- Marcus, a subscriber from the U.K. sent me an original British MRE. I'll try every item and let you know what I think. Includes Pork Casserole, Dessert Bar, Mixed Fruit, British Crackers w/Plum Jam, along with great drinks. It's quite an adventure!
Awesome Cap! My Grandfather was in the 1st Canadian Airborne (Can 1 Para) serving under the British 6th Airborne Division (The Red Devils), jumped into France threw to the Battle of the Bulge, across the Rhine onto the liberation of Bergen-Belsen. Respect & thank you to all that serve Freedom!
That's a cool heritage, Craig. TFW
That's awesome!!!!
@MeAncient Brother, what does TFW stand for?

I'm really enjoying your history lessons. And thank you for your service. ❤
Hi Me Ancient first off I absolutely love your videos. I am also subscribed to both of your son's channels they also have awesome content. Well what I should have said first is thank you for your service sir!! I was not born until 1986 so your stories of your marine corp days are fascinating to me because they were before my time. I was also military. I spent 4 years in the Minnesota Army National Guard we were an armor/Tank battalion. I did my basic training at Fort Knox Kentucky. Which I didn't know until I was there but fort Knox is also a marine training facility. Anyways thank you for the video please keep them coming.
I went to basic training at Ft. Knox in 1975.
@@leonardsmith2198 oh wow. I wasn't there until 2009 but very nice base.
My pleasure. Thank you for your service. My brother was stationed at Fort Campbell in Ky back in the early 80s. TFW!
Excellent video and what a wonderful gift. That hat is beautiful. As always I enjoy the stories and pics and thank you for reminding us of the true price of freedom and your service.
My pleasure and thank you for those kind words. TFW
Sobering pictures of the embassy. Rip to all the marines that lost their lives over there. Thank you for your service sir!
Very sobering. And, you are welcome. It was my pleasure. TFW, Emilio.
Another awesome video Me Ancient! I have been wanting to try a British MRE as well. Looking at their menus though, seems like that they have a lot of vegetarian meals which I am not too fond of. Watch out for those TS and Hurricanes and stay safe! vr, S
Will do and TFW, as always, Shannon. This one was definitely NOT a vegetarian meal.
more a case of nobody wants the vegetarian meals so there are an awful lot on the market.
Glad you found our plum jam and added the ending clip, us brits love our plum jam, great video
Hey Brother!! I don't say this every time I message, but I should. With my apology on that, comes a request, from this strange old retired Navy drudge :) Thank you for your Service. You exemplify the care and precision required of people in uniform. I appreciate you greatly.
Sharon, thank you for those kind words. Thank you for your service and TFW
I recently subscribed to your channel via your sons channel. I have to say I never realized I'd be so interested in learning about MRE's.. I can tell you a lot of it is based on you personally. Seem like a very friendly and engaging person & great story teller. I've thoroughly enjoyed you & watching your videos. Thank you for service, I appreciate it.
Welcome aboard and thank you for those kind words. TFW and stay tuned for more......
After eating a British field ration during the Falklands 🇫🇰 war, a Colonel described it as been grey and unappealing.
He also added that a bravery medal should be struck for every poor soldier who'd had eaten them.
Another wit said they constituted a war crime because they were a cruel and unusual punishment.
Nice to see that they have improved.
Thank you for showing pictures and thank you for your service sir :D
It is my pleasure and TFW
me ancient i wanna thank you for teaching me how to pray properly before i eat, i would always be kinda "bad" at praying as in i would always just say thank you god for this food today amen" but now i say a similar pray that you say, thank you so much! , and ofcourse thank you for the storys,knowledge and entertainment you give me any many others!!!

Another great video , y’all kepp getting better and better. That heater definitely meant business. Keep em coming. So do enjoy.
Michael, thank you for those kind words and TFW!
That picture of the US embassy brought back memories of seeing it on I think the BBC when i would have been 14.
At that point i thought we (UK) were the only ones who suffered terrorism (naive child) as we still had the IRA who liked blowing things up.
Those little fruit smoothie things used to be in the British ORPs too, but for some reason they took them out in I think 2020.
