They aren't bad. They do fuck up my digestive tract something awful. I prefer the officer's mess.

Our drill sergeants taught us that you have to use the Kool-Aid mix, as that has something in it to counteract the digestive issues. Idk if that's true or not, but I never had digestive issues because of an MRE, and I always used the Kool-Aid packet.

We didn't really go over MREs in Navy boot. I doubt the RDCs would have bothered telling us that tidbit of information, since there's really no reason a sailor should be eating those things. I just got curious and bought a few from the Army/Navy surplus stores. I never drank more than a taste or two of the Kool aid packet. Those things aren't exactly tasty, kinda medicinal aftertaste in my opinion.

Maybe it's true then.
