Re: MRE Case Oddity, to me. Info?

I wanted to find out more of the history before assessing the risk about where the heck they came from before doing any tasting. :lol: Sounds like they might just be bits and pieces left over from actual MRE's of di...

Re: MRE Case Oddity, to me. Info?

Hah those are pretty cool looking huh! Did you try the one out you opened? I have some early tan bag mre's (1995 I think) that have this similar mix of the tan colour crackers, dark colours of other things like the cookie bars etc and the green retorts. Judging by that mix of clear accessory packets...

Re: Suggestion: Increase file attachment size
