Re: MASSIVE RATION Part 2 Tasting an Australian CR1M MRE

If you have any still sealed GS rations I would pay you handsomely for them. Send me a PM if interested.
Steve, if this comes off, we all look forward to seeing you do your thing!

Re: 24hr. Singapore rations for sale

Re: Gotta love ebay.

Wow, some vintage menus there. “Ham slice” and “Pork chop”. Love to see a list of what you got and the old brown ones too.
