Type 06 PLA Rations

is it just me, or that they can do something about the English on the package? The placement is very awkward

Why the hell do they even need english translation on the thing the first place?

what flavor do they suppose to be?

awesome, but i doubt it'll be widely used until ten years later.

personal experience, doesnt matter what flavours you get, after three days you are going to hate it...the only reason we managed to swallow this stuff is because we are so friggin hungry

We would have gotten the chow one way or another. Even during the height of WW II it is my understanding the USN had great food.

And..I do respect anyone that served in any armed force. Just like General Patton. Besides the US Marines help defend the US Navy.

I think that's the idea. It's no good if the rations are too tasty and being consumed too quickly.

lol never thought of it that way...damn those bastards have been takin advantage of my strict preferences.
well where i serve we do have m&m or cookies as part of the ration. i just put the ration part in my tac vest and keep the yummy part in my pocket lol. when you are out there diggin trenches in the middle of nowhere this could be the only comfort.

You ever get the feeling that they're looking more like MRE's?



Even the packaging says "individual" on it.

On side note, I read that MRE's typically have 5 year shelf life. Everyone here should probably buy some emergency food and store it at home, in case of emergency. No, your box of instant noodles actually doesn't have long shelf life.

When I was young & living in TW, we had these hard biscuits for emergency rations. Not sure what kind of shelf life they had but it was still edible after 1-2 years. @_@;;;

For those in the US, check out Mountain House #10 cans. Freeze dried and will last for 20+ years. Kinda expensive though.

actually, that article have second part. I don't know why Chinasmack didn't translate it.

Hehe, think the PLA in the Mainland also hade same kind of hardpressed dry biscuits just a decade agao, might still be using it, I am not sure, awful taste, but gets you fed with a biiiiiig cup of water... since its the only way you can swallow it.
