    I'm an old civilian , and I watch your videos because you're more than a legionnaire, you're also a wonderful entertainer . I wish you all the best.

    I can see why my comrades made a three to one trade! We used to refer to MRE's as Meals Rejected by Everyone. But I suppose in the field you are just happy to have food and make the best of it. I think your laugh is great Thomas. After watching your videos for some time I find myself doing the same thing LOL!

      Familiarity breeds contempt. I remember how we looked forward to the MREs as a change from our CRats.

    I was in 1st Ranger Bn while you were in 2REP and maybe our paths crossed on Corsica in '92. The reason we traded the French 3 to 1 because their ration was for a whole day while an MRE is just one meal. It equals out. Plus there was the novelty of foreign rations. Great video series!

    Cher Thomas.
    I'll have 3 ration packs for Christmas please .
    Vegetarian if you have them.
    Seriously though, I think it was me who wrote about your laugh.
    The laugh of a man who has seen too much but nevertheless has remained stable.
    My girlfriend has such a crazy laugh, it was this that first made me curious about her.
    Bravo Thomas.

  • @brewsnale6315
    @brewsnale6315 2 года назад

    Greetings Thomas! Could you please revisit the RCIR and explain when, Where, and how the ration was consumed? I am especially curious how these rations were intended to be divided between the three daily meals. Your channel is a welcome change from the everyday confusion of civilian life. Makes me miss the old barracks days. [1980's USMC]. Keep up the great content. Semper Fi!

    When I was in Germany in 1988 we were training with some Belgian tankers at the Bergen-Belsen Range Complex and they wanted to trade for our MRE's at lunchtime one day and the meal I got was fresh braised rabbit with potatoes, cheese, good bread and a small bottle of wine! I couldn't believe they would trade for a constipation making nasty MRE. Much love from Fate Texas

  • @chicodecoster

    They look way better than our MRE's. The best MRE's that our military had were the Cold Weather rations. I believe that have changed the name to Meal, Cold Weather (MCW) since my time in the military. But they do not look anywhere as good as the Individual Reheatable Combat Ration. Thanks for sharing a video describing them.

    That’s a lot of food. I thought legionnaires only ate snakes and scorpions. I ate a lot of of MRE’s as a US Marine in Iraq. Overall not bad but French meals look a lot better. Is that issued one per day generally? Excellent videos Adjutnant Gast!

    I remember the French troops having wine and pate and confit de canard in their combat rations, I could not believe how good they are compared to Finnish and British. British is ok, curries and breakfast is very good, Finnish is terrible.
