How to read pack date for HDR's
Hi guys, I recently scored a case of Humanitarian Daily Rations in the salmon colored bags. There was no packed/inspection date printed on the box, but the number 9103 is faintly stamped on the bottom of some but not all of the bags. There's a code and a time stamp listed on the entrees. Example: PE...

Going rate for G.I. sleep systems
hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the $200 used, $300 new price range for The ACU camo modular sleep system that the army uses from Tennier is a reasonable price range or if it's panic prices. I'm going to be spending some time camping in the mountains this year and want to do away wi...

add coffee packet & ice to chocolate protein drink
I've been saving mine and finally had one. At first I was scoffing at the label because 12g of protein for 270 calories doesn't pass for a protein shake in my opinion. I dropped the coffee packet in mine and used crushed ice water, I highly recommend it this way. Not much in the way of nutrition, bu...

Re: Newbie Comments on Menu 13 - Cheese Tortellini in Tomato Sauce
What was that type III coffee like? I've heard from other reviewers its a travesty. Thanks for the write up! If you're a very positive and cheerful reviewer like Steve, you might call it smooth. Otherwise you might say bland or tasteless. Much like a cheap pilsner, it lacks in flavor and bitterness...

Re: Menu #22 Asian Style Beef Strips w/ vegetables
I just ate this recently and was too lazy to write a review. I liked the bread, it was puffy and dense at the same time. Interesting tactile experience just to pick up and touch. I agree about the main course, it needed rice or noodles big time. It's basically that cheap canned chow mein with the bl...

Choc. Hazelnut Cocoa beverage
I just tried menu 15 - Mexican Style Chicken Stew. The chocolate beverage powder was far more flavorful than expected! I think they were going for what in Californian Spanish is called a Champurrado. It's spiced hot chocolate. Usually there's cinnamon and ground hot pepper added to spice it up. If y...

Re: Newbie comments on Menu 19 – Beef Patty, Jalapeno Pepper Jack
What's the date on that meal? Both of the #19 meals I've eaten came with a double pack of MRE bread. The meal is essentially a bacon cheeseburger with two desserts. Or is intended to be; it's a pretty sad cheeseburger. It's comparable to a real one in the way that MRE pizza compares to the real thi...

Menu 19 – Beef Patty, Jalapeno Pepper Jack OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE TFF : This cookie was as good as any crisp cookie you’re ever going to find pre-packaged in a U.S. civilian grocery store. It’s very thick and oversized like a novelty soft-bake cookie, but extremely crumbly and crisp in a ve...
