Some of the guys I work with were stationed at Ft. Rucker in UCLA (Ugly Corner of Lower Alabama) and they use to have turkey frys down there, and most of them have been retired for 15+ years. No clue how long ago they were at Rucker (since the military tends to move people around quiet a bit).

For the record, I didn't hear about them (or even consider the idea) until a couple of years ago when one of them invited me over for it..
