As far as cooks go (especially those on ships) I have always felt they are some of the unsung heroes of the military! The hours and working conditions are some of the worst (other than combat of course), nobody ever appreciates what they can do with limited resources and they just seem to take crap from all sides!

Found it was usually a bigger issue in the Army than the Navy as they could give the cooks a hard time then run away!

Sounds like heaven compared to green powdered eggs and, potato like slices, and a slice of I think they called it "ham". I've had some of the c rats. They were defintely not the best thing :P Current MREs are awesome compared.

I will give you that one as I did a couple of months cross training with the US in Germany and the "fresh" rations they got were not even remotely close to what we would have!
Mind you our cooks had to feed a fraction of the number of people so could do a better job of it.

If you don't mind me asking, why did you separate at 14 years?
I worked with a Gunny who was a CH-53 mechanic on my last deployment. I knew I could always count on the Marines to have my back when we were on the road. The best food I ever had on a deployment was from an Army DFAC on an Air Force base. The AF contracts out their cooks, so the food all tastes faintly Indian. They make good curry though. The Army brings their own cooks, so soul food Thursday was freaking awesome. |

Because of my now ex-wife. No big deal, it all worked out in the end. Also, you can't draw a paycheck if you're dead. Lot of people I knew are no longer here.
