Re: Date code TOTM
EDIT to ask, is there a shelf life for the heaters? The only use I have for them is using in soda bottles, but if they don't work after 10 -15 years, I will probably discard them. Check out this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxKFkC7WXEI Most posts mention the code as a 4 digit number, but mine (...

Date code TOTM
Going thru my MREs I noticed some cases were going on 10 years old, so thought the older ones need to be consumed. Then I found a case of TOTMs and wondering about the date. Most posts mention the code as a 4 digit number, but mine (on the case) shows 15106, which I take to mean April 16 of 2015. ED...

What type MRE is this?
I was at a local discount place, and they had some MREs (for lack of a better term), that had a small can of beef Ravioli (single serving type), the usual salt, pepper, spoon items, along with some military type packaging of fruit nut mix and tortillas. Also had a off brand pop tart, packet of insta...

Re: Chow Hall details (Menus/planning)?
When I was in (late 70s early 80s) and doing my time in the mess hall, there were recipes on cards.. and I think recipe cards were what they were called. As time went by and these were replaced with something else, one would think there would be a few sets for sale someone where. Some of the items I...

MRE's in car in freezing weather.
I have left bottled water in a car over night in the mid teens, and was really cold the next morning, but not froze, so how low would the temps have to be to freeze an MRE in a car? Or is this even an issue? I try to leave some emergency food in my vehicle in the winter, but it's mostly protein bars...

Re: MREs after katrina
They need to do something with these while they are still fresh.

Re: Long-term health impact of repeated/extended consumption
I have about 50 odd cases of various MREs, even at one a day would take two years to get thru them all. Not sure it's good for me, but most of what I eat isn't either.

Re: I'm the proud owner
I just had a friend give me seven MREs from 2012. His Son in Law (special forces guy) bought him a case, he doesn't seem to like MREs so he gave me what he didn't eat. Not sure if I want to eat them now, or save them for a future time.
