"Do they give you training on how to open theses?" Technically no, however, they will starve you, and then say " you got 2 mins to eat." Trust me, you'll tear into that so quickly lol.
0:59 If you get them online, they're not the same. Use what you were issued. 2:18 Yep (On the bread, not the cracker) 8:28 The one with Skittles. Which is usually the Jambalaya. (Forgot the menu number) (I WANT to say 22 but I could be wrong) (Plus you get a mini bottle of Tabasco, which makes everything taste better) 12:52 Anything with a patty.
The first MRE I tried was the chicken chunks. I made fajitas from it, but sadly no frh to heat the chicken. Was still pretty good, especially with the buffalo sauce.
Underrated opinion but the pepperoni pizza mre and the beef taco are prolly one of the best mre’s. Cheese tortellini is alright but everyone always wants that for pudding that comes with it. Pepper jack beef patty is alright too if u don’t mind that it’s not real meat.
this is gr8 &i'd suggest she was fortunate indeed... if there was something inside that required heat, how would a soLdier warm it up while in theFieLd &what happens to all of the packaging after consumption?
The best way to open a MRE is with your CAC. This is something we did at BCT, and I still do. Chicken Pesto is probably my favorite MRE, good food and the snacks are great.
I hate trying to open the bags. The banana bread is like really sweet though. The drink mixes are for like when your on the go but, the shake takes a certain ratio
I got the Chicken Chunks today thinking it would have M&Ms. It didn't, but the BBQ corn nuggets were good. I traded away a part of my meal (I forget which one. It was a good one) for cobbler. However, it wasn't cobbler. It was garlic mashed potatoes. I stabbed a hole in that and threw it
Hey bud congratulations 🎈🎊 on your baby boy we have a 3 month old and I’ve been watching your vlogs for over a year now before becoming parents. Super cool to see you doing family stuff 😎
Wow, those 2 r in the top 5 for me it’s Chicken Chuck, then Southwest and Beans, I just got finished with BCT, and we still have MRE’s at AIT for sick call
I always got Beefaroni Pasta, Spaghetti, Chilli Cheese Mac, Chicken & Dumplings. I never got to try anything else except Chicken Ala King. They tuck it off the list because people kept getting salmonella- food poisoning for some reason.
We lived off MRE’s for a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina. Those definitely were good ones. I hated the beef stew the most. You should definitely get one she has to cook.
Whichever fits you best, I went through and researched all the different branches and their programs and then talked to a recruiter when I had an idea. I picked the army bc it worked with my career and school goals, but I have friends in the navy and Air Force and they like it.
Hey, I know this is unrealated to video but I have a question in mind. When you go to Boot Camp, can you bring your wrist watch? Or does your parents ship it out to you once you arrive?
You can take your watch...very important piece of equipment...got to be on time...i would take a cheapo one to basic...get a good one after you gat to a permanent station after all your training is over...remember... There is only one theif in the army...everyone else is just trying to get their sh!t back...and i mean that...some a hole will take your stuff so keep an eye on all your sheeeit
Buffalo Sauce on Tortilla... 😋... She's a soldier.. MRE..... Strike bars.. "super hungry"....but the trail mix...good... 😂 Trade Skittles for M&Ms ... Thank You
When I first joined the military the had C-rations and even when we switched over to MRE in the 80's none of that sounds as good as the modern MRE's, what lemon pepper. Boy I envy the soldiers of today. I bet no one has even heard of a P38, LMAO :)
The three most likely to be traded, Tuna, Frankfurters and Beans, and Freeze Dried Pork Patty. ha ha ha The Tuna is the only one left out of those. My favorites now are Kosher and Halal.
Nice video between you and your wife sharing MREs. My son and I shared an MRE when he was a little guy; he was so excited and had a great experience. Again, congratulations on 1LT; I passed my 1LT 'legacy' bars to another officer long past. Well, your wife has earned CPT bars and your son is earning PV2 chevrons. Best to you, your wife and son, Matt. Keith
my experience was military will give you two choises, starve or eat FAST, add that, you are likely more active than ever and your body will be screaming for liquids and calories. Just drinking enough takes WORK as you are so active, keep that canteen topped up and drink as much as you can.
I've had a PB&J cracker one, and it was pretty good. Of course, I'm not a picky eater; and even less so if I'm super hungry. This was a fun video. Really enjoyed it!
