Air force is alright, they just got cushy jobs!
Actually in defense of our country (no pun intended) they do a pretty good job of protecting our crews, better then most. Our machines are built retty durable but you have to be realistic too. Cant make a machine that 100% protects the crew and oes its job too.

OK, just an estimate, but what’s the oldest MRE you’ve ever eaten?
The oldest…I’m not sure.
But the best by far are the British MRE’s.
I’d trade to get their beef stew and let it sit out in it’s bag on a hot rock in the sun for an hour or so, it was fantastic!
Also, their meals came with wind and waterproof matches. When I say water proof I mean you could lite one, drop it into your canteen cup and it would stay lit as it floated to the bottom!
using your head like a devil dog…
~I remember about 12 years ago I was deployed with my Air Force CE unit to an undisclosed location in some third-world malaria infested paradise. After everyone got over their obligatory first week of hershey squirts we all decided to have a few drinks a the local hootch. There we saw the inspiring bravery of the off duty marines who were at that location to guard the facility. These fine young men were trying to show how to do a charge into the enemy. They would take a drink and then run as fast as they could HEAD FIRST into the wall trying to knock a hole in the wall, or knock themselves out!
~While I must admire such courage (equally usefull during and IRS audit), I think back on such times with a sigh of relief that I actually let the Air Force recruiter talk me out of joining the marines!

Geeze…
Anybody here remember the “John Waynes” in the “C-RATS”
MREs
LOL!!
Yep, and the peanut butter mixed with insect repellant made pretty good fuel to heat C rats. C4 made pretty good fuel but you didn’t want to step on it to put it out:D and somehow I always got stuck with the Pall Malls. I saw grown men accually cry when they got the ham and lima beans C rats:D We called them ham and m----- f------.
Where the hell did you guys serve? We always had brand new, or no more than 3-4 year old MREs.
They still tasted like crap, no matter what you got. Hence, we gave them new names: Meals Ready to Excrete, Meals Ready to Explode, etc.
