I don't know anything about this but found it funny anyway. Some of you will completely understand and I thank you for your service.

Mattis signs order formally recognizing Jalapeno cheese spread as currency at all DoD facilities

Hahaha.... "A few critics, comprised mostly of airmen, had no idea what an MRE was or why jalapeno cheese spread was such a big deal."

As a former Airman, I resemble that remark. But yes, I have had MREs in field conditions. Occasionally.

Semper Fi and great plan Gen Mattis, but leave the E-4 Mafia & the LCPL Underground alone.....they run the Corps........

Once again, I have no experience with this. I'm just a nasty ol' civilian. Thanks to everyone who served, especially you Marines (our son was a Marine, he sent me this) and even you airmen @Anna C. You've done more than me.

MREs. Meals Ready to Eat, are foods the grunts, ok infantry (those that carry guns and go out in the field on purpose @Anna C ) carry when they are training or actually out on a mission. They are portable, and some things inside them are far better, and more desirable than others. When I was eating them, gorilla cookies were the bomb. If you had ramen noodles in your ALICE pack, you could trade a package for the cookies. For the record, ramen & tabasco could make just about anything edible. That is, with the exception of ham loaf or ham & chicken loaf, those were the slimy version of fruitcake, the one thing no one wanted....

@Michael Scott, I recall sending tabasco sause to the kid when he was at Camp Blessing, Afghanistan. Hope he got the good stuff for it.
