If I remember right, when MREs first came out, they made something like a chicken loaf. If was so dry that without a canteen of water you couldn't swallow it.

The worst thing they ever put it C-rations was the fruit cake, it was awful. I think the only time I ever ate one was in Ranger School when I was starving and I just wanted anything in my stomach.

I actually bought one of the new fleece jackets at clothing sales on Ft Lewis, it's very warm and in the rain, dried quickly.