I love that you are reviewing a Brit rat, and that you are enjoying a great British tradition of a proper (sort of as instant tea is fine, but..) cup of tea. :)
Im so glad you enjoyed the SMR.
They're pretty good, mostly.
Could use some more variety, or a change of some of the menus, but theyre good for what they're for.
Haha i was wondering where the peanut butter or jam went.
Great video again. :)
Fun fact: I live right next to Northolt Air Base and we have the polish war memorial right on a main road roundabout to mark the sacrifice of the Polish pilots who flew for us during WW2.
That is cool. Lots of great history in England. I'd love to go there one day. TFW
Awesome review I have a couple British rations but I have the ones in the box this video makes me want to break open one of them
Bless you, thank you.
John, good to see you and I appreciate it. TFW
the 3 in 1 tea is a high tec version/ tribute to WW2 British rations they had a block which a mixture of tea leaves sugar and powdered milk compressed into a black hard square
It surely was tasty! TFW and I appreciate the history!
The Brits have a great MRE selection.
Michael, I'm looking forward to trying some more that were sent by Marcus. Stay tuned and TFW
I appreciate you sharing your experience of the world I know it is not always pleasant . And I think people need to know that
It's my pleasure. TFW!
Tell ace I said hi! ❤ love the cap and thank you for your service
I'll tell Ace Hi and you are welcome, Caid. TFW!
I wish i had enough money to try one of these makes me so hungry watching this
Get on eBay and amazon......they are out there.....TFW
Thanks for the video, Me Ancient!
My pleasure, Lydia. TFW
You managed to get a British ration, congratulations! But I hope to see a review of Brazilian mre in the future!
If I can find one, you can count on it. TFW
Semper Fi Ancient Marine! 1989-1994 Marine Here and served on one of the last LPH-2 Iwo Jima Main deployments off the coast of Yugoslavia at the time. I love Acea’s (spelling?) gifts to you a USS Iwo Jima Mug… but sorry, it has killed me to not say something for a year or more. He meant well and finding the LPH-2 Iwo Jima (decommissioned 1993) mug is hard if not unattainable to find. But you as well as me never served on the LHD-7 Iwo Jima (commissioned 2001). I know an old Marine like yourself knows this but some youngsters don’t (not calling your grandson?) a youngster but there are others that might watch that don’t know the Navy sometimes reuses name of old War Dog Ships. I did server for a short time on the USS Wasp LHD-1 same class as LHD-7 Iwo Jima but left the Marines before the New Iwo was commissioned. I have enjoyed your video’s and watch Him, you and me grow older…. Keep up the Video’s and if I find a Correct IWO JIMA mug I will send it to you. Semper Fi Marine!
Yeah, I haven't told him either. It's all good. He found an Iwo Jima mug and figured that was it. I have found some on eBay, but I like the one he got for obvious reasons........ TFW!
There are a lot of videos on rations savouring the taste etc but they all forget to a soldier on the move food is fuel so shovel it all down your neck as fast as possible and carry on but keep the tea for quiet moments when you can boil water and enjoy it.
Ain't that the truth. Spoken like a man who's been there, done that. TFW!
Interesting as usual. Thank you for sharing the pictures from Lebanon. It's always so boring to see what Freedom costs. I appreciate your part in that service
My pleasure and TFW
@@MeAncient I feel like I should correct my post I didn't say so boring I said sobering. Talk-to-text drives me mad that I guess I should blame myself for not reading it before I send it
Pegasus was a winged horse that Perseus rode. Zues, the God of gods, threw lightning bolts.
Hence the use of the symbol, right? TFW
Crush the biscuits and add to the meal to soak up the juices / gravy.
The dessert looks like those sesame seed candy coated ones that you could even find at Costco but I’m not sure I’m still watching your reaction! :)
Back when I lived by a COSTCO, I don't remember that type of candy. That was a while back though. TFW
What a compact, lightweight airborne MRE!
