I was a cook in the marine corps from 86 to 92 I'll never forget what our Battalion commander told us as he was trying to keep morale high , he said we only have two forms of motivation , Chow and Mail call . My platoon of cook's cooked our asses off for the men . And I remember we had a lot of friends . I miss them days .
And you did a great job , loved the chow.
Tom Parshall were you stationed in California?

Navy vet here. I introduced a third form in our ship. I created a basic website on our intranet where anyone onboard could answer a movie trivia question to get a movie of their choice. I was an IC in charge of movie schedule for 350 sailors. Even after deployment everyone would ask me you're running the site next deployment. One of my proudest projects in the military.
@@kennethhuff7158 dude right? I miss marine chows. They really werent bad, i make shittier stuff at home. Marines you get like everything you want. Like a shitty vegas buffet.
This didn't show us much of what they eat, like the title says. Instead it told us how they need food for fuel and how much she loves what she does. Thanks.
As much funding as the military gets, you'd think they'd have good food. Good food keeps the soldiers' bodies running well and also keeps up morale. These are soldiers, not prisoners.
They didn't show us what they eat because it would likely spark righteous outrage due to how terrible the food is.
@@TheMailmanOfSteel Before Subic Bay Naval Base was shutdown, the United States and the Philippine Government had an agreement, non citizen Filipino's could come in our Navy in Non Combatant roles, so there was a lot of Filipino cooks in the Navy. After sometime as more Filipino's came into the Navy, they just took over the food service position and the Navy just let them cook whatever they wanted, practically every night was Filipino Night!
@@wulfbak they're Marines, not soldiers.
I don't think that's why?
Honestly, most of the food might not look appetizing(or just look really plain), but it would still be safe to eat.
The Chefs course is the hardest in the Military. No-one has ever passed it!
Now THAT'S funny!!!
Yes, if you ask the soldiers everybody can cook, except the cook :D

