..Oh and MRE's.....Check this shit out...the only MRE's ive seen are for the guys that head out on convoys ..or like on our acft for E&E....so they dont get touched... so i went to the supply room and asked....cause usually there is some room that supply guys have that is stacked full of mre's...they looked at me in shock and disbelief....MR..what?? we anit got none of those....im like your kidding right? nope so i went out to do a little research and come to find out almost60-70% of army units DO NOT carry MRE's...WTF!!!!

Yeah, there's definitely some good microwaveable stuff out nowadays. It's kinda shocking.

And how can you be a military unit and not have MRE's handy? I mean, I understand the airforce not having any, because they all have those delicate palates and such...but seriously? Maybe I was just lucky to deploy as part of a support unit, but we had stacks of MRE's. Every truck had a box on it, and we all carried random bits from 2 or 3 of them on us on missions.

oh and by the way....

WAR EAGLE!!!! BCS CHAMPS!!!!!!!

[saviger]

Lol I'm truly baffled on how you can't get MREs.... why aren't they requried? We had to have at least 1 Case per stryker crewmember, just incase some shit goes down and we are in a fight for a couple of days

When I was in Iraq we had a never ending supply of MRE. I got so tired of eating them towards the end of the deployment they had trouble handing them out since noone wanted them.
