Had plenty MRE's
C-Rats not so much
MREs for the win !
Had C rats 1st 4 or 5 weeks of basic july aug 83.
Then we got the new fangled MRE,s.
Actually more quantity of food in a MRE.
Which I know I appreciated at the time.
Still got my 1st C Rat P-38 and a original Harmony Church dog tag on my truck key ring.
Stupid things that mean something....
