Who wants to earn $200?

My father spent most of his military career working in supply. I can remember as a kid we always had a kitchen cabinet stocked with the OD Green C-Rations. You know the story, they fell off the truck and throwing them in the trash wasn't an option in the 60's. I don't ever recall a family road trip, fishing trip, camping trip, or picnic without some kind of C Ration being involved. I'm certain there was a C Ration worked into our regular Sunday evening dinner if mom had anything to do with it, and as I recall I enjoyed them. Now as for MRE's, unless it's a post apocolyptic necesity, no thank you.

I hardly ever ate my MRE on night jumps (always started way too early so we missed lunch and dinner), so I saved them and would give them to the kids.  They loved the  crackers w/peanut butter or the cheese, and the dehydrated strawberries or fruit.  They still talk about it and my youngest is almost 29.
