As long as the Rum is Pussers Rum.
Used to supply the Brititish Navy.
So very much a Tactical drink.
Also Rose’s Lime Cordial.
They wanted the sailors to keep their teeth, as a last line of defence.
Or because the hard tack was so hard?not sure if it was important for sailors, too but intact (front) teeth were important in the muzzle loading era after paper cartridges became common (==as the soldiers had to bite them open), this lead to issues with troops during the sepoy mutiny as the soldiers believed the cartridges were treated with (holy) cow or (unclean) pig fat...
to get back on topic: "tacical" seems to be (just) a marketing strategy (like "made in america" -- i stopped counting how many times someone tried to sell me junk using this argument -- my reaction ranges from political incorrect replies, pointing at the "made in china" label to a basic history/ geography lesson before walking off... even here locals ask me if i'm from "america" even though there's only one case of a country and continent going by the same name AND this part of the world was already known as "america" 250years before some fellas chucked a few boxes of tea into boston harbour)
Everyone know where the name 5.11 comes from? Its a play on climbing ratings, the highest of which is 5.10.
Without wishing to be pedantic, the highest graded rock climbs in the U.S., from where this system comes, are currently up to 5.14, with subdivisions of 'a', 'b', 'c' and so on. I believe that '5.10' represented the top grade when Royal Robbins, who had some influence over the company before it went all 'tactical', was climbing; 5.11 was the aspiration, long since passed by climbers keen to push the grades.
Libraries and librarians still use the Dewey Decimal system.Did they intentionally mix it up? In most decimal systems after 5.9 comes 6, not 5.10! That is a numbering system not decimal; pedant off.
