My understanding is that USAF chow halls uses ground beef for their version of SOS and USN uses the "chipped" spicy dried thin-sliced beef which is definitely more costly! 
 
My mother used the latter and I have HATED it since Day One! 
 
BTW, the "shingle" is a slice of toast.

Nah, SOS  was creamed beef on toast, which I happened to love in the Air Force, by the way...yum!!

I even had my wife cook it for me, but it was never the same...hmmm....

 In WW2, my dad told me that he and his buddies referred to the rations as
 "sh*t on a shingle."
