OCs use it a lot like "here's some free chicken for you, there won't be any OPFOR in your AO until 2300 tonight" edit: but I've also heard instructors use it when there's some kind of evaluation coming up

It depends on how many UTAs it is and where you are. Take your standard 3 day MUTA 6. If it's at home station (the armory) they're only required to feed you one meal per two UTAs- one meal per day. However if you're in the field or away from home station (like visiting a post for drill) they have to feed you three meals since you can't feed yourself otherwise.

The joke is that we conducted an AAR and an improve we’ve had for months is to have hot food for lunch over MREs...so they ‘included’ heaters in the MREs to address hot meal concerns.

When I was in the TX guard they took us to Furrs Cafeteria or whatever in Austin and tbh it was probably worse than MREs and I'd have rather skipped lunch and left early with the 2 hours or so wasted

Not gonna stop formation from being at 430 tomorrow so we can be ready by 800 for jr ncodp followed by the whole unit idling while we wait for admin to finish doing paperwork because nobody left behind hooah

Not going to lie I busted out laughing when I read about the heaters. That poo poo is the most Army thing I’ve ever seen. It follows protocol and checks boxes to the letter and yet is completely devoid of any self awareness and generates a positive response out of doing Literally Nothing. I’m a very green 5 type so it bothers me a lot that this sort of blasé, tone deaf admin response is coming from the full timers who have total control over the welfare and supervision of a lot of folks who hate the Army but take pride in their actual job and value their relationships with their coworkers. I’m sure the climate surveys will have senior leaders aghast when they try to figure out why people don’t want to do AARs or feel like they’re listened to or taken care of. its curtains for Kevin fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Mar 3, 2018 |

Yo real talk it won't change but just start bitching out loud and do it the better way, like have someone's spouse sneak y'all in some takeout. You're still gonna get bitched at but your team will be happier, and you had a not MRE.

When I'm in the field, I prefer the MREs because I loving hate LOGPAC. A lot of my guys do too but I think it says more about the quality of the food than anything. There's an Army policy that says if you are eating hot food, then at least one meal has to be one of those god awful heater meals until you've been out for 14 days which is when you can have As twice a day. At NTC we just had one heater meal that no one ate.

Mind, most people go and buy lunch themselves. I just find this particular idea of the heaters to be a luxury addition in response to soldier feedback to be amusing in the extreme.

As a scout platoon at NTC or our BDE force on force at YTC we always ate MREs every meal because we were too far forward to reliably get hot chow from the CTCP. But during standard YTC rotations we pretty much always got hot breakfast and dinner, which was actually pretty good most of the time. Hot chow from the DFAC at JBLM is somehow almost always horrible for some reason. One night we were looking forward to hot dinner because it had been raining on us all day and when we started serving the food they pretty much just gave us chicken broth with a couple chunks of veggies or mystery meat tossed in. Our 1SG went full on nuclear and started calling and bitching up a storm to anyone he had a number for. but for whatever reason at YTC our hot chow was on point like 85% of the time

Yeah you have to be careful with sensing sessions and the like. In my unit in Korea a bunch of people were bitching that they didn't have enough time to eat between PT and 0900. It was like typical Army 0630-0730 PT so I didn't really understand it, but as a response to that the unit just moved PT up to 0530. lol

Not sure which I like better; those drill notes reminding you that hair/shaving and the patrol cap are part of the uniform or that you can't just show up in PTs for your APFT.

If we drill at homestation lunch is a catered meal from sone restaurant in town. If we're doing drill a a base, it's usually hot meals for breakfast and supper and mre for lunch (I let my guys go out and eat lunch in town if at all possible in those instances). Unfortunately the dfac is so terrible I sometimes prefer the mre.

My only rotation in NTC had me on one MRE a day for about a week. For reasons stated earlier. Also forgotten, portashitters.

Haha man I really don't miss PT tests. Like obviously the APFT wasn't completing a triathlon or anything, but god drat they attached so much importance to the thing and made life so miserable for anyone that failed (even if they were sick) that it was just so unnecessarily stressful even if you knew you were going to do fine. Like, leave it to the Army to make a few minutes of running, sit-ups, and push-ups more anxiety-producing than actual field training.
