  Recently my dad brought back some ration packs from camp, he said let me try and see if i can take army life, i kinda like them actually, got spicy meal, non-spicy, vegetarian also nice

  can i ask if these will be eaten everyday during BMT or what? is it healthy?

  hopefully nxt week my dad bring back the other "flavours"

  Pls i dun dare ask my dad, cuz i come from army family ... u know ...

  eh ? technically its an offence to bring unconsumed rations out of SAF camps.

  i like the beans and hot dog ones.

  hell, anything with the hot dog tastes good cold. my personal all time favourite is the chili rice with hot dog (or was it chicken sausage ? same thing i suppose). anything without usually sucks. they taste much better hot.

  try squeezing em out, mix with about 100-150 ml of boiling water. thats the optimum time + hot food combo.

  pasta packs usually taste good if you can microwave em (please remove from packaging first though). put a slice of cheese or grated mozarella and they taste pretty decent.

  the ultimate would be the barely nata de coco desert that really makes your day feel better. its nice. and if served chilled, twice the awesomness.

  wahh... i never had the luxury of that.

  but wont get oil and grease smell meh ? but the tonner engine is below tha driver cabin le.. haha how u get it there ?

   forgot to mention : the glutinuous rice combat rations have some effect on some people. some will feel like shitting immediatly after eating glutinuous rice.

  dont touch chicken pongtay rice. people go hungry rather than eat those. dont touch the duck ones either (should be phased out already, very unpopular)

  Chicken stew, ham and smoked sauce, black sesame glutinous rice and chicken porridge with groundnut are the BEST!

  I think the ham and smoked sauce one is the worst actually haha.. it tastes weird. Too salty.

   

  But no matter what flavour you eat, they all smell the same! That's scary..

  the packs are only eaten when u go for field camps (aka out-field)
  they are not healthy. their main purpose is to make you full and give u energy.. not really for everyday dining
  btw.. all the non-veg packs contains chicken if u noticed

  LURP rations? Cos i dont remember having to put water in the green packs before.

  
  Had a bad experience with field rations during a 9 day exercise, my sispec section decided to open all the issued packs and take what they want minus all the useless stuff to reduce weight. when i finally got into the pile, all i got was nine days worth of nonya curry rice and mutton curry rice. forget the weight loss diet programs, try eating that shit for 9 days. 

  Nowdays there are Oreo cookies, milo can drinks inside accessories pack.. To think last time having a chocolate biscuit pack filled with ice water to make a cake is great stuff..I wish enlisted later..

  eh ?

  LURP rations ? no lah, this is what you get when u have a happy platoon that chips in. everyone bring a tin of canned food. so when we go outfield we generally very happy. almost like party atmosphere.

  got lua lua, luncheon meat, sardnes, tuna.

  then always got some greedy bastards never bring then want to share the food. sometimes the atmosphere is so tense its almost like. wah.

  good food = good morale.
