I would say this....if I were in a unit on some deployment order for a week, and had to use the MRE’s for breakfast...I wouldn’t say much of anything. It’s decent, and I’d probably start to use oatmeal mix more often. But....after a week of MREs...I’d be asking for fruit, and after two weeks...I’d really like to have a real breakfast occasionally. You’d think that a unit would deploy into a zone....do a week or two, and then pull back into some real camp where they’d get a couple of days of rest and cooked food.