I used to work as an interpreter for the U.S. marine corps in Helmand, Afghanistan. The marine DFAC in camp Leatherneck was literally a heaven on earth. It fed 10, 000 soldiers at a time
i hope they gave you a green card to get out of that warzone mate im australian and i have a few mates that went over to afghanistan and they all said the interpreters were amazing risking thier families and thier own lives to help the troops doing thier jobs even with the threat of reprisals
@@kurtostara3274 your kidding right, they left him there to rut like they do with everyone else...
@@harlyslamm2888 We Canadians should be so ashamed of the fact that our Government (Trudeau) left those interrupters and helpful civilians all on their own. Makes me sick.
I hope you made it out!
Thanks for your service, our terp was re-assigned so I never knew what happened to him.
I was in the Marines from 89 to 96.personally I thought the food was great.thank you to all the mess hall workers that made our meals
I served in the Navy from 89-96, and the Navy had a lot of Filipino cooks at that time, until Subic Bay was shut down, that was the agreement, we could have a base there, if the United States let Non Citizen Filipino come into the Navy in Non Combatant Roles.
The worse chow is in the USMC
You got that right! I was in from 1968 - 1970 and had the chance to eat at the Permanent Personnel Mess Hall at Andrews Air Force Base in DC. More brass than you could shake a stick at, but the best chow I had while in. I ate like a pig for the couple of days I was there.
"Every morning they come in to get their breakfast, lunch, and dinner."
That's US marines
We can laugh, but this certainly is an upgrade. From crayons to this.
What's your point?
HAHAHAHA...Comment of the Month..
I too get my breakfast lunch and dinner in the morning
Not sure why everyone is hating on the girl in the red. Sure, what she said was obvious, and the food didn’t look very good, but what she said is true and she seemed motivated which is a good thing.
I'm normally sarcastic and a little mean....but english was a second language to that girl and she liked her job and seemed sincere. I'll bet most of the neg on here is from people who never served the country in the military.
I actually think she’s an outside contractor.
People are racist a holes that is why we got rid of trumpf.
Food didnt look good!!!! Are you kidding??? Its like a fking buffet compared to what soldiers get in other countries. God u guys are nuts.
@@tonyweaver2353 ...No we got rid of Trump because he wasn't benefitting the nation in any manner or way other than economically. Racism is only something the Democrats hide behind to feel good about their position. Racism will always exist dumbass, it has for centuries if not over millennia and your dumbass should have realized that by now. Getting rid of Trump isn't helping the racism problem.
When I was active USMC 73-77 On every Marine base I was at I always ate on a metal tray. The Marine food was outstanding. I even loved the C-Rats. It was a bit difference deployed on a ship because after we were out to sea for a while we had to eat powdered eggs and milk. I remember during Operation Frequent wind, we had to stay awake all night manning a gun and the Chef brought us out fresh baked bread and butter. When I was at Lejeune every Friday for lunch we had Chinese food and it was my favorite meal of all. They really knew how to prepare it.
Call a lawyer regarding the lawsuit.
That chicken looks like it was seasoned with water
James Z military chow is very bland. It has to be when you're feeding thousands from all over the country and damn near ever part of the earth
I would love to donate 3 tons of chilli
lol
James Z lool
James Z lol
We had good food in the Marine Corps then the cooks got a hold of it!
Hahahahaha
the good days were Christmas, Thanksgiving, July 4, and Marine Corps birthday, all the other days sucked
@@lestermount3287 well, you and rutledge were in the suck.
ROFLMAO!!
Much respect for 3381’s.
I was in the Air Force for 20 years, and I never failed to eat breakfast every morning. At all the bases on which I was assigned, the Chow Hall breakfast was Primo! Lunch and Dinner, however, were another story!
I agree. Hard to mess up eggs, toast or grits or home fries.
Having been in the military, I have to say that the Mess personnel have the hardest job of all. They do the same thing day-after-day throughout their time in the service. While those not in the Mess-service get enough changes in their days to keep it interesting. My hat is off to these dedicated soldiers.
7 day weeks 3 times a day
@@reneelopez604 Thank you for your service!
They are paid for it just like any other job.
We talked shit about how bad chow hall food was, but these dudes were a godsend when they brought you hot food in the field
Unless it poisoned you.
Well in early 80's army field food was hot & welcomed..!! Just always had a ammo can full with hot sauce, ketchup, mustard and lots of coffee,sugar,cream, and the small bottle of congaic just for seasoning K-TROOP 3/2 A.C.R
"never out of the fight"
김환국 why not? He's the best friend the military has had in a long time or the country has had for that matter. Apparently you're not from here so what difference does it make to you who we vote for? This is supposed to be about food anyway.
김환국 who cares? When they start supporting us instead of us supporting them I may start worrying about what the world thinks. Maybe.
Damn, that North Korea propaganda really brainwashed him.
This is my country, and i love my troops, and stand by them to the very end. U.S.A.
"I'm here to make sure the Marines get the nutritional child that they are to partake in"
The subtitles are hilarious
These men and women deserve the very best - glad to see they are getting plenty of good chow.
Sure looks much better than what I was served in the Army in 1968.
Semper Fi to all you Jarheads and thank you for everything you do for our country.
I am proud of each and every one of you
Every food is delicious when you are really hungry.
You neve had the SOS at LeJune.
Definitely don't ever have to worry about that Mess Hall ever getting written up for failing a health inspection. You could probably eat off of the kitchen floor.
This stuff looks like a step up from what we had back in the 80s. We used to sneak over to either a Navy or Air Force chow hall. The Air Force had it the best.
I was in the USAF 1974-1980 and I can honestly say I never had a bad meal in the base Chow Hall. These guys do a great job.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We’re you stationed in Florida?

@@fw1421 Did you get to pick the bases and how long you stayed at each one I want to join in Washington and be sent abroad I’m 19
@@saabab1474 When you first enlist you will be sent to Lackland AFB in San Antonio,Tx if you join the USAF,that’s the only Basic Training base. Then you will go to Tech School,and where you go depends on what job you signed up for. Then you will go on to your permanent duty station and that’s up to where they need you unless you make some kind of deal with your recruiter. Now the training bases have all changed since I was in so you could really go to any training base,they’ve closed half of them since I was in back in the 70’s Before you sign on the dotted line make sure you get a guaranteed job otherwise they could send you to any school that has openings. My best wishes for your time in the USAF,I enjoyed my time and it changed my life.

My heroes! Julius Ceasar once said "an army marches on it's stomach".

Thanks guys

Doggie, you need to raise your standards.
What a waste of chicken.the food looks awful. I was chief caterer in th Royal Navy and if we served up food that bad the crew would have mutinied .

in 92 I was in Okinawa and mag 12 ordnance in iwakuni invited mag 36 to iwakuni for the annual ordnance party.i ate in the iwakuni chow hall and it was damned good.

