PD 02/16 and they still had time to be posted to the US :shock:
Drop me a Pm mate, I'm genuinely wondering how you got hold of them, I've got friends serving and they are eating up to 1 year old packs on exercise.

They are exactly one year old mate :mrgreen: I also just got a case of PD 02/16. It seems they become more and more available now. Not selling any of the mine though.

From what I've been told its 2 years then surplus,the best before is 2 years on the meals now (health and safety) my local surplus store only had 2014 packs, never expected 1 year old packs to be available now and certainly not that side of the pond :lol: Its better than what I can get :cry:
I'm guessing the wind down after Afghan left them with a back log and they are doing it early. I got given a pack by a mate last week that he didn't use and it was November 2015 dated :shock:

Wish I could find 2015 or 16 MRES in the UK, some sellers still have the older designed bags for sale claiming they are new.

Have a buddy training with some Brits here in the states. He scored me three ORPs with DOP of 6/16 from them.

As concerns designs on bags, Wornick and Ameriqual both buy their bags 200,000 at a time. The bag design being older for some menus may be from overstock on the manufacturers part. Look for the DoP markings on the top or bottom of the bag.
Have German,Russian,Canadian,Lithuanian,Dutch, Israeli,Spanish,HDRs,LRPs,French,US RCWs,FSRs,Italian,Croatian, Polish,Aussie, Czech, Malaysian, Swedish, Australian and Norwegian Arctics.