Indeed! Tasty, too. TFW
Loved the video and the stories, just one correction it was the Portuguese that brought tea to Europe, and a Portuguese queen that married an English King took 5 a clock tea and sandwiches to England. But in Portugal coffee was always more popular, and tea was associated with nobility, so it never was that popular in the larger population. The only place where tea is naturally grown and harvested in Europe (edited to add "in Europe") is in Portugal, in the Azores Islands.
Joao, wow! That's a cool history lesson. I had no idea. Other than the Reformation, I don't remember much history of Europe. I appreciate your filling us in. TFW
@@MeAncient You teach us something every video you talk about your experiences in the military, and even some Brits have the same idea about the tea. I am a little of a a History "nerd", but we study it in school, we also study a little about the US history, especially the independence war and later the US role in world history.
I'm just wondering where were the windproof matches and condiments eg Salt as you said and the hot sauce.. Believe me I had a fair few of these.There's always a small hot sauce .?? As for Arnhem "the bridge too far" The allies did not realise a panzer unit had been taken off the line and sent to Arnhem by Model for Rn R. as they had intel that it was likely Volksturm or lower grade units defending the bridge.
Thank you for the history and what you saw me open was everything, with the exception of the jam I showed in the last part of the video. If I get matches, I ALWAYS light them up. TFW
Ancient what mos were you keep up the good work great videos
2621. When I was active duty, a 2621 was a Manual Morse Intercept Operator. I don't even think any military uses Morse Code anymore. I am obsolete......... TFW!
I love how you pray before meals. I was in the only real branch the army for 20 years not as smart as you I was infantry, did 2 tours of iraq so I appreciate your service in beriut. I'm sure that was a mess multi national forces are
so the Biscuits Brown are less like food and more to stop you using the bathroom they used to be called Biscuits Brown AB back in the day and the guys used to say "AB" stood for Arse (that's ass to my American Colleagues) Blockers.
Another great video. Also, do you like the American Rations or the British Rations better now that you have tried both?
Perhaps we can do an eat off (?) and compare some. TFW
Hello Ancient Me from Florida. I have two cousins who are US Marines! Hoorah! My father were both Air Force! I have been following your videos for a while now. Your mix of history and ration commentary is fire. Thank you for your service. And please keep the entertaining videos coming.
Thank you for your kind words and my pleasure. TFW!
Thank you for your kind words and TFW.
Letssss goooo love ur mre vids
Thank you for that and TFW
do have a question for you after hearing where you served. around 1993 i meet a navy medic who became a good friend. he gave me a tripod camping stove designed for 1 lb propane bottles. he had it with him also when he was on the beach in oct 1983. so my question to you is have you meet dennis cooke. navy corpman. would have been on the beach at any of the sickcalls or after the barracks blewup.
I knew a few Navy Corpsmen, but that name doesn't ring a bell. I was gone from Beirut by October of '83. I left in June. TFW
You got to love the Britts. They are the only true friends to the US besides the Canadians
Had a rough start with them some 250 years ago, but been pretty good ever since the late 19th century, for sure. TFW
👍
Back atcha! TFW
I was hoping you got the Chicken Tikka Massala British MRE.
Travis, you never know what might be coming. Marcus sent several meals. TFW and stay tuned!
Thank you my brother for another entertaining video, and I love your stories and pictures from your amazing military career... take care and may respect to ace, your friend from Canada
I wouldn't consider my military 'career' (4 years active duty) amazing, but I appreciate the sentiment. TFW from Canada.
Don't sale yourself short, you served your country and this is something to be prood of big time 😊
18:09 they included a French jam into a british MRE damn the hundred years war really is over and Jeanne d'Arc won everything 😅
I think WW1 and 2 threw them back together, for sure. TFW
We (french) are cousins with Brits since 1066, sometimes fighting, cheating, but the same family. They are also our best allies since 1880.
Well put, my friend! Since we were started, by and large, by Brits, and y'all are cousins, that makes us Yanks family with all of ye, me thinks. .@@chemcom276
@@chemcom276still fart in your general direction
This makes me hungry!
