T-rats where the B rats of the 90s.
But weren't invented till the 2060's
T-rats are a real thing. They exist now. They do not do what people where joking about but they are real. It is what the B-rats in the 90s where called.
The Clones are coming you shall all be replaced, but who is to say you have not been replaced already.

I may debate canon and RAW, but the games I run are highly house ruled. So I am not debating for how I play but about how the system works as written.

Could have sworn the E-rats became the B rats. From what I read T-rat was a description meaning tray based rather than a designated like UGR-B
They may have existed in the past but technically they do not exist unless some sicko is hoarding some. Current inventory includes these.

Believe it or not old field rations are still around i saw some one selling wwII c rats on ebay the other day. In addition there are some that made it into military museum collections.

bit of both actually. they rarely actually eat anything that old (though taste testing relatively fresh MRE's from around the world is a popular subject) but just opening them and showing off the contents is popular. youtube is full of reviews of both sorts.. but one good site to visit is here: http://www.mreinfo.com/ has a forum with lots of reviews and discussion, and articles about some of the more common MRE options from around the world.

Most of the space given over for the APCs etc with the troop seating along the sides in flip down net seats or something.
IIRC, the C17s I flew in had the seats bolted onto racks that went in the center where the cargo would normally be during cargo flights. The C5s I've been in had passenger spaces up above the cargo area. I don't remember seeing any with net seats along the sides, but it's been over a decade since I was in one. I imagine if the Air Force wanted to use the C5s for just passengers they'd have the same setup as the C17s did.
Your C5 picture is another c130 picture. I doubt the largest of the three which can carry an Abrams or the fully assembled primary fuselage of a c130 would be that small. And should be more like this https://goo.gl/images/cYyzpx The upper deck which is narrower has rear facing seats arranged 3 and 3 for 10ish rows

worrth remembering that with a standard load that it carries multiple Mk.V APC's. whether said APC's have infantry inside at the time is unspecified, but might well be the case.

Those actually exist in the Schlock Mercenary webcomic verse, because apparently after a certain point those MRE become BETTER and BETTER with age so that by the time of the comic they're a highly prized and sought after commodity.
Fair warning: I consider being called a munchkin a highly offensive slur and do report people when they err in doing so.

It's 'canon', not 'cannon'. A cannon is a big gun like on pirate ships, canon is what you mean when referring to something as being contained within one of the books such as how many dice to roll for a stat.
All this back and forth about MREs, A Rations and B Rations...
Can someone tell me about the Army's MDC body armor capable of taking 6-20 direct hits from an AT-4?
SMH...
The stuff you see on here.
How about this, someone tell me what the inside of a Coalition Mark IX MLRS looks like given that its external dimensions are 20 feet (counting the launcher, so you could make it about 12 feet for height) by 10 feet by 33.5 feet...
I mean, there must be some pocket dimension inside given that it carries 160 missiles!!!!

I don't think anybody is very good at managing dimensions at Palladium, or somehow I've missed them due to all the rest. One original run Robotech module for the Invid Invasion setting has a transport supposedly carrying pairs of experimental veritechs when the transport couldn't handle more than a single pair just from volume alone yet supposedly had something like eight vehicles inside of it which was also way beyond it's weight limit for transport (and that doesn't even count the volume and mass of missiles and other ammo for said vehicles).

Size and logistics is not something PB is known for. Isnt there a transport in triax that is smaller than what it carries.
