Those crakers are the missing armor from the HMMVs.

I'd get ticked cause you couldn't break them by biting them and then get
tick when they finally did break into bite-sized crumbs.


BUT... preblend the peanutbutter (reconstitute the oil and soilds) and
mix with the coaco powder with about an oz of water... makes all the
other !@#$ worth the hassle.

I was in a POL unit (QM) and we could get a bit of gas in a shoe polish
lid and a few stones to make a small stove burner and heat water to heat
up the reconsituted meat product packets. ~ GOOD EATS ~


I know you may have questions for me,
but I may not be the best person to ask.

.... Don't play "stupid" with me... I'm better at it.