It should....it was good. TFW
I spent 3 tours there 81 through 83 first marine killed was a friend cpl David Ragan
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Were you USMC? TFW
You should put a clothespin on the heater bags
Great idea. I'd probably carry one with me if I were still in. TFW
You should try a MRE From Belgium If you haven't already
I'll keep my eyes out for one. I"m not sure if I've tried one, actually. TFW
5 minutes I got in
I’m like number 20
That's why you don't release a new video on a Monday morning. TFW
Britain has ORP's or "Operational Ration Packs" - not MRE's.
Gotcha. Same principle, different name. TFW
The UK and US guys have always enjoyed trading rations for the sake of variety. MRE's get boring after a while.
That's always a highlight, to trade. I never had the opportunity to trade with other country's units. Just among ourselves within the Corps. TFW
coud you pls answer why you thank god for the food and not the people who worked for it and its a question in a not disrespecfull manner im just curious and interestet?
Who would he thank?
The farmers who grew the tomatoes in the casserole, or maybe the farmers who raised the pigs.
Maybe the people that made the machines that package the mre.
I think that would be a very long and boring speech iof gratitude.
Thanking God who (if you have faith) made all these things possible is the point I think :)
@@christinevenner183 but the people still give there time for that
@@TheCotzi True, but they get paid, so they're not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.
He did thank Marcus, the guy that sent him the mres. As he did send them out of the goodness of his heart.
When I know the people who prepared my food, I thank them as well. I give thanks to God because He is the provider of everything good, according to the scriptures. We are also told that all food is fine to eat as long as we do so with thanksgiving to Him who provides it. That's the answer, my friend. Thank you for the question and TFW, as always.
thanks for the answer@@MeAncient
i Hope its vegan! jokes aside you saved yourself in the last videos to not get me unsubscribe love your work God Bless you and your family
Thank you for your support & TFW!
One of the biggest F ups in WW2
Having been in the intelligence part of the military, I have seen a little bit of that personally, although certainly not to that degree. You can sure see that the Allies didn't give enough credence to their own intelligence reports. Very sad......TFW, Zachary.
I think you need to rephrase that wherever we have an embassy in whatever country where that embassy sits is US territory not that country's territory it belongs to the United States
That is very true. And the reverse is true for other countries' embassies in the USA. TFW, Dale.
Thanks for history lesson and your service. Sometimes u are hillarious how stupid mistakes yiu made MRE. I think for MREs they need to exclude Pork because many people dont eat it Jews, Muslims.. now for Beef I think Indians dont eat it but they should have more Chicken.. because everybody eats it and we live in diversified world now.
marcus u sent him the four fingers of death m.r.e. that the worst
It was pretty tasty to me and I'm still here....... :-). TFW
in the army we called it four fingers of death everyone wanted to trade i will try send you the pasta n meatballs m.r.e from uk thank you for the videos marcus is laughing if he reads that comment its like the tank treads but uk version
They do not measure water in kilograms. And “we know the British like their tea from movies.”? 😢
Yeah, we watch classic British television and movies based on old English authors. It seems there are often times references to tea and enjoying a good cup. TFW
Not the same as tinned sausage, or babies heads
Alan, yuck! TFW
You got to read it with the accent lol
Richard, you really don't want me to do that.....trust me. TFW
@@MeAncient 😂😂 I think it would be hilarious lol. Thank you for the awesome content sir and thank you for your service. My brother recently retired from the army.E9 Sgt. Major, so we are big supporters. Stay safe and God bless 🙏
U like to hear urself talk 🦜
That FRH took off like a volcano. Why the US can't have something like this in the MRE's is beyond me.
This MRE is a winner. Thanks for sharing.
That heater really did the trick, for sure. TFW, Scottie!
I’ll be honest Scott us Brits stole the heating element idea from the US military. When I served in Iraq in 2003 alongside US forces, I was hugely envious that they didn’t have to use hexamine blocks and a stove!
@christhorpejunction8982 honestly can’t say I’m too surprised. It’s the way the world is going. I remember clearly not long after being in Iraq being reprimanded at work for changing a lightbulb because I hadn’t had the health and safety training that was required 😂
In Afghanistan British Forces were a pleasure to work with!