My hubby will let me try some MRE. Lol he told me they are not the best, but since I have never had a MRE he will pack some up for me. The MRE will be good for earthquakes, or any disasters plus camping. Cannot wait to have my first one maybe I will be lucky too.
Hi matt Im actually getting real nervous because im leaving for basic soon and im not in the best shape and im worried that if i fall behind or cant keep up with everyone that ill be sent home is this true? Not only that i dont want to disappoint my family because its kinda a family tradition to go airborne and im scared of heights lol will the military help me get over that fear?
Dude...dont sweat it...if you are really out of shape they will keep you held over at reception untill you meet their minimum standard of fitness to proceed....and airborne is down the road far enough from now to not be worried bout that now either...i had the same fear going in also...but was a baseless fear...good luck troop
@@davidmc1489 thanks man i think its my nerves getting to me, and everyone keeps saying they seen people in worse shape than me going in so i have confidence I'll do just fine.
@@davidmc1489 lol im going to try my best not to fail I'll just keep pushing myself to succeed and i did grow up in a military house hold and military family so i should be fine. Im just getting my nerves worked up when i shouldn't worry or stress myself out. I just don't want to disappoint my family with the last name corcoran i got allot of expectations to fulfill.
"Do they give you training on how to open theses?"
Technically no, however, they will starve you, and then say " you got 2 mins to eat." Trust me, you'll tear into that so quickly lol.
God.. You understand LMAO
Yes
Two minutes? Thats a cake walk for me
Fax
Just shoot the bag open
They seem like a cute couple ive been watching Matt since he had like 4K subs I’m proud of the success he is having🙏
Matt! You've gotta find one with an MRE heater for the main course so she can see what that lukewarm spaghetti is all about lol
I have had lukewarm spaghetti from a takeaway restraunt and it was terrible but I imagine mre lukewarm spaghetti would be worse.
I've never used the heater. Even now that I'm in AIT and have all the time in the world to eat
I did a semester in ROTC and we got loaded up with like 5 MREs on our ftx. I swear there was a whole black market made on just trading MRE supplies.
Yup. Sure is.
0:59
If you get them online, they're not the same. Use what you were issued.
2:18
Yep
(On the bread, not the cracker)
8:28

Anything with a patty.
The first MRE I tried was the chicken chunks. I made fajitas from it, but sadly no frh to heat the chicken. Was still pretty good, especially with the buffalo sauce.
Honestly some of the MREs aren’t too bad,
Like I love the shredded beef with BBQ sauce, that maple meat bar, and the chili Mac
Beef bbq sucks!!!
Izak Nicholas woah big fella, that shredded beef comes in clutch during field ops
Arkeice Ringgold I don’t know man..the sides are good but the meat tastes weird to me
definitely not in school rn
lol
I'm not in school as well that's crazy
Hi, Matt. Love your videos, especially you two together, definitely want to see more video like this! Dink it and sink it, GMM? God bless y’all! 😊
Underrated opinion but the pepperoni pizza mre and the beef taco are prolly one of the best mre’s. Cheese tortellini is alright but everyone always wants that for pudding that comes with it. Pepper jack beef patty is alright too if u don’t mind that it’s not real meat.
I leave for basic nov 3 and your vids have been a huge help on what to expect thank you
You in 1-13?
this is gr8 &i'd suggest she was fortunate indeed... if there was something inside that required heat, how would a soLdier warm it up while in theFieLd &what happens to all of the packaging after consumption?
so do the water flavorings just add anything other than just flavor (e.g. is it more of like a gatorade)?
There’s drink mixes. Which is just flavoring for water. Then there’s carbohydrate based drink mixes which is kinda like a gatorade
The best way to open a MRE is with your CAC. This is something we did at BCT, and I still do.
Chicken Pesto is probably my favorite MRE, good food and the snacks are great.
I used my teeth
The raspberry first strike bar is good
Shredded beef in barbecue sauce is still one of my favorites
U can’t put a lot of bbq sauce tho because then it taste nasty
the beverage package is an integrated container. supposed to add water and mix the drink in the package ;) Grape is da bomb!
Chicken chunks with buffalo sauce, first strike bar or apple sauce, recovery trail mix or tortillas, and Irish cream cappuccino is my ideal field MRE
Shipping to fort Jackson in a month. Your videos have helped me a lot thanks for al the content.
