[For Sale] British Army ration packs
I have been given a box of 10 x 24 hour ration packs which are of no use to me.

They seem to go for between £15-£19 each on the bay so I am asking £100 collected for them, or I can post if you arrange a courier?

I am located in Hampshire.

Its been quite a while since I consumed any of the contents so I can't give any pointers as to taste unfortunately.

I think everyone remembers biscuit browns though Big Cry

The new packs (these ones) are a dozen times better than the old ones - not that I see them very often as we only do ‘Hotels’ in the RAF 😂

Yup, the Navy navigate by the stars, the Army sleep under the stars, and the RAF select their hotels by the stars......

NO!

We went on an OP ex, so rummaged through packs just for the sachets.

Our section clown packed nothing but biscuit browns and ate nothing but them for a week. A month later and he had to go MO as his “bowel habits had changed” Next minute Bam PaP10! Not sure if related but I think he has Crohn’s disease.

Admittedly that same excercise I ate nothing but beef stew and dumplings and boiled sweets. I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/

They don’t have beef stew and dumplings.

Not sure if true but same goes for Kendal mint cake which I hated anyway but was fun to replace with hexamine, and wait for it to get bucksheed I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/

It's great how these posts can evolve.

Some very entertaining stuff on here - and I wasn't even in the armed forces Thumbs Up