In the early 1980s, my Navy ship (USS Ainsworth FF-1090) hosted a few British sailors for two weeks during an exchange. Good fellas. Another time we hosted a few German sailors. Good dudes too. 😎👍
Thank you! 👍
I enjoyed meeting and visiting the few allied troops I met during my time in. TFW
Hello from Scotland! Thank you for your service. We don't underestimate what you guys in the states do for and with us. ❤
Hello to you, too! You are very welcome. You are very kind. TFW
British Ration packs have come a long way from what I remember and usually come with alot more than what this one did. I'm wondering if this was one of the newest ones that are mean't emulate US MRE's. Since Marcus was in the Airborne forces it might be a "lightweight" version, since I don't recall them showing up in bags until maybe 2017-2018.
The ones I remember are usually alot bigger, called ORP's (Operational Ration Pack), in a big cardboard box giving you 4000kcal worth of food for 24 hours. Thats usually 3 main meals, numerous snacks, fruit and nuts plus an assortment of drinks.
It’s a 12 hour ration pack. Operational. He’s yet to look at rest of them. Won’t spoil the surprise 🇬🇧🫡🇺🇸
Ah I see, good to know!
@@marcuskiritsis2076 Hey Marcus Thanks for the MRE and i subed ya too.
@@marcuskiritsis2076thx dude!!!
New ones are 12 hour rat packs orr 8 hours packs. Britain has gotten more towards the combat meal model as a small cost effective rather than having a 24-hour pack a box
I saw the movie, " A Bridge Too Far", again recently, it's a pretty good WW2 movie, based on Operation Garden Market. It has several big screen stars in it. I read some information about how realistic the movie was, and I believe that several reviewers gave it around a 90% accuracy rating on the situations, and the outcome of the various blunders made by the allies. A 3 hour long movie, that is a real departure from most movies about the battles of WW2. I enjoyed your pictures of the embassy, such a tragic event though. Great video, looks like the military in the UK, eat very well. Thanks for your service, and may God bless.
You are welcome and I'll have to watch that again. It's been quite a while since I saw it. TFW
Market Garden was probably Montgomery's biggest failure in WW II. The logistics were screwed, LZs were missed, soldiers lost their lives BEFORE they even engaged the Nazis, etc.
Um i have to say that a bridge too far is a load of todge it may be based on arnhem but it is highly so far away from the truth and besides the reason the attack failed is because it was betrayed by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands not because of any major fault of the commanders except maybe browning glory boy. read a proper book rather than watching an american financed movie, attenbourough took the money rather than present the truth.
Wow the Brits have a good one there.. THANKS Marcus for sending that over to Me Ancient to review. Me Ancient great review !!
The review is easy when the meal is so good, for sure. TFW, Steve!
Man that was bad ass as usual to both of y’all highly enjoy it, and cheers from San Antonio🫙
Cheers back atcha! TFW
Hi Me Ancient. I’m happy that you finally got to try a UK MRE, although I have to say that both the French and Spanish ones look more appetising. The cereal bar definitely looked a bit plastic! I wish I could find a Scottish MRE that had haggis and Irn bru on the menu, but I’m pretty sure they don’t make those! Best wishes from Scotland 😊
Gillian, that would be cool to find any Scottish MRE. Are they really out there? I've never seen one. TFW
I figure people cannot wait to hear what I have to say, man! TFW
love me some irn bru!!!!!
I wanted to share a funny story. My cousin has been in the navy as a corpsman for over 7 years now. When he went to join the recruiter told him he couldn't join because he wasn't tall enough. According to the recruiter you have to be at least 6ft1 to join the navy or USCG. That way when your ship starts to sink you can walk right out of the water 😂.
