When I was stationed in Okinawa, the military would dehydrate milk and ship it to Okinawa then rehydrate it using coconut oil. Eventually you got used to the taste.

Are they _still_ doing that? It was the same story then I was there in 1975. I remember flying out on a PanAm contract flight. As soon as we were cruising, the chief stewardess got on the 'com and said, “Guess what, everybody. We’ve got _real milk_ on board!” and they passed out half-pint cartons to everyone who wanted one. It was about 90%.
