crockett Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Love his videos! He eats and reviews MREs, many 40 plus years old. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2I6Et1JkidnnbWgJFiMeHA/videos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt 127 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I figure one day I’m gonna read his obituary. There are things in that food the CDC hasn’t seen in 80 years. Until then, though, I love his videos. Eating Civil War Hardtack was cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 The best Beef I ever tasted was when I was on the Navy ship and they served canned Beef (steam cooked in the can during processing). I loved that stuff! The cans were either from WWII or the Korean war, I don't remember now, just that I have fond memories of eating it. We used to have fresh Steaks and Roasts when we were in port. They were almost as good. On weekends we had "Open Galley" where we could simply fix anything we liked to eat that was in our "stores". Butter fried Steaks were popular along with a cake. Not a piece, but the whole cake that was delivered from the civilian bakery about 9 inchers. We were a small ship with a small crew. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWARREN123 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Brings back a lot of memories. Like the ham slices on the crackers. The coffee was stronger than regular and the candy and cigs were trade material. I use to get all the non filtered cigs, no one liked them but me. Some C-rats I liked, some I hated and some I could tolerate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt 127 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 https://m.wikihow.com/Make-Hardtack i made a batch after visiting a Civil war battlefield museum and seeing it. They are...dense. And, hard as a rock. A baggie with 3 of them has been laying in my kitchen drawer for about 4 years. Same texture. Same flavor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the other day I filled the car up with gas and while looking at the Cigarettes for $10 a pack, I told the clerk that when I was in the Navy they sold me Cigarettes for 10 cents a pack. I don't think they believed me. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hang out with him and talk about good old times. He went to the ER a couple times after being sick from bad rations. Back in the day he didn't even have health insurance. By now he has made well over half a million with his YouTube channel. With proper marketing you get about $7k AD revenue from 1 million video views. He has 116 million views. You do the math. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the crew wasn't as small at the end of your tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never had more than about 50. But it was good duty as long as it was peacetime. It was an Ocean going Minesweeper (MSO). The expendable type. Few wanted the duty. The Navy called it "Arduous Sea Duty", and NO ONE could make you stay on them for more than two years. I liked it. Side note: We were the first of our class. The ship was called the USS Aggressive. The President thought the name was to "aggressive" so all the other ships after were called silly names like "Agile", Adroit, etc. He thought we might give people the impression that we were "mean". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