That's funny! We really appreciated our corpsmen who were attached to our unit......for sure. Tell your cousin, "Semper Fi," from an old Devil Dog. TFW
You need to try the British 16:37 24 hour pack theirs loads more in it and a large menu to choose from
Ten menus that need to be changed at this point, and muesli or some kind of baked beans meal for breakfast gets very repetitive, very quickly. 😂
They're not terrible though :)
Marcus sent a few 24 hour MREs as well. We'll see what he sent soon. TFW
My Granddad was one of the first British Paratroopers , 1940 No2. Commando/II SAS - X Troop - Operation Colossus , The first British Airborne Combat Drop of WW2 February 10 , 1941
That is a cool heritage! TFW
Yeah cheese or peanut butter necessary
James, they had the jelly in there, I just missed it until the very end of the video. TFW
No Peanut Butter WTF
No, but they did have the jelly.....see above.
First of all, I do enjoy your testing of MRE's from round the world. I am Norwegian and I served from 84 to 86 (the last year as UN Peacekeeper in South Lebanon (having Bekaa Valley and Syria just north of us, and Israeli occupied Golani Hills to the east..).. looking at modern Norwegian MRE's is way different from what we had back then. We had mostly dry crackers and something can remind of corne beef with lots of veggies in it..
Take care and keep up with the videos..
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like it! TFW
Sorry to be nitpicking But zeus was the god of sky and lighting but the uncle of Pegasus and Pegasus bought the Thunderbolt to zeus
That must be the sausage... Too funny man. Have a good one.
What can I say.....TFW
The flag in the thumbnail is upside down, by the way. The Union flag (commonly referred to as the Union jack) has not been symmetric since 1800 after the Kingdom of Ireland got incorporated and is represented in the current iteration with red diagonal stripes from St Patrick's Saltire. The wide white diagonal stripe goes over the top of the thin red stripe in the top left corner, and this pattern is then rotated around each corner in an anticlockwise manner.
Thanks for the great content.
Pegasus wasn't a god, my American friend, greetings from Poland PS. that was Perseus.
Love the fact that you thank our Lord for the food. Also, thank you so much for your service sir.
I love all your stories I find them lovely also love ur sons channels much love from the UK :)
Thank you so much, Rebecca. Those are very kind words. TFW!
you are wrong my friend, Dutch brings tea to Europe, greetings :D
A little teasing here But kg grams liters ml dl is used in the rest of World hehe
Wow the food looks great! I think the British MRE are better there something about it that better then US. Nothing against US MRE. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Sorry they lost their lives.
That MRE was really tasty, for sure. TFW, Robby
After REFORGER 1977 I spent 30 days with the Royal Dragoons cross training. The UK was so broke they couldn’t afford fuel, and other necessities. The British soldiers were embarrassed to no end. We ended up supplying rations and fuel for the duration.
I was on a NATO exercise in the North Atlantic and Norway back in the day. I had graduated high school in 1977......TFW, Leonard!
Thank you for your service and a fun video.
My pleasure and I'm happy you enjoyed it. They are fun to make and I get to enjoy some cool food from around the world. TFW
Easy there fella! It's tea first! then coffee.. the s.a.s have been sent in for less 🤨
The British MREs back in the 1970s and 1980s were far better. They included, for example,
"Babies Heads" (steak and kidney suet puddings - a type of steamed pie),
Oatmeal biscuits - simply the best dry biscuits you can imagine, they could be mixed into a porridge or eaten as they came,
"Compo sausages" - ABSOLUTELY the best pure meat (pork) sausages you could ever experience - no filler ingredients, no additives, etc., just pure minced meat.
"Boilies" - hard, boiled candy, sucking sweets that lasted ages in your mouth and were full of flavour from start to finish - don't crunch them if you have fillings in your teeth.
and a bunch of other foods that were personal favourites to different people.
I wish I could get my hands on some of those older meals. Sounds like you had some first hand experience with those meals you mentioned. TFW!
How.much.were
Was.those.cups😊
Definitely a Biden voter
How do we send you some mres?????
