1. They got rid of the frankfurters menu, and the pork and rice.

They haven't been the same since then. Though the Tortellini with cheese was actually pretty good.

2. That's alot of MREs.

I hope this means KBR is being shut out of this.

3. I was introduced to C rations in 1963.

Super Cs in 1968 & my daughter brought home and MRE for me to try in 1991.

We used to play baseball with Ham & Mutherfuckers (aka Lima Beans) in Vietnam.
