Haha The Rat packs ive had are sick, doesnt make for good eating...

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Nov 25, 2005

They dont. They do have the right amount of calories to get you through the day and you can survive off of them but they taste like shit and I would not recommend them to anyone. I dont care how much you want to be in the army, you are out of your right mind to say you would rather eat MRE's than sandwiches. P38 Pilot ask anyone whos in the army and they will tell you that.

evangilder · Nov 25, 2005

Or the USAF, USMC or USN. MREs are disgusting. You can live on them, but they are not something I would prefer to sustain me. Blech!

I remember one op, I snuck in a bunch of PB&J sandwiches. I was the hero of the op and I wouldn't doubt that I could have sold one for $20. It wasn't worth selling them to me though. Seeing the guys enjoy something other than a bag-nasty was enough for me.

There was nothin' wrong with 50s compo sausages though. My dad brough loads back from the Gulf - they were lovely!

I did the same thing the last time we went to the field. I flew out a small footlocker with a camp stove. I also brought bread and peanut butter and jelly as well as soups and spam. Everytime I opened up my box people came wandering over. I should have set up shop and made some money.

evangilder · Nov 26, 2005

Yep, you probably could have too.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Nov 26, 2005

Same thing normally goes with cigarettes also.

lesofprimus · Nov 26, 2005

The one thing, well two things, that I carried with me, were granola bars and pop tarts.... I didnt like the bulk of an MRE...

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Nov 26, 2005

Neither did I. I also took a lot of pop tarts and granola bars. Oh and dont forget the trail mix. Great for snacking on and the beef jerkey!

evangilder · Nov 26, 2005

Those beef and cheese sticks that didn't require refrigeration were one of the things I carried, along with assorted nuts and M&Ms. I don't care much for trail mix, but will eat it if there's nothing else.

Go make a real sandwich, that is nutricious.

Well, i always make real sandwichs for school. I get tired off them alot! I would like to eat MREs instead off sandwichs everyday.

You obviously have not actually ate a real MRE. They taste like sh*t! The only thing they are good for is getting you through the day. Take it from someone who had to eat atleast one a day for a year. Man you really are confused.

Oh yes i freaking have! I think they are freaking delicious!!! I especially like the Beef Stew or The Pork Rinds or the Spaghetti and meatballs! I always ate them whenever we went turkey hunting or when just traveling in the woods!

evangilder · Nov 27, 2005

I guess there's one in every unit.

Nonskimmer · Nov 27, 2005

Huss may have something to say about this, but I've tried the Canadian equivalent of the MRE (I can't remember what we call them), and I didn't find them too bad. I don't know if I'd want to have to live on them everyday, but they weren't bad little meals really.

P38 Pilot · Nov 27, 2005

I don't know if I'd want to have to live on them everyday

I would!

lesofprimus · Nov 27, 2005

That's proof positive of 2 things....

First: You are absolutely out of ur mind..

Second: That you are DEFINATLY one hellova Redneck...

cheddar cheese · Nov 27, 2005

Ours are horrid...The treacle pudding is solid, the paté is runny and the ham and cheese pasta is all gristly...the Boiled sweets are the only decent things, dont even have kendal mint cakes any more...

They do not make Pork Rinds in real military MRE's.

Second if you really think they are good, then you have no idea what good food is, or are just entirely insane.

Negative, there is not a single one in my unit that thinks the things taste remotely good. When we were in Kosovo we traded them for the German MRE's because they actually tasted like real food. In Iraq we only ate them because we did not want to starve.

P38 Pilot · Nov 27, 2005

I know but i LIKE the MREs. I could live off these things! I really like them and there are some pretty good ones that you find. If you ask me, their probably better than K Rations that they used to serve.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Nov 27, 2005

The best ones believe it or not were the old C Rats. MRE's are just more easy to use.

You are insane P38 to like them and be able to live off of them.
