I have lunch A2 and A3. Breakfast 1 and 2 . All have been opened to look inside. The lunch seem complete except for any accessory pack that was included. The breakfast are smaller and I would guess they are missing any accessory pack also if one was included. All are way out of date from the early 90's.

They are for trade for anything in date or reasonably close to in date. I prefer non US rations. Hit me up with questions or trade offers.

Do you have any pictures?

I will take some tonight and try to put them on

Cool thanks.

Pics are attached

Wow it doesn't look like they have changed much over the years.

I guess they go by "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

I know the thread is really old but i wanted to reply anyway
Not much has changed really because the menus are a ''spanish grandma'' style type of dishes, stews mainly, so even though its a ration it has a ''being home'' feeling to it as you are eating what your grandmother would cook most likely and that i guess that helps the soldiers feel like they are not that away from home...
The main changes that have occured are the inclusion of many tablets to the rations, called ''CRACK-'' which later was changed because it sounded really bad... Like tablets for water purification, electrolytes and caffeine wich later was retired and swiched for a vitamin C and mineral 4 sachet set and fire tablets with some model changes over the years. Also the jellies have been substituted and the amazing tub of condensed milk (what was one of the best things ever) was changed to a pack of sachets with condensed milk, that was more space efficient and that way it allowed to include more food in the ration... Also, a tooth brush was included wich is a big plus.
As for lunches and dinners, same things but now with a bit more food inside, also, the bread goes outside now and there is much more
I'm probably forgetting something but that is pretty much it...

Also for a time there was a experimental toothbrush that was realloy funny to use, it was a chubby toothbrush that when you squeezed it it squirted toothpaste, it was quite funny but not really practical, it was discarded

Of course i was forgetting something!!! The can opener! rations used to come each one with a small foldable can opener, reslly good can openers but the cans changed to a easy open can and it was better that way, less weight, less cost and less problems... But that can opener was amazing i probably still have one arround the house somewhere..

Cool info thanks!
