I think K rats were WW2. C rats were later.

A, B, & C (1938-1958) were ww2, as were K. K was developed as a "2400ish" calorie less bulky pocket meal, first issued to paratroopers and tankers, but failed to provide enough energy.
C went through at least two variants up to around 1958 when, Meal, Combat, Individual came out. MCI was still called c-rats through RVN. Theres more detail available but, that's the generality.

My Dad absolutely hated the K rations.... during the Battle of the Bulge, they cooked a couple of days dead artillery killed horse , said it was better than K rations..

Dirty D- several other threads have T&A too

No need to post pics of infected feet

Now why did I get 25 peanut butters in a row- where is my jalapeño cheese spread for my non salted white cracker

You forgot to slip the "chicken breast with simulated grill marks" in with the cheese and crackers.
And for dessert, dried strawberries.

Gotta agree that the fookin tuna with noodles was the worst. Well, maybe the first version that had chicken a la king. That shit smelled and looked like vomit.

Mre's, we had c-rats, 2 smokes, 5 matches, salt, pepper, gum and whatever in a can with a p89.
If you were lucky you got to warm it up.
If you were smart you kept garlic and onion powder with you.
I started carying sterno, and snacks.

Not to bitch much I was lucky to get the good foxholes with a roof at times.
And no one shot at me, on duty. Lol

Mine came with P-38s. You must have had the 2.0 versions.

You don’t have to force muslims to eat pork.... They just have to be hungry! I watched them eat dehydrated pork patties and ham slice out of first generation MRE’s all the time during Provide Comfort.

And for you younger fighters and civilians who never “enjoyed” first gen MRE’s. They are horrible! And the Ham slice and pork patty were the worst of the worst! ?

And I love pork!

Semper Fi,

Actually, the ham slice and dehydrated pork party MREs were my favorites at that time. I detested the chicken a la king and the ham& chicken frankenfood entrees, however.

Yea p-38 i guess been a long time, p89 is a ruger 9mm decocker I have .lol
Used to keep one on my key ring but ate up my pockets, still in survival gear.

Newer rats are better tasting, the surplus ones I have tried, no smokes though.
If I remember right? 78-81 ish they changed to k's or thats when the c supply ran out?

@Dirty D gave fair and ample warning.

I agree that his methods are brutal, but brutality was called for in this instance. The endless droning about "rations" is no less brutal.

Let's just agree to mutually assured destruction and move forward like nothing happened.

In an effort to sow peace, I will post something that motivates me. Sure it doesn't have tits, but tits are just trouble anyway.

ETA:
Also please limit responses to something funny or snarky(not mean, or self righteous though).
For example: "I bet your fat ass ate every one of them."

In my defense it took several months.
