That’s how it was in 1969, when I got to the Escape and Evasion portion at Mother Rucker – otherwise known as Fort Rucker, Alabama. I had made it all the way to the last big test, Escape and Evasion (E&E). We were promised a field-cooked, fresh rabbit stew if we finished the evasion part of the course. It was the most delicious bowl of Rabbit Stew I have ever eaten. We knew that if we got captured, rabbit stew was the least of our hopes.