I hate trying to open the bags. The banana bread is like really sweet though. The drink mixes are for like when your on the go but, the shake takes a certain ratio
Nice vid, use the heater?
What's First Strike did that replace the Hooah Bar ?
I didn’t know you could order these! Do another! And where can we order! This was awesome!
Military Surplus sometimes they sell MRE's on Ebay .
On the package literally says “ comercial sales is unlawful”
Happy Tuesday Matt!
Same to you!
definitely do another one! will they allow you to eat the m&ms in BCT?
You're not allowed to have Poggy Bait in Recruit Tranning . You have to hide it they walk by and conviscate it like it's contraband .
It depends on your company. We were allowed to eat the candy, but some companies had to throw theirs away
Anyone remember prb’s? ( performance energy bar ) Or that just a recent thing they implemented in basic
We called em night night bars and they are heavenly
Nikolai I just graduated from BCT I had them @ Sill
Izak Nicholas damn bro I was just in sill a couple weeks ago ! what battalion / battery where u from ? I was in echo 1-31st FA
Nikolai I was at E-1/79. I’m in AIT at Bravo Battery 1/78 since I’m a 13F
I remember the Hooah Bar
White chicken chunks were literally my favorite, I geeked out when I got white chicken chunks during the anville AND the forge
Lol I only liked it cause of the chocolate strike bar
I got the Chicken Chunks today thinking it would have M&Ms. It didn't, but the BBQ corn nuggets were good. I traded away a part of my meal (I forget which one. It was a good one) for cobbler. However, it wasn't cobbler. It was garlic mashed potatoes. I stabbed a hole in that and threw it
I had a bad beef and mushroom one once, gave me the double dragon for two days and a trip to sick call. Chili mac was my favorite.
Love the vids Matt. Keep us entertained
Get vegetable crumbles put hot sauce with crackers in there then melt the cheese and put it in there it’s the best
Definitely a keeper and excellent catch... God bless your service thank you...
First strike bars are a high commodity in the field when I’m around🤣
Cran Rasberry was a top tier product. I’ll trade M&Ms and Reese’s for it.
What's a Strike Bar? I'm assuming that's a Energy Bar that replaced the Hooah Bar .
She looks so happy😂
Nice vid! You think u could do a video explaining Army SOF or maybe even USSOCOM? (In case you haven’t done one already)
Definitely two of the best MRE’s should get something like the beef patty or cheese tortellini.
Hey bud congratulations 🎈🎊 on your baby boy we have a 3 month old and I’ve been watching your vlogs for over a year now before becoming parents. Super cool to see you doing family stuff 😎
Chili Mac is by far the best main entree mre but my personal favorite is beef gulaush or vegetable crumble is a solid one
Chicken & Dumplings , Chilli Cheese Mac , Beefaroni Pasta & Spaghetti .
I got excited when she referenced GMM lol
No one:
Matt’s wife: It was good :3
my wife said the same thing. Guess cause shes only had em twice with me.
Buffalo hot sauce is always
A lucky score...
I miss the mini bottles.. the condiment style packets have a funky retort taste.. thank for serving
Those little 3 drop Tabasco Suace Bottles where enough to piss me off. I was surprised to get a small packet of Pepper or Salt in the White Artic Bag.
wheres the candy that comes in the tuna. i always snuck the reese's pieces to the bay for later
Good thing you were never caught. If even a corner of a wrapper was discovered, we got smoked for a good hour.
Gotta get that spinach fettuccine 😋
I graduated bct in September 24 and I am now at fort lee and starting school for my mos in a couple of weeks
Wow, those 2 r in the top 5 for me it’s Chicken Chuck, then Southwest and Beans, I just got finished with BCT, and we still have MRE’s at AIT for sick call
Find the omelet for her to try!!!! I like the Spaghetti one or Chili Mac.
I always got Beefaroni Pasta, Spaghetti, Chilli Cheese Mac, Chicken & Dumplings. I never got to try anything else except Chicken Ala King. They tuck it off the list because people kept getting salmonella- food poisoning for some reason.
Lady Ward is brave, courageous, and true! Come to Chicago, young lady! We will get anything you want! REAL FOOD!
Should’ve added the cheddar chips / corn chips in the with tuna burrito with melted cheese spread on top ..
We lived off MRE’s for a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina. Those definitely were good ones. I hated the beef stew the most. You should definitely get one she has to cook.
