    I was in from '79 until '87 and we started out with the C-rations (which, for the most part, were pretty good but they were heavy) and the lightweight bagged MRE's were new and weird. Thanks for the memories.

    It's amazing that some of these MRE's are still edible. I know the chicken canning plant that I worked at had a best by date of usually 2 or 3 years from date of production, depending on the kind of brine that was used in the canning process. Ya gotta love that gum!! I wonder how long gum would actually stay good? God bless guys.

      2621, Manual Morse Intercept Operator. It's not even called that anymore. I copied Morse Code between the Soviets and the Cubans. I don't believe too many countries communicate that way anymore. Went to school in Pensacola, Fl.

      I'm sure you will. Ace and I already incorporated an MRE into one of his videos about a year ago. That was what got me thinking about doing a channel like this.
