message: I moved the article to field ration for now because the term "combat ration" smacks of being a rather modern American term. Google searches support "field ration", but arguments to the contrary are welcome. Just please don't try to claim that we have to go by whatever the army calls it.

message: im glad that the information of the colombian ration its completely accurate. i was talking just last week with a soldier and he told me that the rations are exactly like the ones described in the article. i might add a translation of (Tamal, Envueltos, Lentejas con chorizo, Arvejas con carne, Garbanzo a la madrileña, Arroz atollado, Ajiaco con pollo, Sudado con papas y carne, etc) in the future. keep up the good work.

thread_title:  colombian ration very accurate 

message: I saw that under the France section, some foods are in French when it could be easily translated in english. Pomme-de-terre, as a example can be translated as Potato
. I consider this vandalism, as this is the English section of wikipedia. Can someone change this?
:Done it, but your view on vandalism is a bit extreme, some of the meals have no equivalent name in english, do you have an English word for paella, chili con carne, casserole ? You have a point, as it is possible to translate some of it, but in Wikipedia you always should assume good faith. 143.65.99.20 (talk) 10:21, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Iron ration 

message: I brought this up on the trail mix talk page, is there a connection between the two terms? They sound similar and the foods are used for similar purposes. This is just speculation on my part.213.212.75.70 (talk) 15:31, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Have you read this article at all? You are clearly confusing two quite distinct concepts. ORP or "Operational Ration Pack" is the official designation of the British military individual ration pack. "Gorp" is a slang term for a mixture of nuts, dried fruit etc. which is more formally called "trail mix". Trail mix is not a component of the British ORP. The closest thing to trail mix seen in modern ration packs would be items such as muesli bars. Roger (talk) 16:07, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There was certainly a trail-mix like substance in the 90's GP rat packs (well, a pack of peanuts and raisins anyway) - but it was never referred to as GORP in my hearing.  But yeah, certainly no connection.  62.196.17.197 (talk) 12:45, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  NYTimes review 

message: Just before I left the army in 2010 they had introduced a new menu with about twenty different kinds of ration packs, I think they've also got rid of the Yorkie bars in favour of generic ones that taste like dog turd, can anyone confirm these facts?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allthestrongbowintheworld (talk • contribs) 16:36, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed there is no Yorkie bar in the NYT article and photo referred to above. Roger (talk) 16:54, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The chocolate in military packs tends to taste a bit funky as it's often a hot-climate blend which stores better, but tastes noticably different from the civilian ones (at least in the UK).  That said, as the repeat post below notes, the last I heard chocolate was being phased out as it isn't compatible with the weather in Mordor.  62.196.17.197 (talk) 12:47, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  UK 

message: The information in the section regarding UK ration packs is not current; recently (I'm not sure when), the MoD changed the style of ration packs. One difference for example is that the current ration packs no longer contain chocolate as it melts in warm climates.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.158.107 (talk) 22:01, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
