I've seen that company around for a while now. But outside of producing a box that says "MRE" on it, do they actually make anything for any real military organization for any country?

Hmm, the stretchers they make are NATO and mil-spec approved, so I think they are safe to eat, maybe the Singapore-ian army uses these. It looks like it contains a powered version of Pocari Sweat, and MILO, and if I recall correctly someone posted a similar looking ration that is currently in operation

That sure is a nice website...but how do you order some rations fom them?

I mean it looks like it would be interesting but how do you score a case or a meal?

I just inquired about ordering a case, I'll post when I get an answer.

Those retort pouches remind me of the japanese rations.

FDSman,
Awesome, I hope maybe that that company can do a lot better than some of the other overseas companies that won't ship to the US due to some ridiculous FDA law.

No news on the company as of late, I don't think they feel like doing business with me.

Wow, now I know why, check this site out.

This site is pissing me off, when you right click, it pops up with a window that says "mind your own frickin business" Not to mention its a crappy angelfire site, and not a real domain. Sounds pretty shady to me.

FDSman,

Hmmm...if that's the case then I guess we all need to steer clear from this.

Well this crappy little retailer of the rations is a let down, however this doesn't mean the company is exactly the same, I've seen those rations before, known as the national ration of Singapore I believe. However what is in them doesn't sound very different then other foreign rations, and mostly contains commercial components.

FDSman,

Hey I'm confused which ration are they selling? The OD looking packets or the MRE STAR ones. I went back to the web site and they have both pictures up. So if a person tries to purchase a ration(s) are they getting the civilian knock offs or the more OD looking modular cases?
