Hi Ronzo...

Why didn't I think of looking on MILDOCS.COM!

I found this in FM 8-10-14 (we are working on a MILDOCS.COM search for
FMs but is not public yet) and the following sentence from that FM
made me laugh:

    "Meals, ready to eat and T Rations are NOT AUTHORIZED for
     feeding hospitalized patients EXCEPT IN EMERGENCIES when
     other rations are not available."

> Available from several sources on the net and eBay, do a google search
>for T-Rations.

I tried this search earlier and again now, but I don't see ANY sources
listed for t-rations for sale.

I'll try to contact Bill Porter.

Thanks!
