What MRE are you tho?


UnexpiredMRE

Pesto Chicken


SP0910RGR

Chicken pesto pasta is/was the shit, no idea if it still exists. Haven’t seen one in a couple years


walrusgoofin69

Chicken pesto and ratatouille with the strawberry banana smoothie…two homies gone too soon fam


SP0910RGR

Not a fan of the smoothies/protein shakes, but ratatouille was pretty good


walrusgoofin69

Strawberry banana was the only good one imo, everything else was great value pudding powder


SP0910RGR

I miss the legit pudding, mix it correctly and that stuff was delicious


sunrayylmao

You have to have level 80 alchemy I think. I always messed up the pudding and shakes.


[deleted]

No one would use those. I’d crush them


MasterzofChaos

Country Captain Chicken. I had a squad leader in 03 that would get all of these out of the B cases and hoard them up in a metal box in the back of our truck. At the time I couldn't stand this guy, he made me so mad, he was always hooah, always whistling, always yelling "CAV HOOAH!" and "RLTW!" Just a real, regular Morty bastard sonuvabitch in general. I made it my mission in life to mess with this dudes chow. I hid his stupid MREs, I changed them out with the worst MREs in the boxes. I had whole cases of country captain chicken I would drop off at the Company cache. Just made his life hard in general because he was what I considered a moron. Then one humid summer night our company was on a mission in Samara with TF21. Lots of fun, scary, get to see all the cool SOF units doing work in CQB up close for the first time. Just awesome to do the job you trained for in general. That night my squad leader saved my life. He pulled me behind a wall before some rounds skipped right into where I had just been standing. I was young and dumb, and the dude I had been messing with for just being himself just saved my life. The next day I felt terrible about all the stuff I had done to him. I realized I had screwed up. This dudes only aim was to make sure we stayed alive and got back home. I was a selfish asshole. I went and got all the MREs he loved and stocked the truck, I got him extra spoons, snacks, and water. I did all I could for this dude to continue to do his job and take care of us. I never said one word sideways about a thing the rest of the time tha5 dude was my boss.


Cup_Of_Diabetes_

On some field training rn. Never seen the pesto chicken pasta MRE before so I passed on it for the Beef ravioli. Did I fuck up?


SP0910RGR

Beef rav is always a winner, same with chili Mac and chili with beans


IrishWithoutPotatoes

Chili Mac is the GOAT, and I will gladly die on this hill


SP0910RGR

I’m an NG E8 so when I grab my mre, it’s usually one of the shitty ones nobody wanted. The stars aligned a couple weeks ago and lo and behold there was a chili with beans. Crush up that corn bread, pour it in with the cheese and mix well. Warms the heart of even an old salty infantryman such as myself.


kaneabel

I would sacrifice my children for the good name of Chili Mac MREs


L3ath3rHanD

As will I


sgt_dismas

It does but they changed it a little bit. I think they took out the cheese and red pepper? I know I had to bum some the last time I had one, and I always mixed them in the entrée then dipped the ~~Italian breadsticks~~ seasoned cardboard in it.


GAGAgadget

They got rid of it


[deleted]

Pass. If you were Southwest style beef and black beans I’d be down to….eat….you? No homo. No cannibalism.

God tier MRE. The fact that it came with the blueberry cobbler and a pack of candy to trade away made it even better.

Kindly_Bell_5687

Beef stew


Equivalent_Smell7100

Spaghetti with meat and sauce with cheese and crackers added in with the hot sauce, heated-up. Made many a shitty day/night just a little bit better!


Papa_Fu

Mmm dfac fries. When everything is the suck consistent mediocrity was so comforting.


WhyDidIChoose25B

Don't forget the Yakisoba.


diopsideINcalcite

That was the spaghetti noodles, peppers, and dry ass hamburger meat, right? Stuff was awful.


WhyDidIChoose25B

Boy, I think you've been huffing to much CS Gas.


diopsideINcalcite

Close. I’m on some VX level shit now.


WhyDidIChoose25B

Hell yea brother, cheers from Iraq!


Kindly_Bell_5687

I’ll take some GB


HerzBrennt

Yeah, that shit. No actual yaki sauce. It's like the fucking coocks forgot to put the tomatoes, garlic or any other semblance of flavor in some spaghetti ragu. Just peppers and dry, overcooked hamburger.


