Pretty close....

MRE's are fine dining compared to C-Rats! :D

[SHOOTER1]

bones wash your mouth out, Cs are the best of the rest, at least you know what your eating, Specially the Ham ands, and Roger, everything above is truth cept the part about MREs and that Mattie Matel Peeshooter, Ill still take the M-14 weight and all, it will shoot the distance, and shoot thru what it needs to thank you.

[wrbones]

I just didn't like them damn cakes, SHOOTER! They was nasty! LOL. Hell, the rest was good eatin' fer a poor boy from the country!

The MRE's are much better, though.....

[SHOOTER1]

Punch some holes in them cans and bake over C-4 just like the bread that smelled bad till it was cooked, loved that pound cake, that was gold.

[greensideout]

Got to go with Shooter on this one. Lived on both MRE's and my beloved C-Rats. I'll take the mouth watering Cs anyday! The dehydrated stuff did kinda come to life but just did'nt have the weight in the gut like C-Rats. Oooo, I miss the egg & ham! A pound cake on top of that and you were good to go!
M-16, M-14? No, the bullet is too small. Give me the most dangerest weapon in the world. An M-1 Garand in the hands of a United States Marine!!!

[Super Dave]

C-Rats were much better. You could eat an entire meal and never touch your canteen. But the Sh*t disc candy!! That was the best

[SHOOTER1]

the candy was trading matrerial along with the Salams and other menthal at the skivvy houses , ADMIT IT MARINES.

After the reservoir, our company was passing through the Brits at Wonju to take over the regimental point. A British Sgt had just opened a can of lights as I passed and pulled out the disc of cocoa.

He looked up at me and in his Limey accent said " coaco. Eiven the blynkin King has no Coaco."

With all due respect Staff Sergeant your thinking of the wrong serive. Only the Army boot camp has stress cards, Marine Corps Drill instructors are still roughing recruits into tough Marines. One of my Drill instructors was an ex-Army Ranger changed Marine and he told us about those Stains that occupy the ranks of the Army.

[fabboss]

any weapon in the hands of a Marine makes it the most deadliest, and you always saved your pound cake till you got a can of peaches for peaches on pound cake delight! And what in the seven names of the most high is a stress card in boot camp is that something like the chineses thinking position favored by my DI's?

[DawnMarie]

i can run 2 miles with a hangover .. its not fun :)

talk about meeting john and earl .. eeew


jellybean

[Butskie51]

MRE'S suck compare to C ratr's and I had both with hot sauce!

[Sparrowhawk]

peaches and pound cake, you slid open the can the pound cake came in just a bit, pour in a couple drops of water, warm it up over a heat tab, or C-4, take it out, and enjoy warm cake with slice peaches, always drank the peach juice down to the last drop.


It wasn't till I had been in Nam about three months that I discovered, putting in the dry cream packets that came with the coffe and sugar into the coco, man that was living.

[leroy8541]

MRE peaches are styrofoam and there is no pound cake so in my opinion c-rats win hands down
just my 2 cents

[Motor-T]

Can make good hot cocoa only when using the chocolate from the vanilla bar with the coca mix in the C-Rats.
Smoked the Chesterfields cig's..
