Thanks but I never served. Didn’t mean to mislead.

I have eaten many MREs tho. Right after Hurricane Andrew, I was involved in a gun trade. We were around $100 off and the guy said “how about a dozen cases of MRE’s?”

He had apparently picked them up in South Florida, probably through some kind of hurricane relief. I loved to camp and thought they would be nice for camping which in fact they were. I later discovered they were worth more than the $100.

In 1969, after a traumatic break-up with my girlfriend, I asked to be drafted. I took my physical in Montgomery, Alabama at an Air Force base. To my surprise, I failed the hearing exam and they classified me 2S. Almost certainly due to firing too many pistols with no hearing protection. I was a college athlete at the time. I later passed a much more stringent physical for a Federal Law Enforcement Agency but without a hearing test other than the Dr. noting I could hear him OK.

It’s okay yarddog!
No worries!
I have never had MREs.
I would like to try them just to find out what they are like!
Are you in Law Enforcement now?

I worked for 14 years for a branch of the Treasury as an agent. I loved it for the first few years then began to hate the job. I quit and couldn’t find a real job so went back for six more years. Those last two years I just hated the job.

Vacations...

When the witching hour hits working with 3 can really have you picking them up and putting them down.

Makes it scary for making an error.
