I distinctly recall my first MRE.
Fort hunter Ligget, CA. After a day / night Land Nav FTX, with an ROTC group.
They allowed my wife to tag along, and I gave her a crash course on Land Nav the night before.
After all the bad press I had heard, I couldn't believe how frekin delicious it was.
Chicken Cordon bleu, if I recall correctly.
Oh...and pound cake..... Yum.
I secretly wondered how I could score a supply of these to...ahem....supplement my wife's developing cooking skills.
