    Default MRE, what should I eat?

    I'm in the barracks. I can't leave. I've got a few MRE's in the chest.

    Which should I eat?

    Beef Ravioli in meat sauce
    Meatloaf with brown onion gravy
    Beefsteak restructured grill w/mush

    None sound all that appetizing, but I'm starving...

    MRE Shits FTL...

    The meatlof is the shit.

    Then again, if you have cheese; I would go with the ravioli.

    Go for the meatloaf....they are all pretty nasty, but that's the one I'd eat.

    Well if you already ate your cheese (you fucked up big btw) then I would take the meatloaf.

    Liz, MREs really aren't bad at all. Most of them are starting to taste really good.

    Alot better than the old green ones, anyways...

    That cheese is the shit, though. I'd never have thought to put it on ravioli, though...

    I always ate the cheese with the crackers, and left it at that.Too bad you don't have a turkey tetrazini(sp?) one, that one was off the chain. I haven't had one in a while tho, I guess they are improving.

    Now heat both the cheese and the ravioli in the same heater package. Then open both of them and mix them together. It's the shit.

    They don't serve that shit anymore. It really is a better menu.

    Eating one will be fine, just do PT in the morning. In Iraq I would eat them in the middle of the night for a snack.

    when does your semester let out? If we ever meet, I'll give you a first strike!

    They are tester meals that another company makes to change out the standard MRE. Comes with alot more food, well...better food, and doesn't stop you up too badly.


    and btw, the chewing gum does not contain any fiber to make you shit...that's a old wives tail.

    That's right, I forgot you'd gone over. If I haven't said it before, thanks for serving. If I have...can't say it enough.

    I've heard of those, but I haven't got a chance to try one, yet.

    Haven't tried teh omelet. Heard rumors. I got one this past FTX. Chunked that shit. Kept poptart and skittles. Made for a good snack.

    One thing that surprised me was the mashed potatos and bacon...that actually wasn't bad, at all!

    Oh, and yes, I have PT in the morning.

    Had PT monday morning, PT tomorrow morning, and this morning was a PT test. I think they scheduled that shit because of easter. My bad for enjoying a ton of peeps and two huge friggin' easter dinners.

    Results on PT test:

    2minutes: 60push
    2minutes: 60sit
    2mile: 14:45

    I'm coming down with some kind of tonsilitis or something...usually, though, I run just like a 14-0 in the 2mile.

    My sit and push, I hit 60 and stopped, my grader was like "You've got like 45 seconds left (on each)" I was like "Yeah, but...I passed, and I know I don't have enough to max. 60's better than I did last time, and I'm satisfied seeing as this doesn't really count for anything for me..."

    bah, those potatoes aren't good hot or cold, I usually just trade them out for sliced cranberries or fruit mix. I usually pick thru for chicken noodle, chic tetrazini, and cheese tortellini....the rest I will just trade or give away, I was very popular at BLOC for that.

    if you want to get the branch of your choice, better hit that 300 or higher.

    what do you want to branch?

    BLOC = Basic Leader's Officer Course, you will do this once or if you comission.


    Are you having doubts about ROTC? Can I ask what they are?

    I will assure you that the real military life is nothing like what ROTC Command makes it out to be.

    If you really want to know and get some extra money in your pockets, you should join the Guard, and goto basic summer and pick 11b for your mos so you would be back in time for school. You'd get paid while training, you'd get the first half of your bonus, and you'd get the g.i. bill and a kicker while in school, and it's only 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks in the summer....I did it, and it wasn't all that bad, it made me hate ROTC that much more....but I got more money than the contracted and scholarshiped cadets got....but you kind of see the silver lining in all the crap rotc sometimes feeds you

    Alright...

    My doubts? Not so much doubts. I just hate being in the corps because they lock me down at 7 at night, and I have an 11pm bedtime. I'm 21...and I have a curfew. That's...crap...

    I don't know, I guess I just want more of a college life than a military academy student's life...

    I remember doing the max for push-ups and sit-ups with 30 seconds remaining and they told me to keep going. I told my Platoon SGT, "Go eat a dick, we both know I can't run for shit with this bad knee".

    He was my friend and we worked well together in the motorpool, so I got away with it. HAHA

    It's BOLC not BLOC.

    As for the MRE's, Beef Rav or Meatloaf are usually good.

    But if can get your hands one, Beef Stew FTMFW!!!

    Try a 5 gallon and that should either kill you, give you mad diarrhea, or balance it all out.
















    j/k, just drink slightly more water than usually to help push it through your system. Depending on your body, it should take about 7-10 hours to go through your system.
