Curt Well...the only good way to improve an MRE involves a shovel and soft soil...but failng that: For the Air Force you add a good hab sauce, a delicate but amusing Cabernet, a table cloth and a bud vase. For the Navy a bottle of Tabasco and a copy of "Hustler". For the Army a spoon (with instructions), and for the Marines a rock and a salt shaker.
