It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

I got the Christmas lights on the house today. Needed the Deuce to get the job done. It's the only vehicle I have that can haul my ladder...

MRE heater...

Lifted from a site in another country but I thought since it was a use I'd never considered
http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthrea...rew-feeding-arrangements&highlight=30mm+range

"when I was a 2LT in a mech infantry unit (1/18 INF) we used to heat up our MRE's (meals ready to eat) by taking them out of the box, rolling up the foil packet and feeding up to six of them down the exhaust pipe of a M35 Duce. This was of course just running at idle, in about five minutes we would hit the throttle and blow all the MRE packs out (it really launches them!)....only problem was soot would cover the packs so you could not read the contents, so the Joe's would cut them open and the "you got mine, here's yours" would begin. "

When I was in we still used "C" rations in cans. We would put them on the exhaust manifolds of our tanks or Deuces to heat them up. Just don't heat them too much !!! They can make a real mess of things fast !
I still have my "John Wayne" on my key ring.
