New guy checking in -

A couple of weeks ago I was blissfully unaware of MREs, I knew that they existed but didn't care.
Then I ran across some for sale in a little convenience store near High Springs, Florida. The guy is selling them for $ 20.00/ case of 12. Knowing as little as I did about them, I still figured that $ 1.66 per meal for camping and/or hurricane food was too attractive to pass up so I bought a couple of cases.
Now that I had them, I wanted to learn more about them and see if I had gotten my moneys worth. Now I am hooked on the whole MRE concept. I think it's the pack rat in me, I've always loved discretely packaged stuff.
BTW - These are 2004 Wornick government issue MREs that were probably given out as relief after flooding in Alachua County around the same time as Katrina. By pure dumb luck , I grabbed one "A" and one "B" case, so I got one of everything they had in 2004.
Great site, kman!
