I once went 10 days on MRE's, and it was a month before I was right again.

I know from personal experience they can't pay enough to eat that crap, Much less for free.

There was some sort of peach cobbler dessert that was one of my favorites. They can send a box my way. |

But the nagging worry of what they do to bowel movements is the limiting factor for me. For the study, it would be that, and that I am not burning enough calories to eat that much. I guess if they didn't expect me to eat multiple meals a day I'd be OK. |

I keep some around as a "last resort" food and keep a couple in the truck in case I get stuck somewhere out in the boonies in the winter. I couldn't eat them for three weeks unless forced to.

MRE's might seem lousy until you've had to go a while on HDR's. After that an MRE seems like a private event at Nobu. |

Some of the joes always laughed at me for bringing ravioli cans and tuna on mission. They weren't laughing after the first week. "Sarge you got any ravioli left?"
I learned early on that you won't shit for days and when you do it's ridiculous. |

Honestly do they need to do that? We have been at war for what 14 years and there are hundreds of thousands who have subsisted off of nothing but MREs for months on end.

I think that if I'm in the field for an extended period of time, I wouldn't want to have to worry about finding a place to shit while I'm getting shot at and tried to be blown up.
I've gone on extended hunting/camping trips and it's nice not having to lean against a pine tree in 30 degree weather with 30mph north winds. |

They will meet with you at home/work at least 3 days a week to collect fecal and urine samples? And not be trying to lose weight.
All for $200. So who's in? That's 2 years of gold membership and you'll have a legitimate poop thread to talk about. |
