    USMC 1970-73. This Marine has most definitely spent many days and nights in the bush eating MRE's. When I was at ITR after boot camp, we were still eating C's (C Rations) in the field (remember, this was 52 years ago). Two years later, I think, we got our first MRE's. They were like manna from heaven. This lieutenant knows exactly what he's talking about! Great video!

      A lot of the bad reputation surrounding the taste of MREs are from those who don't eat them properly. Ie they don't heat up the food, don't use the accessories, or they just get a bad menu. Many of the MRE menus are very good. Although I will say, in terms of quality of their MREs, the U.S is considerably poorer compared to other nations who have less soldiers and thus have a higher food budget for them.

In the worst moments he had to make due with the original Type C rations. Food quality is a huge factor for the troops and until about the last 40 years, military field rations didn't get much better than "edible".

    I liked the chicken stew before they had heaters in them . You could eat them cold straight out of the package. The cheese we had was like the peanut butter you had to work it too to bottom to make sure the oils mixed in well. And desert my favorite was the m&ms

    In 1993 I hiked The Appalachian Trail (A.T.)...took me almost 7 months and a couple of off trail breaks, before I left, I mailed cases of MRE to different post offices along the trail.
    When I picked them up most of the post offices had a room for AT hikers packages that they would have to sit on for awhile. I learned to love MRE
