  • We compare a Tailored Operational Training Meal with an MRE, both Chicken w/ Noodles main dish. Which is better? Fun with peanut butter, apples, and compare Bill's Brew and Taster's Choice coffees. Which meal comes out on top?

    I took the ASVAB twice in HS, scored in the top 100 of the nation and kept getting stuff from all branches. They wanted me for everything from Motor Pool to Aviation. They wanted me to work on their fast movers. Had the noodle meal, I thought it was very good. Always hoped for the Peanut Butter.

    MRE have a lot of other specs like not falling apart when dropped out if a plan. The Training meal doesn't need to survive harsh physical abuse or temperature variations.

    You need to have your buddy keep his opinion private until you taste it. It's not helpful to have a negative opinion prior to tasting the mre.

    I served in the eighties in Army Reserves. In basic training we went on bivouac where they gave us our MREs all at once for the week. I was 17 and ate all of them first night. I still love MREs. Not sure what I did for lunch the rest of the week. That part of the memory is fuzzy. I remember finding a box of MREs besides the Captain's tent. I can't remember if I swiped any, but I probably did. I was a good decade away from Christ still.

    What I don't understand is why don't they just put a proper frickin date on these things instead of this code which leaves too much guessing as to the year/decade it was made. So stupid. You don't see this on any other food items anywhere except MREs.

    Not sure if you did this, but our squad would save our heat packs. When we had enough, we would break them up and put in a canteen and fill with water. Then we would toss our loaded canteen into an Army tent and wait for the canteen to explode. Then laugh at the Army running out of their tent in their skivvies!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
