My apologies to ZX9RCAM.ZX9RCAM never gets in a twist.........
Don't know about that, so far they all call me by my first name and welcome me in. *shrug*And you’ll get your ass smoked in the process
I'm guessing you're not prior service or haven't had the pleasure of consuming an MRE. They come with a heater pack - just add a bit of water and it heats the entrée and maybe even some liquid for a hot drink.Mre's require heating source and are expensive.
Or just eat them cold. Heating packs are just a morale booster.
... maybe even some liquid for a hot drink.
You would be guessing wrong but then again the ship had it's own chef. In the '60's our chef was good but the stores today are better as are the ships. Maybe my statement wasn't as clear as it should have been. What I meant was two statements. One MRE's are expensive relative to other meals and second the heat sources for other meals are expensive. So you need to see which one has the value.I'm guessing you're not prior service or haven't had the pleasure of consuming an MRE.

True. The tabasco bottles are the best morale booser, imho. That and the peanut butter + cocoa powder.

It's been a while, but I thought there was a warning not to drink the water from the heater.
You can never know how someone will read your statement.I'm guessing you're not prior service or haven't had the pleasure of consuming an MRE. They come with a heater pack - just add a bit of water and it heats the entrée and maybe even some liquid for a hot drink.
There's a meal + drink for about $1.25 and your MRE's are $4+. This was all I was getting at, but may be the plastic Jalapeno cheese is worth it.I usually pay about 50.00 a case for new MRE's, I won't go over 60.00. After several years of collecting and rotating canned foods, I've decide MRE's, 50lb bags of rice/beans, and freeze dried food works the best for us.
Mre's are a good immediate or traveling source of fast prepared food. We have our grown food and rice and beans for intermediate and freeze dried for long term.
I missed out on those fancy ones I guess.I'm guessing you're not prior service or haven't had the pleasure of consuming an MRE. They come with a heater pack - just add a bit of water and it heats the entrée and maybe even some liquid for a hot drink.
I think I ate a military field meal one time and remember the crackers and a small pack of 4?? cigarettes.I missed out on those fancy ones I guess.
In the late 80s ours didn’t have heaters or Tabasco
I remember those stale-assed crackers and jelly packs though....
In principle , MREs are about shoving as many calories down the pie hole of a fighting man while he is in a forward fighting position.
They were designed with maximum calories and a balance of protien and carbs. I vaguely recall a stick of gum maybe in there.
I hated the spaghetti, didn’t mind the beef and liked the pork patty pretty good.
Replacement for fossil fuels. That was the need for the creation of the global warming theory. It wasn't true but was to get people of fossil on to nuclear and public reaction killed it.
Then the grant money was so good they couldn't let the money dry up, so the story continued and we ended up with Gore's the earth is dying because of global warming The rest is history.

Guess I better remove my Winchester 77 from the Classified Ads then.I've been poor enough that the only meat for me and two children was shot. 15 years ago.
Squirrels, rabbit, deer. The rest was rice or noodles.
500 rds of 22lr will feed a family for months on end. That's if your next to a large chunk of woods. One small doe is enough meat for awhile. Longer then you'd think.
