In 1969 in basic the cooks were not very much liked. They liked to go to the front of the endless chow line and grab people to be "servers" - never thought about going to the end. One kid kept saying that the did not feel good - the cooks had just placed a huge serving tray of "chop suey" on line and this kid heaved right into it! Man were the cooks mad! They had to dump it - too many witnesses.....

My late Father joined the Marines in 1951. He was 17 years old and weighed 99 lbs. He said the DI’s looked him over and told him that “Anybody as scrawny as him needed to be in the Army!” They then sent him straight to the mess hall. In my Fathers words. “Those folks in the mess hall, fed me like a king, put weight on my bones, and helped turn me into a Marine.” He was grateful to them for the rest of his life.

When he tapped his coffee cup on the table, we had to duck out. The Food Service Specialy School was using that main chow hall as their lab. Some of the chow was great, but we had too little time to finish. I lost about 15 pounds in basic training. Another time in 2nd Phase, at the San Onofre training range, we were told to get spiffed up, put on our best brass, break out our good starched utilities and Cadillac boots, as we would be inspected by a Col after lunch, and then we'd see some training films... Also we were told to go ahead and get whatever looked good in the chow hall, we could even drink sodas. We'd worked hard and deserved it, they said. I had BBQ ribs, beans and french fries. And a real Coke, with Ice. We formed up on the pavement outside the chow hall, our bellies full and contented. Waiting for the flicks to start. Just then -- PLATOON ATTENTION -- BY THE RIGHT FLANK MARCH -- DOUBLE TIME and we took off, our Cadillacs gleaming like a blur of black crayolas in the Southern California sunshine. We ran over hill and dale, thru brush and rocks and up and down some more hills -- for about 3 or 4 miles -- until we came to a small green hut in the middle of nowhere. We were then issued gas masks and told to go inside singing, ''From the Halls of ...'' etc -- and then take off the mask. We then cleared the mask and put it back on. After the Platoon Commander was satisfied we knew how to wear the mask, we could go outside and pull off the mask. We all puked. Also any nasal build up came snorting out. FunTimes. Semper Fi

A former food service specialist from the US army appeared on the 4th season of Hells Kitchen. She had left at E-9, I assume that is a sergeant major. I'm not familiar with American rank structure. The veteran had served over 25 years in her role. Unfortunately, due to the carelessness of another contestant; she suffered second degree burns to her hands and wrists. This prevented her from continuing any further.

I was in the Coast Guard and 90% ate in the "community" as there was no mess. My late father who was in the Army WW2 said that the Navy had the best food, the Army had the best coffee and drank his "Army"coffee the rest of his life. And that spoiled me...

1st Batt Delta Company PI 1997. I liked the chow hall food. Some of it was under seasoned but the food was cooked to perfection. If I could go back to 1997 to the recruiting office, I would have choose to be a cook instead of logistics.

That food looks so good. Nice to know the Leathernecks are eating well.

I remember the chow hall coming back from the field. They could cook dog poop and I'll eat it with a smile. Lol. I had a few female cooks that 😋 gave me a little extra cheese. Never put female company next to an infantry battalion.
