    Found my new favorite channel. Love to see how the Mre’s have came along over the years. Fella marine brother 2004 to 2009. I never drank coffee or smoked a cigarette till the marines.

    • @MeAncient
      @MeAncient  3 роки тому

      Larry, I was the same way. I still didn't get into coffee until I got out, but I did smoke a few while active duty. I had a terrible time staying awake while driving jeeps or deuce and one halfs. I smoked because I wouldn't dare doze off if I had a lit cigarette in my hand/mouth. They kept me awake, for sure. I never did develop a taste for them, fortunately.

      Thank you, Phillip. I did my own television commercials back in the day for our business that my wife and I owned for over 34 years. I have grown comfortable in front of the camera over time. If you can believe it, Ace was super camera shy when he first started his channel. He didn't even say anything on camera in his first videos. I don't know if he has left those videos up on his channel or not. TFW!

    Those C rations bring back some great memories of growing up in a Army household at Ft. Lewis WA in the 60's and 70's. I've eaten many C rations back then and the B-2 were crackers and cheese spread or crackers and cocoa powder. B1 or B1A and B3 or B3A had crackers with the fudge bar or 2 foil wrapped chocolate disks with almonds. Even fresh the fudge bars were not that good, but the foil wrapped disks were amazing. Most entrees were good except pork slices or ham slices, which were too salty. Beef with spiced sauce was amazing along with beef slices and potatoes with gravy. Beans and franks were good and the spaghetti with meat chunks was the best spaghetti I ever tasted. I still have some C rations than I have held onto just for those old memories of a simpler time of my life. BTW, the fruit cake was gross and looked about the same new as it did with the can you opened in the other video.

    I had c rats twice in my military career. In the late 80s during war games. As long as you could heat em and hot sauce they were consumable.

      Interesting idea! But since one son lives in Switzerland and the other on Maui, that may be a while. TFW, Kenny Bowers.

    There was a reason they put the striker strip on the other side of a book of matches. I actually remember when they did that….. If you look at the difference between the second book of matches and the one that went poof, you’ll see it.
    Dammit….. I’m getting old

      That is interesting. It dates back to going to sea in ships and exploring at least. That would be an interesting subject to research. TFW
