Think breakfast style MRE with sweets and crunch. Enjoy menu #20 of the newer MRE series with me as we unbox and eat this interesting meal. It was actually quite good.
Come for the stories and stay for the food. I'd like to see ya do it over a fire where you can cook the foods that should be heated. I'm sure you did that at one point in the field. Love this stuff, and good job ace with the camera skills
Hey Marine! Watching you mix the beveridge powder reminded me of how we (the boiler techs) aboard ship would scrub clean the stainless steel deckplates down in the fireroom. We had a 5 gallon bucket we'd put "bug-juice" concentrate with out sugar...add water and scrub the deckplates. The soap we added resulted in red or green foamy solution. This concoction allowed us to de-grease the deckplates as the citric acid in the bug juice concentrate would break up grease and oil residues. Made the fireroom smell somewhat better for an hour or so.
Thank you for your service my dad had just graduated high school in 1965 when he got drafted into the army his younger brothers 1 of them was in the marines it was a funny time when my dad and his brother hung out they always said funny things to each other
Allow me to jump on the bandwagon. I loved every bit of that story, from coincidentally hitching with an American, to the little girl thinking you're a Nazi, to the Patriarch clunking down the road in his wooden shoes....all of it. I really like how the stories are weaving through the video's too, that was a great idea.
The story about moving provinces and needing to contact about the government and all that is still partially true, but it’s way less work. It’s merely just some paperwork for moving out and all that.
Great story about going to Holland and meeting your extended family. I have a similar story about going to Germany and meeting my family in Basel, and they were so happy and accommodating I considered moving there permanently. My family members who left escaped the war, and were still alive so meeting me only two generations removed was me meeting great aunts, and uncles, and some second cousins and I felt the immediate familiar connection and my great uncle showed me pictures where I looked almost exactly like him in my 20's. Separated by a ocean, but still so close. The elders of that time are gone now, and I've written to one of my second cousins not to long ago, but time again has separated us. It was a beautiful moment in life.
yet another great MRE review there. The memories you shared with us about your relatives from Holland was simply amazing i loved the fact you got to connect with distant relatives like that and they were interested to learn about you as well! your travelling in the navy allowed you to meet them its so cool to hear stories like that i love them!
Thank you for your service.... My father was in Nam Armor division of 17th Cav Redcatchers.... love watching your videos and listening to your stories... Keep up the good work!!!!
I appreciate your service me ancient you and many others are the reason we are all able to fish and watch these RUclips videos freely. I salute you 🤝🇺🇸
Me Ancient, thank you for your service and this video! My mouth was watering as I watched this one. Please do a video with a campfire especially if the heater isn't doing a good enough job. It would definitely add to the ambiance of the video
Wow. What a great story. I kept flashing back to my story in search of my ancestors. 1982. Yugoslavia. Trip w my dad and mom to the town he, my grandparents, great grandparents etc were born. Saw our house with family name. Unforgettable. So similar. And just being able to make that kind of trip and locate your ancestry. Dynamite story. Please keep em coming.
I'm thrilled I stumbled upon your channel, I've been a subscriber of Aces channel for years, spent a while not really on RUclips and I always loved when you were in his videos, your personality. You guys are awesome, enjoying the stories as well.
I love all of your stories. I could listen to them all day, you’re such a good story teller. Thanks for your videos.
Loved your story about your trip in Groningen. I myself am Dutch and I was pleasantly surprised by this story!

Great story and review . I would like to try that ration some day.
You could make videos of you just sitting there telling your stories and I'd watch, and love, every second of it. Your videos never disappoint.
The blueberry granola is probably one of my favourite US ration items.
