Those aren’t the most elite forces fellas. I never did see a problem with them at altitude or decent. That's funny johnny .. Dont know how many times 5th group over my 3 tours at campbell would go thru our sqd, platoon, company live fire maneuver ranges to maintain their proficiency in basic battle drills and combined arms ops with arty and helo attack aviation. Hmmmm......

Sphagetti and rocks in the C rats were pretty good.
Beans and Frank's kinda.
Just wasnt enough calories or bulk of chow in a c rat to satisfy hunger for more than 2 or 3 hours.
I still got my 1st P38 from a C rat on my truck key ring.
One of my 2 original dog tags also.
Strange attachment to em I geuss.

Call me nuts...
But I used to like the dehydrated pork and beef patties.
Some times just stick one or 2 in my cargo pocket out training.
Eat em , chew em good , gulp some water from a canteen.
Hold it in my mouth for about 20 secs.
Swallow.
Repeat...
Keep on rolling doing whatever.
Sometimes ya just gotta eat when ya can when your on the move or a 50 50 security halt. You ate those dehydrated Mother F'ers? I would skip the meal if that is what I got. Now the ham slice was delicious with tobasco. I have eaten them at -20 and they weren't even froze. I would have no concerns eating a 20 year old one unless it looked funny or smelled worse than they normally do.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Surely you ain't gonna give away any national security stuff by just tossing us a bone for a clue. 👍👍👍👍

I would have no concerns eating a 20 year old one unless it looked funny or smelled worse than they normally do. Lol!!! Ate plenty of cold mre,s too. Worst probably up around Narvick in Norway training with them knuckle bunnies for 30 days in early winter 87. Tried their delicacy of fermented aged shark meat. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 Like eating a peice of rubber ammonia is the best way to describe it. Ate alot of cold Mre,s that 1st tour in Korea 4 months of foot patrolling on the DMZ. That fuuuking wind outta manchuria from late Nov thru early march. Cut right through you to the bone. Several times I had to call a brevity call in for a truck link up and evac from my squad laying in ambush at night for 3 to 4 hrs on the reverse slope of a ridge over watching valleys on the Z. One night I swear to god it snow about 18 inches on us in 2hrs in a ambush. Gotta take care of your Joe's Go down with frost bite or really bad exposure ain't good. Pretty serious stuff. Making that call just had to be done sometimes and either ouelette or collier would pick up the sector with their thermals or Pews systems while we were moving to a pick up on MSR 1. Can only begin to imagine the cold the marines went thru during the chosin reservoir withdrawal.

If I remember correctly, the cases have a temperature indicator gizmo that shows that they haven't been stored at excessive temps. The higher the storage temp, the shorter the shelf life.

Fugg it...
Eat em if they look and smell good.
Your gut and sphincter will eventually let ya know one way or the other.
Sure as fuuuuk would not eat a menu # 22 shrimp jambalaya.
Starving dog in a bombed out mig 21 bunker at the mosul airfield turn her nose to that one, but would eat the fugg outta the other 23 menu,s.
Even dogs knew menu # 22 sucked azz back then.
The brothers liked it though....
Go figure.....

I have never really interacted with you johnny.
Just trying to yap with ya right now honestly.
Trying to figure out how to approach you.
Did the same with OGB when he came on here.
We had some motar talk in common.
I spent 13 months on a 4 .2 crew playing 11C to advoid 11m transistion and stay 11B
That motar experience paid alot of dividends later on in Iraq x 2 for me and my Platoon and company.

Someone told me them MRE thingies are good until the First Zombie Pockalips or the Rapture, whichever comes first.
Did I get some bad info??
Guess I'll just eat taters out the garden.

What years were you with 1st CAV ? June 88 to june 89 C trp 2/7th Task force. 11Chuck Mtoe slot. All us incoming 11B E5 and E6 were giving a brief at 3 Corp HQ from the 11M commitee outta Benning Go to 2AD and 41st IN and convert to 11M or go to 1st CAV and fill in on Motar Crews. They were all 19 series guys Scouts and Tankers Filling in as 11C let me stay 11B Spent my 1st 4 yrs at Carson and Germany as Mech IN. Hated that schit but didnt have the choice. Then when they started up formalizing 11M many of us seen the 11B route would send us to light units only. Fugg being in a high payoff tgt armoured beer can 113 or Bradley 11B 24yrs...
