One other is on the outside of a MRE (Meal, Ready to Eat) heater pack. In case you don't know what this is, you take your food which is in a plastic pouch, and put it inside this small bag that has a sheet of chemicals on it. You fill it with water to a certian point, then let it sit, and it boils the water to heat your food.

Anyways, you're sopposed to prop your food at a 30-45 degree angle to cook it, and on the picture is a rock. But instead of saying propping it on a rock, it says "Prop pouch on rock or something" We always just though this was dumb as hell, as "something" could technically be your battle buddies head.

Do you guys use the heat packs a lot?

I was under the impression that their expensive. We only use them when we don't have a crock pot to boil water in.

How are your meals by the way? Do you guys get a lump of compressed bread with every meal? biggrin:

Also forgot to mention that on US calymores it says "Point towards enemy" on one side because in vietnam some set them up backwards and blew themselves up.

The heating bags come with every meal. if we're indoors we don't use em though, since the stuff is toxic to breathe. The food can be eaten cold or hot, so it makes no difference to me. Personally I usually eat it cold. I still buy spaghetti-os in the store and eat them cold too. stupid:

The meals are ok. They're made to clog you up so you don't have to poop for like 3-4 days. After that, it's like passing a kidney stone. ed: No, every meal comes with regular or vegatable crackers.

Seems Mr. Gay left part of that one out.

No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection.

No inspection ready unit has ever survived combat.

Hey MRE's are good, i never propped mine on a 30-45 degree angle (maybe thats why it took so long to cook.
