some hot sauce and dinner was served.
I kept in touch with my roommate for quite a while after deployment and from time to time I will hear from her, but when you spend 15 months living in the same small room, it's funny some of the things that bring up some of the most off the wall memories.
