Sep 14, 2011 - two tootsie rolls from a package that big? nice.

MiHiVidz Says:

Sep 16, 2011 - That sounds like a pretty appetizing MRE meal there. Too bad those types were circa 2005 (according to MREinfo.com) and probably no longer available.

The heaters have multiple uses and if you throw coffee out several 11B's will be wanting to whip your ass. If there is ANYTHING in that bag that could be a moral booster it is the sugar and cream used in ranger cookies or pudding. The best moral booster is getting the fuck out of the situation where you have to eat that shit!

Oct 3, 2011 - After a few months in the field pulling missions as an 11B I didn't feel like there was much difference between me and an animal. The "3 second rule" increased exponentially in relation to the time out. Most MRE's can be sucked out of a corner cut out of the package which is good because, speaking for me and my men we generally had to eat on the move. However, most of us did keep a spoon tucked in our chest pockets right next to the Tootsie Rolls which were there for quick access.

Jan 2, 2012 - True you don't need to make mre bombs, but until you've slept in a hastey position on a freezing winter night, you don't understand the importance of having the heater in your fart-sack. And unless you want to wipe your ass with leaves, you keep your tp, it's a hot commodity in a platoon, trust me. The tobasco can keep you awake at night as well as the coffee, which is all in the accessory pack.

Feb 10, 2012 - I'm not going to get into name calling like others who have left comments, but some of them are correct. When I was in "country" we got 1 MRE per day. You used every bit of it right down to the hard as a rock no flavor gum. We used to "break" ours down just by removing the cardboard. Then we folded it and taped it. All in all it was a good video, and would be found useful to non combat vets.

ndprepper Says:

Mar 1, 2012 - Anyone remember the MREs had cocoa powder in them? Mix the cocoa with the dairy creamer, sugar packet,coffee and peanut butter (No cheese),add a little water and enjoy. That kept us going during DS1 for 3 days during the push. Nobody ate the entree or the cake or crackers becouse we knew we wouldn't have time to stop and take a shit.

Mar 6, 2012 - not really sure why you would throw away any food?You neer know when you will need the extra calories?what happense if you out there for a few more days then planed??MORON

uberw00t123 Says:

Mar 6, 2012 - Maybe just deflate the air out of the full MRE and tape it up if you really feel like it!!! Still got all your food/calories/essentials and it takes up less space

uberw00t123 Says:

Mar 6, 2012 - NON essential stuff??Do you think they would give soldiers anything that wasent non essential??MORON

Apr 1, 2012 - I like the name calling kids, I hope it makes you feel better. I'll say it's not his best but the bashing is unwarranted.
