We get solid family style meals, only MREs in the summer during field training. I don't think a Rhodes scolarship let alone West Point would be worth a diet of MREs.

I assume you get some hot meals even in the field? When I was in the Army National Guard, we'd get a hot breakfast, MRE for lunch and hot dinner.

I didn't think MREs were too bad. It hinged on the sides. JalapeƱo cheese? Skittles? Awesome. Jelly? Charms (knock off Lifesavers)? Boo. Do they still it Charms in MREs? I haven't had an MRE in almost fifteen years.
