Cost 50 cents. We got a day off class each month to work in the cafeteria with no homework that day. We were even trusted with real flatware, no sporks.

The cigarettes were of popular brands, such as Marlboros, lucky Strikes, Camels and occasionally Kool Menthols. they were in labeled "Brand" boxes, just like the civilian product, but ther boxes were small and contained only 5 cigarettes per pack.
      It's also interesting to note that on certain Caribbean Islands that had Casinos, such as Haitis and the Dominican Republic, had cigarette girls handing out the same packs of cigarettes to players for tips right up until the mid nineties.

    When my brother and buddy's were kids it was an exciting time to go to the army surplus store. Mostly Vietnam era stuff. We bought MRE's. They were about half the size of a shoe box. Probably weighed 4 pounds, the food was packed in cans painted army green with black writing. They also came with mini packs of cigarettes. I think four in a pack. Benson Hedges, pal mall brands. Much later when my kids were little we would eat MRE's while in the mountains hunting, hiking or doing whatever. The kids were fascinated with the heater that was shown on this video. By chance MRE's became a big thing for the kids and me. It became a fun and different way to eat, visit and talk about our plans for the rest of the day. Who would think that MRE's would turnout kind of special for us but they did. The kids have started there young lives now. One is working to become a Veterinarian and the other is a Marine. He says he still likes MRE's but it gets old eating them for a long period of time. Semper Fi.

    When I was in the Corps back in the early 80s when mre's were first issued we used the crackers to hammer nails into 2x4s because they were so hard. You had to soak them in a canteen cup full of water before you could break them

    You can also heat it the LEO way. When you check your oil at the beginning of your shift, put your entree on your intake manifold. At lunch time take it out and eat.

    MRE = Meal Refusing to Exit is true. I think it's due to the lack of vegetable fiber. It's too bad the accessory pack doesn't contain a stool softener or vegetable fiber laxative.

    When did they start putting heaters in MRE's?

    Rolling the peanut butter spread between both hands is easier than squeezing with your fingers. It's something we used to do when ever peanut butter spread was issued.

    We used to buy and stock surplus C-rations at deer camp They were 20 to 30 years old at the time. I never minded eating them. I used to have a military can opener on my key ring, P-38. With a little practice I could get a can open as fast as a regular manual can opener.

    Aw, memory lane. We were still eating K rations in the "80s during field training in the Reserves. I still carry 1 or 2 bags in every vehicle and a case in the storm shelter. On one motorcycle trip I had to use the main outer bag to transfer fuel.

    Pro tip if you don’t want cold coffee ALWAYS put both the entree and the water bag in at the same time. If it doesn’t fit stick it in the large original bag.
