A Marine that doesn't drink coffee also known as the Elixir of Life? I thought all Marines drank coffee out of a 55 gallon drum, always had a stub of a cigar in the corner of their mouth, used 550 cord for floss, genuflected when Gunny walked by, and looked down their noses at Airmen.
Not a coffee drinker??? Say it ain't so.
How heavy is your basic mess kit (both pots/lids, both cups)?
Well, you got most of it right despite what the chair jockey (Skunk) said. I do use the instant coffee packets that come in MREs. I just pour them down my throat and wash it down with a 55 gallon barrel of diesel.
I am not sure what it weighs. I would guess 1-2 lbs without the rice and stuff in it (just the metal stuff).
