The food is a dang good second reason to stay first time I've had a ribeye in a cafeteria, was great too. Medium rare prefect bit of char too


Making me wonder if I should have joined the navy instead of the army when I was 17

Knew the butcher that did grocery runs to the barges. He told me no burger goes to the barges. It is well known the Navy feeds way better then the Army as well.

and your small enough the bunks on the ship would have seemed roomy.

Moral on a ship goes bad without good food
Always ate too much and easy to gain weight

Dang that looks good.

Nice! What’s the yellow stuff?

My CG ship once bought lobsters and crab from a boat we boarded on the Grand Banks. It was in 1967 and we were on lobster boat patrol to keep peace in the high seas. We inspected a few boats every day.

Not sure if the military can feed their members fresh caught non-inspected seafood now.

We had over 100 members on the ship. Two Philippine stewards picked all the crabs for our evening meal. The lobsters were bought in a pool funded by some crewmembers. The cooks froze and wrapped them for our departure date.

Yellow stuff looks like squash to me one of my favorites

Fat people float better.

I'm negatively buoyant j sink like a rock regardless

As a young Navy guy everyone was assigned a temp duty while on the ship. This was my first time and I was assigned to pots and pans. Nasty nasty job. It was a short deployment so no big deal. Well one day a Chief comes in and went around the galley asking what everyone thought of their temp assignments. When he got to pots and pans, he asked me and I said there was no place I’d rather be! I told him I have to be somewhere doing something and it was just tradition. He told me to ditch the gloves and apron and follow him. We left the galley and went up, and up and up, until we reached the a hatch labeled the Admirals Mess.
I was now assigned to the admirals mess, lol.
Talk about good food!!! Lawd have mercy, steak, lobster, crab legs, you name it we had it. Bacon and pancakes every morning for breakfast with a side of filet mignon. Good ole greasy hamburgers for lunch (whatever you wanted you got) and the above mentioned for dinner!
All that because I told a Chief I was happy doing the crappiest job there was, lol.

Oh yeah, for those that don’t know, Navy stands for
Never
Again
Volunteer
Yourself

Fat people stay warmer longer in cold water too.

I like my stake well.

Now all hands muster on the fantail for a "grill & chill"

Eat more fat.
Seriously Wolfdog,looks like a good job you got.
If you really like it and stick with it,you will climb the ladder later on.

I can only speak for a sliver of experience in the army.

Army food, and everything else sucks.

Get the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) out, and take your life back
