LoweGear: You, me, and Ascaloth. Tier VIIIs in the training room. Need some pointers on the King Tiger, soon. :P
Yukari REALLY being as strong as she is kind of reflects the fact that she's lugging all of those 75 mm shells, which are not only huge but heavy. And being what she is, MREs are kind of expected. Though I wonder if Team Rabbit will find themselves out of depth in her company -- Aya sure was, in the manga at least.

Y'know, I really like Yukari; normally in anime you have the tagalong fangirl who can't pull their weight and gazes from afar... except that Yukari gazes first from afar, is then recruited into the Five Girl Crew, and proceeds to be awesome on a regular basis. ...also, I should note that last year, I was shopping around for MREs, with the intent of storing on a box in under my bed as emergency rations... Interestingly, supposedly American MREs have gotten better in recent years.

What I really liked about them was the chemical heaters they came with: just add water, leave them inside the MRE pouches for a few minutes, then the food comes out hot. Ah science

Now if we were talking about WW2-era rations however, ah, in that case a few folk in Twitter tell me that Kay'd be much less chipper in that case.

Probably pretty standard stuff for the individual rations nowadays in regards to juice powder, dessert and coffee and other content. Just the choices and amounts are different. I believe that some people have to watch out for certain allergies with some of the rations. |

The MREs I had in the 90s were not all that good (Desert Storm stuff). Better than K and C rations from what my father says. Reports and the few military people I've talked to that have being on campaign the last decade say they seriously improved the MREs by at the latest 2006 to be rather good (with a lot a variety). Though they say there are still a few that are seriously avoided aside from certain people with odd tastes.

I think it not that hard to learn about it.
I didn't know much about tank before watching this show. In the past, only four tanks that I knew were PanzerIV, Tiger1-2, and Sherman (from playing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault) I didn't even know that tank are divided into Light, Medium and Heavy or there is something called Tank Destroyer. Did you remember that one girl said in the second ep "Aren't all tanks the same?" Thatwas exactly how I thought about the tank in the past. BUT after some study, it becomes something fun to learn more about it.

Now this is a most amusing image:
Appears to be an official image showing Miho with Oaraider, Oarai's local hero. Now I want this to appear in the anime

There really is a wide variety of entrees now, and candy like M&M's are still there, as well as Rollos, Skittles and Chicklets. One sad note is that the little bottle of tobasco sauce is no longer a universal item, and is only included in the non-vegitarian meals. |
