    Field test

    なんとか一本アップロードできました！
    ページ数は少なめになってしまいますが、月に１～２本上げられるよう調整していきます。
    それと、FANBOXでの支援や直接のPixivメールにての感想、とても有難いですし、励みになります！
    おかげさまでPCの更新が出来そうな感じになってまいりました。あとは時間が出来れば、買い替えてカラーの練習とアップロードが出来そうです。が、この時間が曲者ですね(´・ω・`)
    FANBOXの方も一年ほど経つので、支援して頂いている方向けに何か投稿出来ればと模索しております。

    なおＭＲＥ(レーション)の類ですが、米軍のテストでは湾岸戦争前あたりに、実際に一ヶ月やったとか。
    旧タイプだったので評価は散々だったらしいです。
    また自衛隊の戦闘糧食も食べ続けるのは想定していません。
    東日本の震災時、脚本担当は大丈夫だったのですが、先輩隊員が現場から駐屯地の車両移動中にリバースしてしまった事がありまして、どうも缶飯の油？ が胃腸に合わなかったっぽいですね。
    とはいえ、凄まじい死臭と腐臭が漂う中で臭いのこもりやすい３トン半の荷台で飯を食べていたので、一概にそれだけが原因ではなさそうでしたが。

    Depends. Is expired fruitcake a thing?

    Jokes aside, I do know that MRE can be expired, depending on contents. Like, within our local MRE its quite wide range - from liquid honey/jam sticks (about year or two) to these dreadful, theoretically dateless, crackers which can be used as either burning fuel in particularly nasty field situations or temporarily patch a hole in BPV.

    I've tried some MRE's - awesome and filling stuff when you need "compact" calories, but IMO, regardless of contents or maker, all that food ain't good for health in long term.

    expired MREs can be subjective... after all there's a guy that ate meat from the Baoer War and a few years before WW1 in the form of pemmican (yes EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THE REFERENCE) he's still alive and kicking, and then there's not so well made MREs that they perish 4-6 months after production using 21st century technology. and then there's the 1970s-1980s questionable MREs, I admit I mainly view the US lens as they were most active in MRE development as at least during the early years of the vietnam and korean wars everyone were still using US' 1940s MRE surplus.

    which means that WW2's use case would mean almost everyone used field kitchens or there are MREs lost to time but we still do know Germany's Scho-ko-kola can last equally well

    Ironically, one of the few that DID get him sick was a Ukrainian ration that was still within its expiration date. That and the PLA Type 13.

    I tried to hunt down the video what I got was a 2014 Polish ration that went horribly bad wish he had continued and looked for the smoking gun that made it bad probably jam leaked
