I was in when the MREs were either in a plastic pouch or a box.
1984.
It must have been toward the end of the box meal era and they were using up old inventory on the recruits.
In basic training, circa '79, we ate C-Rats date stamped 1943.
 
Holy crap. You beat me by 5 years. Maybe the stuff we ate was of the same era ??



I came in right as the Army was trying to reinvent itself.
Remember the Be All You Can Be slogan?
I remember SNL had a skit on that. Showed soldiers mopping floors and raking rocks.
