And so far, they’ve done a great job of ensuring that anyone who needs them, can easily lay their hands on all of the MRE’s that they need. 

The two boxes supplied are drawn from the A and B menu lists.

Which were designed to ensure that there was a constantly rotating choice of food available for soldiers serving on the frontline and on training exercises.

And when you’re out in the middle of nowhere, knowing that you don’t have to eat the same thing over and over again can help to keep your spirits high and your attention focused on all of the things that really matter.

You’re not going to like every MRE that you’ll find in the boxes that Western Frontier supply.

But when you’re hungry after a hard day’s work, you’ll be ready to eat whatever you can.

Twenty four choices and each is palatable and ready to go whenever and wherever you need them.

That seems like a pretty good deal to us and an easy way to keep the shelves of your retreat, and your stomach, full. 

Pros

• While the inspection date on the boxes says that the MRE’s have been checked until two thousand and twenty, the date shouldn’t be treated like a best before guide.
   
• The MRE’s are designed to last and providing that they’re stored correctly, for at least five years after the inspection date.
   
• So that’s five years of peace of mind from two boxes of MRE’s.
  
  
• With a complete A and B menu, the twenty-four different MREs provided ensure that you won’t eat the same thing twice. Unless of course, you buy a couple of boxes and decide to pick and choose which MRE’s you want to eat and when you want to eat them.

Cons 

• One of the most common complaints that seem to plague Western Frontier is the quality of the product that arrives after it’s been ordered.
   
• Some reports are that the menu items in the boxes have been substituted for less desirable options.
  
  
• Or that the boxes are ripped and torn when they arrive and in some cases, the MRE’s appear to have been tampered with.
