Hmm, I never heated my MRE's.

I always saved the heaters for making bottle bombs.

I also got in a lot of trouble during a field training exercise for that. Apparently, CO2 bombs aren't allowed in simulated hostile-fire training exercises. :lol:

Well it was 1974, I was with my platoon at Parris Island and we had just finished a 15 mile force march. The DI's where passing out C-Rats for everone to eat. We were scarfing them down, and I was finally finished. Was relaxing a bit, one of the few times you had to relax in Marine boot camp was during chow time.

Well I flipped the can of pork and beans I just ate over.... and the date was July 19, 1956.... LOL.... that was the day they were packed... that was also my birthday.... so they were only 18 years old by the time I ate them... OOOOORAAAHHHHHH>>>!!!!!

I was in a Field Artillery unit several years ago, and during a long field exercises we happened to be set up near a porta potty (we were so happy). Well one guy thought it would be funny to drop an MRE bomb into the porta potty and ended blowing crap all over the interior of it. He almostlost his life for that.

It was very close to that LOL. I mad as hell, I mean damn, there are just some things you don't mess with, and after several weeks of cat holes a porta potty was like Paradise.
