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. |

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"? |

I never, not once, saw ice or ice cream bars at AT. View Quote 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 |

View Quote The eggs are left in the basket and boiled, everything is boiled. You nailed it on the 1/3 pan logic! |

Wow, what are you cooks eating?

So you say you cook about 500 meals per day?
Do you have any comically large kitchen appliances/bowls/etc? |

Profile Ranger, Profile Ranger where have you been?
Peeling potatoes, busting suds, and cleaning out ovens. |

Take pride and do the best job that you can. The Army needs all it's cogs to function as a cohesive unit. Nothing wrong with working in a kitchen. Doggies need to eat too.

My nephew is/was an medic. They put him on a turret gun on convoys saying since he didn't have a job until people got hurt and that he would man a gun until such time as he had work to do.

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

Have you started throwing rocks for entertainment yet? If not, are you even infantry?

Quoted: I know who is getting chow for the retrans sites and I’ve been doing my best go hook them up. That’s probably the second worst duty out here. View Quote 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. View Quote Fuck cooks. |

Well heck this took a turn for the worse.
Severe stomach and pack pains all day, 5 hours at the medics waiting for a ride, some pain meds, now I’m at the local hospital getting cat scans for kidney stones. I’ve broken bones before that didn’t hurt as bad as this. |

Apparently it’s “only” a 2mm stone that has made its way through my kidney and into the bladder. That was good enough for the ER doc and I’m headed back to the field. Fantastic.

I served in the 161. There were good times, there were bad times. I'm glad I'm out.

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. |

Profile Ranger, Profile Ranger where have you been? Peeling potatoes, busting suds, and cleaning out ovens. View Quote 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. |
