Military Bro's: Is this viable?

[DIVISION]

Yuk, after awhile they all start tasting the same too. I liked chicken with salsa, and beef stew when mixed with crackers. Whats with the cocca powder, lol. Like every fricken mre has got cocca powder? Nothing like hot chocolate in 150 degree weather.

I have the new vegetarian MRE's too!

Fig Newtons.....potato sticks, wheat bread.

MRE's are purfect for a starving ethiopian.....but not a soldier who needs to maintain muscle mass.

Supavamp, Bicepts and I are military.

MRE's are designed for soldiers in the field who have no access to real food.

They are not as nutritious as real food, and yes they have loads of preservatives in them......too much sodium too.

I have MRE's from active duty that I haven't even eaten.......they have a long shelf life.....I would keep them in my car if I was stranded somewhere, but that's about it.

yeap they're good for when you cant get food and thats it...

Eat a few MRE'S and you wont shit for week. There are one or two that taste decent and suprisingly they are the vegitarian meals, the rest just suck.

They still have that Orange cake lump of lead in them things?



I got out in '93, hopefully they've made some improvements. The Stroganoff was pretty good tho.

But as was said those things are loaded with simple carbs, quick energy for those on the hoof.

lol div, for Iraq, if you can get away with it, go buy yourself a sheep and fatten it up with some MREs and get a maintence company to weld you up a grill and bam, grilled sheep(I wouldn't be surprises if you could get charcoal at some px in Iraq or Kuwait)! MMMMM, I miss those grilled sheep. Hook up with Marines if your Army chain of comand won't let you do it. The fricken Marines are allowed to do anything they want.

Thanks and K to all for sharing experiences. I had figured that they might be high in preservatives, but I had no idea about all the simple carbs. I was just trying to think outside the box, but I sure am glad I checked with you bro's.
