[ARC5] MREs

[Andrew.MacAllister at emerson.com]

Now THAT sounds Good!

In 2000 I was with WA5WOD and WA5VQH in the Pecos Wilderness outside of Cowles, NM. Base camp was at 9000 feet. Our only food for the Elk hunt was MREs. By the time that we were finished, many days later, and had our Elk, I was DONE with MREs! WOD and I headed back to Albuquerque for some Long John Silvers and Elk processing ASAP. I think we found a place to get a shower, but we were burned out on the MREs... They provide lots of calories and nutrition, but if you don't have to live off them, well... don't!

   The best military eats I ever had - even better than at the base at
Pearl, was when I was flying around the Antarctic during Operation
Deepfreeze with some marines in an R4DA. (Navy version if a C-47).
Theyhad scrounged the best stuff - some beef fillets I recall, and
cooked them in the galley of the plane.Boy, those Marines learned to
swap with the Kiwis and everybodyelse.

I was just a freelopading reporter at the time