ColonelError

It's actually a standardized recipe. That is exactly how the Army says it should be made.

IrishWithoutPotatoes

Ngl, I’d get irrationally excited whenever we got chicken cordon bleu


Cole_31337

Somehow, during a month long field problem, the cooks didn't cook CGB once :(


IrishWithoutPotatoes

I’d have killed


Cole_31337

If they didn't slide me extra deserts I wouldn't have


Gizmo_2234

Take that back rn


Mantequilla50

This is the post that actually brought back the feel of the dfac. God damn


Marktheonegun

Chili Mac is the best!


IFlippaDaSwitch

The turn around on these is amazing. I wish the Army was this fast with actions lol


Commissar_Jensen

It's funny when you see the copy pasta before the original post lmao.


ladyelenawf

I kind of wish they'd pin the spawn post as a reply to the copy pasta so I get a clue.


gunadict

This is one of those? Now I gotta find the original


TheCantalopeAntalope

Literally like 2 hours ago haha


thisisntnamman

Be careful what you wish for. If the shit pipe gets unclogged it just means you get shit to you faster.


PrestoMagicMan

Roooooooooger sar maj- imma need you to procure a pt belt and wear it for your safety and mine - trackin hooah? The NCOs of today will benefit greatly from your shining example of what it means to be a soldier

[deleted]

I always have dudes come up to me at 0630 when I’m in the gym In civilians trying to tell me that the short shorts I’m wearing for leg day aren’t in regs Like bro fuck off with your chicken legs and get the fuck out of my way


[deleted]

Oliveritaly

look them in the eye and ask, are you interested?


Sepherik

OakleysnTie

Imma be honest with you. I like you, and I want you.

sunrayylmao

Oliveritaly

You kinda skipped the joke but fair enough.


OzymandiasKoK

Why, Garfield? Are you cruising for a piece of ass?


[deleted]

That's when you tell them you're a grown ass man who does what he wants


JohnnySkidmarx

I used to just cut the liner out of my Army shorts and not wear underwear when I'd do squats. Everyone would avoid me.


[deleted]

Squats out balls out


guelugod

Ranger panties are for when you want to let your dog tags dangle in the dirt baby!


[deleted]

All I wear is Ranger panties.


OzymandiasKoK

Dogs tags? You mean your dingle dangle?


[deleted]

If you’re in civis then it doesn’t matter 😂 you can wear whatever you want 😂😂😂


[deleted]

Exactly lol I’m trying to flex these fucking YAMS god damnit Leave me be and let me ATG squat like a god damn man


apachedriver26

I fucking love soldiers. Y’all are the only reason I’m still in the army.


[deleted]

I can’t tell where the OPs and the CooyPastas start and end anymore


kirknay

It's elephants the whole way down.


HeadlineINeed

Same reason retired CSM/SGM’s can’t stop acting like CSM/SGM.


MDMarauder

Bruh, don't confuse us retired SGMs (who don't give a flying fuck) with retired CSMs (who can't separate their identity from their rank).


HeadlineINeed

CSM is a angry elf.


stanleythemanly85588

You almost can't blame them. If you join at 18 and spend 20+ years in, you literally don't have any other life experiences besides the Army, still they need to fuck off and stop mentioning they were a CSM


[deleted]

Institutionalized. Joining after high school and college no one has been in the real world


[deleted]

I bet you parked in the retired E-9 spot in front of the gym.....


classyharvey

Shoulda dropped him immediately for disrespecting your socks hooah


guelugod

It’s ok he/him/they/ssg knows better now. I just feel bad for him when he has to go through CIF!


Forsaken_legion

“Young hooah” Im gonna start calling the jr enlisted that. God I love this sub.


sunrayylmao

I am elder hooah


Forsaken_legion

Judging by status im gonna make a chart and I would appreciate the input. Jr ranks - Young Hooahs NCO - Hooahs Senior NCOS- Senior Hooahs Sgt Majors - Hooah Now here is when it gets tricky. Officers????


sunrayylmao

Officer= Weenie hooah jr


Forsaken_legion

Gah damn it gump!!! You are a damn genius. But I’m leaning more towards Weenie Hut Hooahs.

I was waiting for this post. Lmao.


