While In Basic Training in Jul 80 we ate C-rats ahile doing the obstacle course, Seen a few small packs of cigerettes mostly Chesterfields I think. My Dad always said the Ham tatsed the best so I made sure I grabed Ham when picking up my Box. One of the guys got the dreaded Green Eggs and Ham , On MREs I liked the Ham Slice and also the BBQ Pork with Rice. They warmed up nicely on a power unit too
When they first came out dehydrated Pork or Beef pattys were the worse MRE to get.
