You can actually google the code on it and the dates will come up. Having said that they are meant to last a long time. I would check.

As long as it doesn't show any sign of spoilage like swelling bag or bad smell, it will be safe to eat. MREs are sterilized by radiation, they can theoretically last for decades since there are no bacteria whatsoever in there.

honey holes are illegal in your back yard, unless you live in the country. (Where the bears are.)

Definitely a case of can vs. should. Real question is do you really want to eat an MRE when you don't have to?

In the infantry during the 70's, we had C-Rats dated from the 40's, were still good.

LCpl (Join to see) - Yea, like radar, it was top secret hush hush stuff. In fact the stations then didn't even have names, just numbers. The equipment we had a Cape Christian was built in 1953. I remember that because the first time I looked at one of the Nomenclature Plates I thought to myself, "Damn this thing is as old as me!" I'm not 100% sure where the original stations were, but I do know that there was at least one in Northern Canada, and one in Greenland. Pretty sure there were also stations in Nova Socia, Martha's Vineyard, and Montauk ....

PO1 Kevin Dougherty - A good nav aid but it had its hang-ups. My favorite chain started in Japan, link with 2 others. any meteorology disturbances would reflect on your navigation. We stayed below 10k and away from the oil burners for safety reasons. I sold 63W in 1995. LoranC was replaced with SATCOM. Thanks for the memories. George out.

LCpl (Join to see) - Hehe, I spent a year on that station in the Arctic. Half the time we were making a best guess where our other stations were because of the atmospherics. e-LORAN would have taken care of much of the differential issues, at least close in to airports, harbors etc, but alas the administration decided in 2008, (just after the USCG spent several hundred million upgrading equipment to begin implementing it of course,) decided it was obsolete and pulled the plug. The frightening part is if our system was for any reason compromised, be it natural or malicious cause, we have zero alternatives to a system that modern society depends on, trade, banking, communications, electrical and other utilities, you name it, it likely depends on GPS for precise timing if not navigation. Society would quickly come to a screeching halt.

PO1 Kevin Dougherty - I didnt know which model was the last, but I knew it was on its way out. Wify, and I visited the USS Barkley docked in Montego Bay about 2000, She was amazed on how much room. Had the same model as the windjammer we sailed on a few years earlier.
I did my cold weather training at Pickle Meadows Marine Base. WOW, was it cold. 2 weeks. You gotta love that stuff, Ill stick to the desert, and tropics. Lots of things I could tell you but RP says keep it simple. Wife tells me "me, and my pin Talks to much".
