>> No.5823209

I went through basic and infantry training (osut) 26 years ago. We had dehydrated pork patties, chicken a la king, ham slices, beef stew and frankfurters. Our MREs sucked. The only thing good were the John Wayne bars.

I think it was a different company, there were all certificates of rabbinical authority and such in it. Someone told me that the same people who make kosher meals for airlines do the rations, but that's probably horseshit.

To be honest, I didn't really give a fuck about kosher rations, but it's a squaddie's duty to be as awkward as possible and make things hard on the QMs who are invariably kiddy-fucking cuntwhores.

Heh, nothing ever changes. We used to get yorkie bars or mars bars in the bong army as well. And nice old ladies used to send us haribo, which was the bollocks. Nothing like a haribo when you're on a gate in the middle of nowhere at shit o'clock in the morning.

Again, in the bong army we had some Mars bars that had been made for the shah's army in the 70s Iran or whenever it was.

They were still giving them to us in the 90s, when yorkies weren't available.

Jesus, we used to eat some shit. Miracle nobody died.
