Video Armed forces combat rations reviews

[AudieM249]

At the Mess, my username was Sloppy Joe. It was my favorite MRE (between that and spaghetti and meat-sauce), but it was also my nickname in my platoon (among many). My NCOs always use to comment on me during inspection. Everything was right, but I still looked liked a "Sloppy Joe". One of my last "on the line" memories is being able to cook MREs on the armor of our vehicles without a heater. Kind of want to retry one, but I like having the ability to defecate weekly.

He's no MRE Steve.

Edit, speeded it up to 1.5X to move it along...

Edit x 2 - A 24hr ration would take an hour to get through...

Only ones I ever had during my three years in were the German ones. I would rather cut off my dick then have another spoonful of "Grießspeise Florida".

I've never had this myself but from watching the Einmannpackung reviews, I can imagine that the supplier managed to ruin a perfectly fine dish like Grießbrei (cream of wheat or semolina pudding for you guys across the pond).

Steve is back just in time doing what he does best.

In Colombia, the rations that we use are the adaptation of the North American rations that came to us from the Korean War, of course, the current rations contain more local foods, such as suckling pig, tamales, noodles, beans or lentils with sausage. (which are part of the normal Colombian diet) in addition to bread, panela, coffee, a soft drink that you can dilute in water (known as "manchatripa" or gut stain)

But, there is nothing better for the Colombian military than eating their food prepared directly in the field, in the units they take a "specialist" called a "ranchero", who works as a cook for his companions, of course this responsibility changes every week a week among the members of the patrol, leaving aside the officer and the non-commissioned officer, in such a way that everyone must learn to cook.

he knows what the gut stain is, that's why he doesn't take it!
The ration looks very good, we just saw it with a Mr. Colonel with whom I work in my office and he says that it must be less expensive than the Colombian ration, but that it looks good and seems to have an excellent taste.

Came across a report about a medium scale exercise of the Dutch army in 1981. More specifically the "logistical requirements".

7000 troops, 14 days:
750 kegs of beer
25,000 cans of beer
5000 liter of spirits
12,000 liters of soda in bottles
15,000 cans of soda
10,000 sausages
20,000 packets of crisps
20,000 Mars/Nuts bars
100,000 packs of cigarettes, one per man per day.

I'm guessing they had the weekends off

Exercise Big Ferro in 1973 had 40,000 troops, the entire 1st NL Army Corps, in the Lüneburger Heath. Can't even imagine how many train loads that would take to provision.

The good ol' days
