Although MCIs were simply second generation C-Rations, and were called C-Rations by everyone, they were different rations. Considering the packaging of the Newport cigarettes in your photo, I’m fairly confident that’s an MCI unit.<br />I’ve consumed MCIs and MREs.<br /><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="305380" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/305380-csm-charles-hayden">CSM Charles Hayden</a> may have actually consumed real C-Rations, but I’ll leave that for him to confirm!Response by LTC Stephen C. made Feb 25 at 2018 4:18 PM2018-02-25T16:18:31-05:002018-02-25T16:18:31-05:00CSM Richard StCyr3394515<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Our C rations still had the cigarettes when I came in.
