Apricot snack bars should be similar to the Uncle Toby's you get in supermarket.

 

Didn't recall fond memories of the combat ration, except maybe the Pulut Hitam. Remember giving away some combat ration to kids in Thailand, after they open it, they just throw away. Seems its not good enough for them.

Hahaha...no man...I really liked the pasta rations...that was good. Maybe it's pretty obvious I wasn't from a combat unit so I didn't get a chance to be sick of the rations...hahaha

No dude...the apricot snack bars are different. They're soft like pastry. Not like the Uncle Toby ones that have too much nuts.

 

Really? I thought some of the rations weren't too bad...especially the pastas....haha

long time ago combat ration is not controlled.

 

then some smart guys brought them into Malaysia to consume during the Mount Ophir trip. Threw the empty cans (yes tin can) and wrappers on the hill side. The Malaysia park rangers found the rubbish and reported upwards. Malaysian Govnt made a big ho-ha over it, claiming SAF secretly sent its soldiers into Mount Ophir for operation or training.

 

After that incident, combat ration become controlled items.

I am a NS men and during reservist got more time to eat while in the field.

 

Few of us sibei xiao-on type..not the chiong sua type but siao on in field cooking.

 

I must say those rations taste good when its hot ! Add some water into the mass tin with the pasta and let it stew for awhile.

 

Best ! especially we are drenched in the rain for the whole day.