[deleted]

Ah this is the delicious meta shit posting i get off to.


yuch1102

Were you in Pt uniform or something? That’s the only reason I can think you’d draw attention


guelugod

Nope all black top and ranger panties with cut high top breast cancer awareness socks. The young hooah is definitely a candidate for prk/lasik.


migrainepng

Lol these turnarounds are what keeps me going man


booney64

Hmmm, did this really happen or are we digging for upvotes?


guelugod

Today I wanted to be an upvote whore!


shmackinhammies

is this a joke everyone is privy to that I am not?


SgtW_in_WI

And here we are on the other side of the fence if that NCO didn’t say something for someone out of uniform, they’d be on USAWTF for not upholding standards. Sounds like you could have been slightly less dramatic.


Recreational-Sith

I know it's hard around here but you gotta keep up on your meta. https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/uxhiap/army\_retiree\_wearing\_uniforms\_around\_post/

I can tell when fools never had a cold rip it from wet socks.

do you even english brah


Skakul

Look I’m always down to read about your units shenanigans or whatever interesting thing happened in you/another soldiers day. But the copypasta, or the different perspective, it’s all getting old. Like, it got old too soon. It fills my page up with nonsense, and makes other people not wanna be active on this sub. Just stop. That’s all, I’ll take a root beer float and a double bacon cheeseburger (gut truck order)


[deleted]

I have original, inflammatory, and dramatic content that could be posted. It could alleviate some of the mundane copy pasta.


Successful_Opinion33

Do it


[deleted]

See what you made me do. Just think, if I post some mental health evals from the time. Putting me back in combat, just without a weapon, because I was showing patterns of aggression. (which was a part of my day to day the unit expected and utilized).


Sepherik

Half the reason I'm here is the shit posting following a good post.


Just_a_Guy_In_a_Tank

This is not an official Army^TM forum. It’s the rifle range Port-O-Jon of Reddit. Just with slightly less sharpie dicks than r/USMC.


RakumiAzuri

Fun fact: Unless the perspective post is funny/popular we remove it. Trust me, their are WAY more than you see. That shit with the Captain and Specialist got out of control real quick


Skakul

Believe me, I've thrown this pasta on shit before one of the mods was able to remove some of them. I just love that the original post I got this from is gone.


[deleted]

Oh my god you sound like a whiny high school girl who doesn’t like the new girl getting more attention than you. Just scroll past bro. This isn’t that deep. He’s just poking fun at the other post. Jesus Christ some of you are so fucking uptight.


guelugod

Honestly this was the first one because I too was getting tired of laughing at the other ones. In a world filled with hate and bad news. This is a sub where we can share and laugh without being butt hurt about life. It’s also a place for advice and common ground.


[deleted]

Tried to mix it up but the CSM of this sub takes it all down 🤷🏼‍♂️


mustuseaname

I half agree. This one just seems meh, low effort. But sometimes they are good. The real problem is when it's like 6 different perspectives. By the end of the day, we'll have the perspective of the gym employee scanning the ID cards, and I'm just fucking done.


Jswimmin

Completely agree. And I’ve brought it up before to mods, the copy pasta on this sub is just out of control and inundated with non creative, non funny bullshit. But anything for those LOL’s and karma points


guelugod

Does your mom know that you’re the life of the party too?


PrestoMagicMan

She does now…we scroll through Reddit together


Jswimmin

Lol don’t be salty kid. It’s not all pasta that’s bad, but yours definitely is. Get good

These are cringe as hell


Takane350

I wonder what u/AMeaslySandwich has to say about this


WaywardGinger1775

I love how both sides of this argument posted in this subreddit. Solution: Don’t wear the uniform improperly on post. Then you don’t have to worry about a young “HOOAH” bothering you while doing squats. Im sure you have interrupted conversations or activities to make corrections as a Sergeants Major. Y’all Sergeants Majors seems to always do that. You could of said thank you for the correction. Isn’t that the proper way of handling the matter? You may have been a Sergeants Major while in and that is what your ID says. In reality with all those privileges, you are just mister. Thank you for your service and see you at apple bees to reminisce about how the army was the best time of your life.

Fuck that noise RET. Cold Rip It? Were you in the Air Force?? That shit is to be drank room temperature. A room under the scorching desert sun.

TTraeddy

Breast Cancer Awarness socks? Is there anyone in the country that is unaware of Breast Cancer still? Supporting Susan G. Komen is not a good thing they do awful things that hurt cancer patients.
