I didn’t even know what that was till I asked the PFC cook who just woke up.  She said “that’s us.”  I don’t like that there are only two of “us” in here...maybe they think I already am.  No thanks.

Had an additional duty as mess officer for an fsc once.
Cooking in a CK? That's a lot better than the mkt. Also, we did AMA when in the field. Yall doing field sanitation? That sucked too.

Do they leave the eggs in the bags and just boil the bags? You should have seen the look on their faces when I asked why we just use the griddle to heat up pots of water and not actually cook with... you'd think they'd have to clean something other than third pans.

Wow, what are you cooks eating? Grilling hamburgers and hot dogs...or are you guys actually "in the field"

A couple of us fucked up in Iraq and ended up doing squadron KP for a week , and then a week of burning shit after one of the guys (4 of us) somehow threw his gas mask into the burning trash pit during pre lunch trash detail

Squadron ate a lot better than Troop/Co level did (most officers and E7 above ate there daily)

What, no G.I. grits and G.I. gravy?

I cleaned garbage cans and help some hog farmer by dumping the cans into his slop truck.  I learned that in El Paso, Texas  1982.

Do they still use the term "eating cheese"?

And you call yourself a Scout

When I was NG in 89-90 we would coordinate food drops or steal MREs/cereal etc from the cooks when we did our AT at Bragg.

Since we had 113s/901s they were packed with chow and propane. PSG had to have his coffee ready right after stand to.

Heck a few nights the NCOs would sneak off to post at night and hit the NCO club, while one SGT and us joes guarded the tracks.

They would bring back soda for us while you could tell they had been drinking.

Our Scout PLT always had a good time

It’s all prepared in basically huge mre type trays that are put in boiling water and then served.  We are feeding about 500 but it comes in a bunch of those trays.

Like the poster above said, the only things huge are the pots used to boil the water.

A friend was on the Forrestal. They didn't need sonar techs so he was a steward for the officers dining room. He ate well.

I did KP out of a kitchen trailer while volunteering in SC after hurricane Hugo in '89. The smell made me wish I was still cooking at Mc Donalds. Fuck powdered eggs. The locals appreciated it, though. Their shit was fuucked up.
The rest of the time the food was awesome...even in the field. USAF....flame away.

As a 31 series back in the early 2000's, I was constantly on retrans.  "Cpl Monadnock, take Pvt Williams with you, the Humvee, and a few antennas and set up a retrans site.  Don't let Opfor find you damnit, and if they do, Z out the fucking radios"

I liked setting up retrans stations right on the edge of the artillery live fire zones, no one thought to look there, so we'd go for a couple weeks without being found.  Hard to do at YTC or NTC though, easier with all the trees at JRTC. Opfor still found me, but it wasn't until the very end of the exercise, so it mattered little.  They "captured me" after I already Z'd the radios and made me drive them around in the Humvee.  They fed me coke and candy bars.  Worst opfor captors ever.

Like the title says, I buggered my knee and need surgery.  Because of this I can’t do any of the 11B things the guys are doing so I’m stuck in the camp kitchen with 6 cooks and a couple of other broke or hot pisser infantry guys who are stuck washing dishes all day.

My first time in the kitchen, anything you have ever wanted to know?

Right now the cooks wanted to take a nap after breakfast so I since breakfast I have almost completed the entire days work while they slept, I was a pog in the USMC but this takes it to a whole new level! One week down, two weeks to go.

Ugh. I havent had KP in like 10 years and it still makes me angry.

In Iraq we had cycles of 6 days of missions, then 3 days of camp guard.  Seems pretty good until you do missions for 6 days straight with little sleep, then guard rotations are 3 on 3 off for the entire 3 days, and then you are also put on KP and details.  Repeat for 15 months.

KP was pretty much 12 hours of nonstop manual labor hauling water or cleaning shit while getting talked down to by some E3 cook sitting on his ass. In our minds it was the worst thing that could happen to you over there and we were getting in firefights and getting trucks blown out from under us on the regular.

I reported to 1/34 armor, 1ID in 1992.  There was a E4 in the arms room who had a profile, always wore tennis shoes.

After about 6 months of being there we were drawing weapons one day and I said "You must have a helluva profile youve been wearing those tennis shoes since I got here."

The E7 who was in charge of the arms room was also  Vietnam Marine Corps vet said "Twardy show him why you got that profile." Twardy pulled up his BDU pantleg and his calf looked like a pork chop.

Turns out Twardy and another guy named Scott were standing up on the seats in the back of HQ232 watching the flanks as they were advancing into Kuwait during Desert Storm. One of the battalions tanks mis identified their Bradly and sent a sabot through the track. Scott had his heel blown off from what I  learned later.
