Mkl22 Supersonic March 8, 2018 Share March 8, 2018 i tot later they even provided solid fuel for heating? reservist like got leh... last couple cycles...Solid fuel only for cheapo SAF. I supported a training with US marines in 1996 and their MRE were dropped into a pouch with magnesium. Just add water to the pack and the magnesium will react and heat up the MRE. Was really nice. The only nice one of the new combat rations in 1996, was the energy bar with dates. The rest was bleeeh, even when we heated them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Hypersonic March 8, 2018 Share March 8, 2018 (edited) i tot later they even provided solid fuel for heating? reservist like got leh... last couple cycles... mine was M113, lagi hot... night time cold weather slept on the metal grille near the engine exhaust part, at the beginning is v shiok... but as the night gets longer, at some point the metal no more hot but became cold.... grrrrrrrrrr..... You still have M113 to keep warm ah. Back then many of us would just sleep in the open whether hot or cold. Really amaze how we managed to survive through?!

Last time the canned type, with the baked beans and sardines... you heat up also no appetite hor... we always stocked up luncheon meat in our M113 instead... also hid gardenia bread there instead of depending on the hard tacks...
