Ahh, MRE's.
Meal Refused by Ethopians. Meal Refused by Everybody, and other cute names. What fun they are! They pack, what, 3000 calories each as i recall?

Omlete with ham slice is the worst. infact, any egg course was gross cause it was invariably green in color..... like slime. I acutally LIKED the corn beef hash as long as i had tobasco. And nothing beat that first MRE S**t on a deployment. Usually about 3 to 4 days after you arrived. It took that long before you could have a sit down, and It was like giving birth to a cinder block.

Of course, y (video dated 1996, which was around my "era" of service.) Do the troops now days even get them anymore? Or did the powers that be take away the fun?

(Edit: ( I guess so! Good times! Glad to see the "tradition" continues! edit: Although leave it to the marines to use a canteen instead of a water bottle )
