There is an ebb and flow with a troop’s love, hate, and pure apathy toward eating Meals, Ready to Eat.

Either you score the new Chicken Burrito Bowl or you get stuck with a veggie option so foul no amount of salt can help cover the taste. It usually goes from the “Oh cool! MREs!” feeling, to then despising the concept of eating from the same 24 brown bags for months, and finally gets beaten into a state of pure Stockholm Syndrome where you get used to and enjoy them again because it’s technically food.

When compared to the numerous failed attempts to feed us using contracted dining facilities while deployed, I chose MRE's everytime but once...when we were allowed into the officer's mess.

The TCN's preparing our food were caught numerous times "altering" it...

Compared to what options we had in the day, these folks have nothing to bitch about.
