Why are the squaddies dumping so much food? What are they eating instead? Maybe they just don't like the packed lunches they're given, in which case a bit of market research is needed!
I'm not sure, I will find out, but I do know that until the skips were locked several of us used to live quite well for free,
the food they are given is pretty good from what I know, not the sort of stuff that you would turn your nose up at.
the normal packed lunch is, 2 sandwiches (thats 4 slices of bread) 2 meat pies (supplied by Peters Pies) fruit, chocolate bar (and a drink I think)
most of the squaddies stop at the garage between the camp in Sennybridge and the ranges 6 miles down the road in Trecastle, where they top up on pies, chocolate and biscuits etc etc.
when they are on maneuvers and the 24hour ration packs are in use, a lot of them don't even get opened, check out the prices they sell for on ebay or on camping web sites, it's taken a while but that's what I've found out so far.
ps the 24 hr ration packs are available in all sorts of flavours including vegetarian and even kosher I think, have to check that one out
