Dehydration is one of the top killers of Iraqis. Living on an IA FOB where resupply is sometimes slow to come, or missed because of missions, we fall victim to their food constantly. About 50% of the time, we eat MREs, fresh baked bread, or have to go to the Iraqi DFAC. Once every two or three trips to the Iraqi DFAC, someone is down for 24 hours with the runs and dehydration. Tuna and crackers, gatorade mix, and meal replacement bars and protein shakes are a lifesaver.

On that subject, anyone know of good meal replacement powder that won't cost an arm and a leg?
