Military Rations - Written Saturday PM, posted Sunday AM

Hmmm, tonight (Saturday), for supper, I opened one of the two military rations that was given to me in my welcome kit. I'm sure you are wondering exactly what is contained within a military ration. Well, you'll be glad of this post then.

Here is a picture of the military ration that I opened "Supper menu No. 6 - Cheese Tortellini with Alfredo Sauce"

Here is a list of the items (starting from upper left):

- A box of sliced Pears

- A box of cheese tortellini with alfredo sauce

- A piece of bread, sealed (with a warning to not eat the desiccan packet, good to know)

- A peach juice sport drink (in powder form)

- A packet of raspberry jam

- A packet of peanut butter.

- A packet of Tabasco sauce

- Some pepper

- Some salt

- Two gums

- A mint chocolate chip candy

- Two packet of instant coffee

- Two packet of sugar

- Two packets of coffee whitener

- A napkin (very important, one must always remember their manners)

- One mixing sac (to mix either your juice or coffee)

- A survey sheet to indicate your level of satisfaction (hopefully, someone is listening)

- A package of bear paws snack (peanut free, can't risk allergies)

- One cup-a-soup package

- A towelette

- A pack of matches

- One spoon

Well, there you have it folks! You always wanted to know (okay, okay, maybe you've never wanted to know, ah well). For now, I'll sit back and enjoy a not-so-bad cup of coffee.