Hope u continue to do good thru these times brotha !!!! Great vid !!! Love ya bro
Matt would you recommend joining army or the navy. I’m really thinking about joining.
Army 💪🏻
Whichever fits you best, I went through and researched all the different branches and their programs and then talked to a recruiter when I had an idea. I picked the army bc it worked with my career and school goals, but I have friends in the navy and Air Force and they like it.
Research every branch and many jobs for them. I joined the Army but I personally wished I chose a different branch.
Stay a civilian and don't join
ARMY
great video guys. C rations were the same way. you had good and bad. i like the pork slices the best.
Hey, I know this is unrealated to video but I have a question in mind. When you go to Boot Camp, can you bring your wrist watch? Or does your parents ship it out to you once you arrive?

MREs, oh crap, I feel constipated already!
Matt... our company at Fort Lee just had an outbreak, they shut down our company, so many of us tested positive, including me
What MOS
@@Izak213 89 series, Echo 832nd
I love the vids of y’all doing mil stuff together!!! More of Kelly please!!!
Creamy Spinach fettuccini is a must
Buffalo Sauce on Tortilla... 😋... She's a soldier.. MRE..... Strike bars.. "super hungry"....but the trail mix...good... 😂 Trade Skittles for M&Ms ... Thank You
Lol I’m loving the good mythical morning references
When I first joined the military the had C-rations and even when we switched over to MRE in the 80's none of that sounds as good as the modern MRE's, what lemon pepper. Boy I envy the soldiers of today. I bet no one has even heard of a P38, LMAO :)
definitely would like to see more of this series
Thank you Matt for the video, Mres are not the best but some are.
Headed to the marines later this year 🤙
Bless ya Brodie 🙏
Tuna and chicken chunks? What type of luck do you have? I use to wish for those in basic.
I'm pretty sure the military owes me some sort of financial compensation for all the damage those MREs have done to my innards.
RIP IT clears it all out hopefully you make it to the Head before your asshole turns into a Puckerfactor.
@@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654 thats what wag bags are for!
snack bread with jalapeno cheese is goated imo
Definitely do another one
I can only imagine how many comments Matt has to go through and delete for this video
Why's that? ;)
The three most likely to be traded, Tuna, Frankfurters and Beans, and Freeze Dried Pork Patty. ha ha ha The Tuna is the only one left out of those. My favorites now are Kosher and Halal.
I liked the chili mac one with pound cake.
With that BPN bottle you gotta get Nick Bare to wear your merch in a video lol
Nice video between you and your wife sharing MREs.

Chili beans slaps too. I don't hear many people talking about it.
The drink bag is the bag the powder came in
Definitely do another one, try for some of the bad ones
Fantastic!
As a picky eater when i enlist mre’s will be probably the biggest obstacle
They really arent as bad as people make them out to be , i enjoy them
Trust me, it doesn't last for long 😂
The news ones are good
my experience was military will give you two choises, starve or eat FAST, add that, you are likely more active than ever and your body will be screaming for liquids and calories.
Just drinking enough takes WORK as you are so active, keep that canteen topped up and drink as much as you can.

Bro did he diss the field bar? That thing is fire.
I have no idea what a Strike Bar is but the Hooah Bar was amazing it's probably something similar .
I was taught the cheese spread is for your pocket so you could have a quick snack later, that and peanut butter.
It's for the crackers that make your mouth dry for several hours.
@@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654 True enough.
Have her do another set Activision Terrian mills and maybe chili Mac and or meatballs marinade
Excellent video 🎉 thanks for sharing, ps givve her a plate next time 😢
Can I purchase this ?
I now want to eat MRE 's for lunch now😂 I wait some excitement when I eat😂
Want***
The Time she used to open the MRE is when you will hear the dill Sergeant say YOUR DONE!
When it’s cold out and the strike bar turns into a hockey puck. I damn near broke my teeth eating that 😂
Can you make a video about ARMY recon vs infantry
Matt, how many calories are in one pack of MRE?
It varies but it’s around 1,500 give or take a few hundred
Gotta get her the creamy spinach fettuccine Alfredo 😂😂😂
You cant choose the meal right? Ill starve so bad at basic im so picky

Was okay, I guess. :)
The chicken chunks MRE is my favorite.

Gotta give the Vegetable Crumbles with Pasta in Taco Style Sauce
