Soldier gets best MRE in box without cheating
Mmm hmm, sure he did.
FORT BLISS, Texas — Heroes don’t always wear capes. That’s certainly the case for Pfc. Carlos Ramirez, a soldier with the 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade. During a recent field training exercise, or FTX, Ramirez accomplished an incredible feat: scoring the best MRE in the box without cheating.
“I never thought this could happen to me!’ said Ramirez, a native of Tucson, Arizona. “I just reached in and grabbed one since my sergeant was watching. Next thing you know…I’m like the platoon hero!”
Inexplicably, Ramirez achieved the impossible. He selected a Chili Mac MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) without going through the usual methods of peaking, trading, or browsing.
His accomplishment was witnessed by his Team Leader, Sgt. Fredrick Hauk.