If you were in Beruit in 83, then we may have served at the same time. I entered MCRD San Diego July 1 1981. Semper Fi
Indeed! I was in from '80 - '84. I went to boot camp @ P.I. and served with 2nd Radio Bn at LeJeune, N.C. after 9 months of schooling in Pensacola, Florida. Were you in Beirut in '83? Semper Fi, Roger and TFW
Great review as always thanks
Thank you for those kind words! TFW
Another great video! When you unraveled that MRE, it reminded me of a gift bag from a mall.. LOL! I wonder if you served with my Brother in- law.. He was also stationed in Beirut in the early 80's and was an Radio Operator.. He also served in 29 Palms (stumps), and the Marine Corps. Logistics Base in Dagget, CA. I was in from 1997-2002 and did most of my time in Okinawa at Camp Hansen and Camp Foster (S.D. Butler). Anyways keep up with the awesome videos! Semper Fi Brother!👹🐶
Semper Fi, my brother. I could have served with him. I cannot recall any Marines from West Coast in my unit. We were all from Camp LeJeune., 2nd Radio Bn. 2nd FSSG. TFW
He did indeed serve at Camp LeJeune and went to boot camp in the East. He was from Flint, Michigan. It was his first station and ultimately was his demise as he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in his 40's that they tied to Camp LeJeune water. He later served out West, probably chasing my sister. LOL! His name was William (Bill) Neil Phillipson and my sister set up a couple pages on Facebook honoring him. There is even a picture of me holding up a stringer of stripers.. lol Whether or not you served together or not, it is funny to think how many of us cross paths in amazing ways! Keep up the great videos! OORAH!@@MeAncient
Biscuits Brown, versatile, savoury or sweet. The Vestry Foods Cookies and Cream are great too. My favourite menu is the Beef and Dumplings, closely followed by Hunters Chicken. However I love the US Chilli Beef Mac. Thankyou for your service Sir. ✌❤🙏🍻🇬🇧
Greg, more British MRE review (and comparison) coming soon! TFW
Hey pops I don't think u have ever told us in a video but for the average civilian what is the typical going price of a new mre if someone just wanted to get one that looked good on your channel and try it themselves
Danny, they really range in price. Do a Google search for MREs and you'll see all the choices out there. TFW
Do a google search and you'll see the screen light up with options. Believe me, you'll find them, Danny. TFW
Slow reply As always. Behind on watching reviews, as well as posting. I am aware of the glider patrol, and paratroopers. Dad , went through France, Czech, Poland, Others, then into Germany. 97th infantry, 386-387 , H company. Some stories from them, if you look up? Your service is commended, sir! From reviews , I have watched, newer versions lack slightly, from the old boxed, ORP'S? I have not tried the new NATO packs. Your meal looks good friend. I like most, understand, cost of freedom. My Brother was, armored Cav. , Vietnam, he got screwed on homecoming. Your meal looks good, and, has some newer components. That cracker, biscuit, I have not run across. Main seems very filling. Drinks and other sides, seem solid. Nicely done sir. Peace from Somerset, Ky. I know you are close. Peace, John. PPS, I have found food after review as well. All is good.You got it eventually.
John, cool about (your?) Dad. TFW and thank you for the comments.
@@MeAncient , Yes, dad, thank you Brother. May i ever be of help, please ask. John.
I'm proud that both of my grandfather's served in WW2 on both fronts. Both of them had very respectable duties. On my father's side. My Poppa served in one of the units for the Navy who secured Japan on JD day. I'll have to look through pictures to find out which one. My Poppa on my mother's side served in the army on the German front on I'd have to ask my uncle what unit. But his job was one of the many overlooked duties that helped us in the war. He was part of the Army Core of Engineers who helped set up the communications network that eventually lead to the Native Americans fooling the Germans. They were both blessed with long lives as a result and now have true peace with God for helping give everyone freedom. 🙏 Both of them have been role models to me and I love them so much
The ultimate thing I learned from them is having respect and responsibility for your family, friends, yourself and everyone around you but most importantly act upon that and always carry love
Had you kept the praying private, you would likely increase your viewership. While religion might be important for you personally, it just comes across as pandering on youtube. It is private business, let it stay that way.
Who gives a fuck what you think 😂🫵🏻 had you kept your opinion to yourself, you wouldn’t have motivated me to tell you no one cares about your opinion.
Don't mean to bother, but where would I be able to obtain MRE's from?
Google, "where to buy MREs" and you'll find all kinds of options.
