Go for two days straight? Or not go for two days?

Either way it sounds unpleasant. (I assume you mean the former.)

I heard a story on NPR a few days ago where a soldier was telling about trying to find [link|http://www.depend.com/products/products_male.asp|Depend] undergarments just before the Iraq invasion. It seems that the soldiers were worried about NBC attacks and the chance of not being able to use the toilet for several days....

Cheers,
Scott.

Was referring to caffeine content

I'm not a coffee drinker, so I couldn't vouch for the taste. But the coffee drinkers I knew said the stuff they put in MREs was caffeine crystals with brown coloring added.

As to the not going bit ... as long as you avoided the barbecue items, and of course the beans, you just never got the urge. Matter of fact, the beans even had a warning printed on the side that you were not cleared for flight status for (IIRC) 24 hours after eating one.

MRE is much better than c-ration. - (folkert) - Nov. 7, 2004, 06:46:19 PM EST

Spend a year in the army of a Nordic country, and you learn all there is to know about drying socks.
