What's a K'tang?
This new year of Cadets are going be soft.
At least remind them that the Gum is the best part of the MRE.
The US Marines have NOTHING on KDF officer training. The Empire can't afford soft or incompetent officers. Suriving to comissioning leaves warriors in a state of being ready to handle pretty much anything theuiniverse throws at them because if they can survive officcer training the rest of thier career should be a cake walk. After all, after graduation they're permitted to shoot back!
He said MRE, which means "Meal, Ready-to-Eat".
And they're not just used by marines anyway.
Instead of a more general term like "field rations" he just used an acronym that he as an American would be familiar with.
In my case that would have been Einmannpackung (EPA) but since it's a German term (and it conflicts with the acronym for the "Environmental Protection Agency") I would not have used it.
Dude, you need to lighten up a tiny bit.
We know from Star Trek 4 Klingons have food packs on their ships.
There is also a line in the "The Left Hand of Destiny" novels about a Klingon Officer who has to run to the next bush for "number two". Worf mentally remarks that some people can't handle the high-protein rations that well.
So it's reasonable to assume cadets would learn to live with them under most situations where hunting is not possible and replicators are not an option either.
I just can't picture Klingons with gum, for one they probably don't have something like this and it would probably look as much out of place as Jean Reno and his team of agents did chewing gum in "Godzilla".
And you've still not answered my question, what is a K'tang supposed to be.
The only thing I could find was that this was tha name of a Klingon ship.
Did you mean a "D'k tahg"?
http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/D%27k_tahg
The gum is a laxative.
I can only imagine a Klingon laxative and the first time effects it would have on a squad learning to eat thier first MRE's, klingon style.
You can't tell me some very amused DI's are not off to the side trying to hide thier laughter.
-"Shut up and eat up!"
The gum is not a laxitive.
The only solution to the " low residue " is by drinking alot of water.
You need to drink water anyway.
What Makes You Think You Rate Blood Pie ?
Who said you could Think, Cadet.
B..b..b...but my father is K'maccaroni the infamous food-ciritc.
When he really hates the food in your restaurant he'll challenge you to a fight to the death.
He lost three fingers, six teeth and an eye but he's the darn best food-critic in the Empire!
He taught me all I know about food.
And he also said to me "think before you drink".
And I was just about to wash this pie down with this bloodwine here...I think it's bloodwine...could also be prune juice...you can never be sure with these mystery-meal rations.
Not Your's
You are Here to become Officers of the KDF.
Not " food critics ".
Just for YOU , Cadet. YOUR next instruction block will be " Wilderness Survival ".
A TWELVE WEEK LIve Fire Exersize to TRAIN you how to live in a combat enviroment.
You Required Uniform for This Block Of Instruction ;
The Academy Uniform .
The Weapons You were Issued upon entrance to This Academy.
One [1] Canteen.
Rations for 24 hours.
Nothing Else.
YOU Will Be Ready to Move in ONE ( 1 ) HOUR !
Failure To Comply Is A Offence Of Regulations.
Offence Against Regulations Are Punishable By " Summery Jugement of A Superior Officer ".
Is this the resourcefulness execise where they are dropped onto a breen garrison with only a Toothpick and coordinates for retrivial and must bring 10 "trophies" back as proof?
Well, you know "Gagh is always best when served life", means it is okay to eat it dead too it's just not preferable.
And as I recall the purpose of MRE is to keep you fed and preferably healthy not fulfiil some culinary wet dream like the ones my alter ego i this thread has.:)
yes
ten is the minium standard for completion for this block of instruction.
Sigh.. I miss those heady and hectic akademy days. They are in for such a fun but ultimately bloody time.
