Collection of ACCESSORY PACKETS from different US Rations
Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2009 2:26 pm
Hi guys,
the next days/weeks I want to introduce a collection of sealed ACCESSORY PACKETS from all different kinds of US rations (MCI; MRE; RCW; Food Packet, In-Flight Individual; Food Packet, Individual, Assault; Halal). In addition to the kind of ration I will differ between packer, kind of modality and contents.
Most of the ACCESSORY PACKETS I will show here I got loose, without regard to the original complete ration or ration case, so in most cases I don’t know the exact year of packaging (especially the elder ones have no date code). But if I know the age or had found a date code, I will add it to the description as a matter of course.
I will introduce maximum two packets with each photo, and then I will list the contents and the packer when available so as mentioned on the each wrapper.
The first part of the review should show ACCESSORY PACKETS which were part of MCIs (MEAL, COMBAT, INDIVIDUAL). Further on I will divide them into two chapters: Pre 1972 and post 1972, because 1972 was the year the cigarettes of the ACCESSORY PACKETS were discharged.
