gNads noes MRE's

[NHSparky]

Maybe Mexican MREs are different from our gringo rations.

Maybe the Mexican grunts (don't think about those two words together too much, my friends) are fed Ham & Mother****er Burritos when they go into the bush.

gNads knows. She knows.

But what she knows and what she thinks she knows are vastly different.

Again, I've seen some shitty boat food, but I don't EVER recall laying topside to handle MRE's.  Maybe her husband the "sooper-sekrit navigator" can shed a little light on this, along with explaining why he ever married this dimwit.

1961/62/63 the army had maneuvers around here called Swift Strike I, II and III. Us teenagers would make runs to the country stores for the soldiers and they would give us C and K rations in exchange. We thought they were great but then we weren't eating them every day. Some of them had packing dates of the early 1940's...WWII stuff.

Still have around here somewhere a couple of ammo cans and some brass from M-14 blanks they fired.

That's what my dad said when he enlisted in '67... they were still eating canned food from WWII (mostly the eggs).

A couple of reasons for his unfortunate decision have been documented.

Most obvious are the natural urges that might consume a young man after three months locked inside a metal tube with a hundred other young men and no young women.

While nadin may be a grotesque blob to us, to a young man in those dire straits she might seem a port preferable to a bluebird house, the neck of a ketchup bottle, or a warm apple pie.

Beer goggles provide 20/20 vision compared to the effects of a ninety-day submerged patrol.

In addition, this particular young man was suffering the effects of an extended period oxygen deprivation, due to a malfunctioning O2 sensor on board the submerged submarine.

In short, he was severely addled, and by all indications remains in that sad condition to this day.

The result? Years after that fateful patrol he's still following the crazy bald dwarf, lugging The Good Rig.

Maybe he likes the occasional kernel of corn in his Mexican fish taco. Other than that, I got nothin'.

I always liked that chocolate wafer.

The original John Wayne bar!

Yeah, you'd have to REALLY love it, considering SD has two really good fish taco chains in Rubio's and Wahoo's, and who knows how many taco stands.

I don't think that was the type of fish taco he's talking about

Oh, I didn't even want to visualize that.  Oh dear God, no.

How long have you been a member of this board.

Some things just shouldn't be seen.  No.  Just no.

See where one slip of the tongue will land you?


Oh dear God I'm so sorry for that.

Again with the corn!

 

[longview]

How and why does she make such a big deal out of things?

I've helped ranching buddies who stored some MREs in metal boxes at their cow camps on grazing leases in case someone needs them.  I've eaten a few.  Not bad.  No big deal.  Seems like back packing food, which is also handy to have around. 

It's food.  If you need it, eat it.

Wonder what prompted this know-it-all post. So, what branches of the service did she serve in? Amazing they're still intact.

You don't have to be in the military to sample MREs. You can buy them for hiking & camping, too. Some of them aren't too bad and they make your pack lighter.

Exactly.  I've eaten more of them since I got out than when I was in.

Big Dog and I still want our chocolate wafer. (no corn, thank you.)

You would have to refer to here resume thread to be sure, but I believe the answer is 'None, actually.'  IIRC she claims to have been a paramedic in Mexico and possibly Israel.

I don't think she's been in Israel. Just mexico, California, and google.

[DumbAss Tanker]

I don't think she's been in Israel. Just mexico, California, and google.

I wasn't sure on the Israel one, some of her word salads sort of indicated she had some involvement in I-P riot paramedic work, but then again her writing is so poor that 'Ambiguous' falls a mile short of describing it.

[Skul]

Teh gNads makes many claims which have little basis in truth.
I wouldn't believe her in regards to anything she claims, other that the google part.

She wasn't, she was supposedly some sort of first responder in Mexico. She also seems to be one of those military wives that think that they know all there is about the military because they happened to be married to someone that served. They are a big joke in the services and are referred to as 'dependapotumus' or 'dependasaurus'. You usually see them at the exchanges wearing their husband's PT gear and it is always way too small on them.

nadin's addled husband was a non-commissioned coner in the nuclear submarine corps. She often refers to his harrowing combat experiences while hunting for Red October.

She fantacizes about being a mexican paramedic, rappelling into the midst of blazing gun battles between cartel gunmen and the federales like a little cantaloupe on a rope, saving the lives of wounded from both sides, performing battlefield tracheotomies with the peanut-butter-encrusted Bowie knife from her boot.
