[ARC5] MREs

[Andrew.MacAllister at emerson.com]

I have had MREs and C Rations...
The one thing that we DID NOT LIKE was the C Ration White Bread...
I was in the Boy Scouts at the time... in Tehran...
We were on a 50-mile (five day) hike...
The White Bread cans went unopened.
Pound cake was great. Fruit cake was edible. White Bread was not!
I hope the Iranians enjoyed them!
We would tie the White Bread cans together with cord or tape, and float them down the river...
-----------------
D-3 (Bread): White Bread. (There were no alternates).
 
Each menu was grouped by their unit number (i.e., M-1, B-1 and D-1 items were grouped together). As an example, the jam in the B-3 unit was meant to be spread on the White Bread in the D-3 unit. Alternate items (designated with an 'A' suffix) were introduced to provide variety and reduce the monotony. For variety, the M-1 and M-3 units (since they both used small cans) were often switched. The 'B'-unit's Crackers & Candy can was lined with a piece of corrugated cardboard to protect the contents from damage. In the 'D'-unit, the white bread came in one solid cylindrical piece wrapped in wax paper, while the pound cake, fruitcake, Orange Nut Roll, and Cinnamon Roll came wrapped in paper wrappers like cupcakes.

SH at T on a shingle or S.O.S. was dried beef in some type of cream sauce.
Allways salty and would bind you up for days.
