Before United States military members train for combat, they have to fuel up.
We traveled the country to find out how the US military feeds service members, from mobile field kitchens to military academy dining halls. We also asked a New Zealand Army soldier to review US military MREs (Meals, Ready-to-Eat).

@@KennethJones-to1ig i dont understand. Are we now so hyper-sensitive that we cant describe a white person as white or a black person as black? Its okay to acknowledge and celebrate our differences. We dont all have to be the same. i mean, we are talking about a PHYSICAL description here, arent we? A physical description, even a short one, is supposed to put a picture in your head. So unless it makes you uncomfortable to picture a black person in your head i dont know why that feature is best left ambiguous.

The best food in the Navy is on a submarine (got to try it once when my uncles sub was in drydock in Scotland). Best food in the Corps, 4th Battalion Chow Hall on Parris Island. Been to a couple of Army DFAC's and they are "meh", but their breakfasts are top notch. You can get your eggs anyway you want, and omelets to order, every type of breakfast potato and meat. Never been to an Air Force hall, but considering how spoilt they are, I would expect they'd have steak and lobster dinners every evening. I get just a bit salty about the AF.

First SG and asked to get out because they were starving to death. I was very athletic 6ft. 186lbs of muscle when I entered, and was only 145lbs when I talked to the CO. The CO pulled my records then told the drill Sgt. that I was to be the first in the mess hall and to let me eat until I was done. The first day the drill sgt. then realized how much I ate and realized that he was starving me. I went through the same crap in AIT. I finally got enough to eat after I went to me permanent duty station. No I was never fat. I always scored over 300 on my PT Test.

for those that dont know you heard the soldier say it was covered by his BAS which is Basic Allowance for Subsistance which is basically 3 meals per day per soldier. I was in Ft. Knox in the winter (same barracks area where they shot the movie stripes)

Tbh. One of my favorite memories of my time in the Army as a 68W was the food and living in open bays. Never before was I able to enjoy such a variety of food before I enlisted and I loved every meal. Slagel for our three hots and we'd work out at the gym by METC DFAC in our freetime. During our cycle we switched to METC DFAC. Rocco's was top tier and METC took silver, but Slagel definitely has a soft spot in my heart to this day. I learned quick to get in good w/ the cooks and it paid it off in the form of being able to raid the DFAC for as much of dinner (fried chicken w/ greens) as myself and a few of the other medics could carry. ☺️ Military cooks will always have my absolute respect because, while everyone loved us Whiskeys, the cooks IMO were the underappreciated MOSs. Besides the medics, the only guys who loved them were the salty af former combat arms guys/anyone who deployed during the Invasion of Iraq/The Surge days. For all the cooks past and present. You have my undying love and respect. 🤙

Largely the support & dedicated workers in the background are overlooked. Thank you, Mess Hall Army, for keeping our warriors filled & fit. That’s very hard work, our school systems operate in a similar fashion but of course in a much smaller scale. It helps that employees are long term. God bless each of you for your dedication. ✝️🐾💖☮️🌺

This is foreign to me. All I remember back in the 60's is when I sat down to eat we were called to attention and ordered to clean up and throw our food away. Not one bite at the table. Only a few bites on the way to the trash. We would get in trouble throwing food away until we learned.

I was a USAF Reservist back in the early 1980's. I swear that's the same spaghetti there at the 1:05:23 point ! Really good spaghetti, always loved it. Actually, the Air Force always had really good food. Even at Lackland (BT)..... Surprisingly good. The funny part was that you had to drink two small glasses of water before you could sit down at every meal. Pretty much a way to keep everyone at least somewhat hydrated, and it was a bit hot there in July/August. GREAT times, though. Loved it. 40 years ago here next month. Sad. Wish I could teleport back.

46:00 Lieberkäsä. I died when i heard that one. Ahhh, this is great. 🤣 For those who want to know. It roughly translates to Livercheese. But it has no liver in it. The word "Leber" in this context is a relic from old german and means Laib which translates to loaf. And Käse is in this context an old bavarian designation for an edible mass. So in general it means "A loaf of an edible meaty mass". It is very delicous in a bun with some sweet mustard on it. I love it.
