The life of an MRE entrée is not an easy one. I sat, for 10 years in a dark, compressed, and often cold bag, amongst my brethren (the wheat bread, peanut butter and subsequent jelly packet, and the delicately packed tortillas.) We were brothers, not in blood, but in calories.

I’m a new E5 and I have a Senior NCO in our ops platoon that talks incredibly bad about people all the time. I’ve had multiple people confirm he’s said bad things about me (name calling, slander etc) despite me never working directly with him aside from in processing. I’ve directly confronted him about it, and he denied everything and simply says that they’re rumors and I shouldn’t listen to them,...
