Your mission: Take a bite. Give your honest reaction.
Ever wondered what's inside those famous military meal pouches? Join the MVRC for Field Rations & First Reactions, an MRE taste-testing adventure during Veterans Week!
MRE stands for Meal, Ready-to-Eat, but the real question is: are you ready to review? Stop by to sample military field rations, compare bites, and decide which foods deserve a thumbs-up and which deserve a truly memorable facial expression.
Whether you've eaten more MREs than you care to remember or have never opened one, bring your curiosity, your sense of humor, and your most honest food-review energy. Swap stories, meet the MVRC crew, and get a taste of an experience many service members know well.
Location: Kirkhof Center Lobby Time: 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
The rations are ready. Are your taste buds?
