I think it's neat to see all these navy dudes reminiscing about "that one time" they had an MRE.
The only purpose of boat food is to make poops. Anything else it might do, like taste good, is purely accidental.probably better than the crap that is called "food" (that you pay $300/mo for) on cruise…...

Having graduated both Warner Springs and Rangley Mountain - a potato or an MRE would have been heaven. My squad did dispatch and consume rabbit - and we did get coffee and creamer in the morning schoolhouse sessions on Rangley Mountain.Do they still kill rabbits? They can scream BTW, if you don't hit them hard enough hit to kill them the first time. Or the second.
Guys, keep in mind some of us didn't get the rabbit because others were running their mouths about said rabbit and the instructors heard it and changed the training objective. Just be careful with how much you say.
so you had to kill a potato?
Really?! I never thought that was a 'sensitive' part of the course, it was commonly know before we went unlike other parts of the course.
...I didn't say it was sensitive. Part of the intent throughout the course is to keep you off balance (within the confines of what their syllabus allows), so they change things all the time (for example the EE during our class was different from what the "standard" flow usually is). My point is the more people run their mouths, even about the non-classified portions of the class, the training suffers, or worse, the student suffers because he didn't get a tasty rabbit snack.
but you didn't die and it made poops? if so, NAVSUP has achieved mission success.I ate literally nothing but spaghetti with tomato sauce and hot sauce for 7 months straight. And I turned fruit into personal fruit salads with a knife and a lot of patience. I would make the occasional foray into hamsters, but for the most part, everything else was awful and mainly included in the category of "sausage bar" (and not a good one)
It's as if a lot of the material were classified or something . . .Ehhh, it still strikes me as the SERE guys being wrapped up around the handle a little too tight about the course. My two cents, worth a lot less than that...