Wandering Veteran, Damn you’re even wearing the same uniform from the video 👨🍳
Military cooks are probably the least appreciated MOS in the military services. I’ve never had a bad meal, until someone handed me an MRE. Some of those were pretty nasty, but when you’re hungry you either stay hungry or eat whats put in front of you. I’ll say this though, its no different than closing time at the bar (women always look better) on a long enough time line MRE’s will start to taste good.
MRE - Meals Rejected by Ethiopians.
Much better meal than the paid meal plan i have during my college year. No wonder every marine is looking so well fed and bulky.
What does the mass hall manager do?
Make sure that marines get the adequate nutritional chow that they come in there to partake in.
Mass hall? Got to see the Chaplin for that one.
The Marine cooks always did a good job when I was in, you're cooking for a ton of people it's not easy. The Air Force on the other hand was like eating at a Michelin Star Mess Hall
!(: Well said
and the Navy food was pretty good too ;)!
GREAT FOOD AND GREAT SLEEPING BARRACKS TOO
Our soldiers deserve the very best chow for defending our country everyday. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS
I have a huge respect and great love for US Marines great people ❤🇺🇲
I thought it was funny how you can hear the audio of the camera woman awkwardly apologizing to Cpl Talyor at 1:18 for getting B-roll footage of her while she's trying to have lunch. That nervous laugh!
When I was in the Corps in the 70s, I thought the food was outstanding. Navy chow halls were often even better.
Best military chow I ever had was on a Navy base in Asia, they had steak!
@@speedracer2336 That still had marks on it where the jockey hit it.
@@leemoore9933 compared to Army chow at the time it was like eating at a gourmet restaurant!
Wow! It’s been along time since I saw Iwakuni (early’70’s). Thanks for the memories!
Happy Holidays Marines👍🏽🇺🇸
Semper Fi 🇺🇸
I was stationed at Iwakuni from 2002-2003. I was an aviation ordnanceman with squadron VMFA-212 "The Lancers". I still think about Iwakuni all the time. I miss Japan a lot.
holy shit that chicken still had feathers on it
IT"S RAWWWW!!
+cg102 It was still running from the coyote
CoralReefKeef it's freash
is good a think in war sometimes no food
CoralReefKeef 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You want good food, go Air Force. Hands down.
Sub duty, Navy.
g mc When I was in Bragg,I used to cross over to Pope AFB just for lunch.its that good!
thats no bullshit either. They charge a la carte though.
That also holds true for the Israeli Air force. The girl in the red uniform, oh my Gd HAAHAHA!
Surf and turf...... USAF ......
My father served in WW2, The Netherlands, France, Sicily/Italy, Germany and North Africa. As a ‘desert rat’ in North Africa they had one pint of water per day, that was to drink, wash, shave whatever they wanted (choice was theirs).
Somewhere along the way they were taken off the front line and given respite at a US camp, I’m not even sure if this was in Libya or if they were in Italy at this point but their battalion was given time at an American camp.
He was stunned at the facilities the American military had, they had showers, proper camp bed cots, and the canteen facilities were the best he’d ever seen. He remembered standing in line with his aluminium tray for breakfast getting eggs, bacon, ‘biscuits’ and then he copied what the guy ahead had done and added maple syrup....
He was still laughing about that twenty years later when he told me that.
Being a Old Army COOK, There is a Master Menu. That EVERY Service gets. I cook in a Mess Hall that feed 5000 men 24/7. Open 24 hours 7 days a week. Most of the Troops Had never had Food this good an as Much of it for them to eat. This was In the 60's. Draft had gone wild..
Where was that North Carolina?
@R I know why should we abandon Camp Leatherneck after spending so much money also it’s a perfect base to keep a eye on China and Chinas ongoing invasion of Tibet and Xinjiang
A airbase in Afghanistan can strike most of China within a few hours
They say that in the Marine Corps the chow is mighty fine...
A bun jumped off the table and started marking time...
I hate that cadence
This time was my break time , it was life back then in my chapters of life , it was all fun learned a lot growing up in my younger years
A real bad ass I must say ,also worked with seal teams later on , war wasn’t that great I lived though seen many different stories of my my team , from death to handicap , women wasn’t on the battlefield then , we needed the help back then though. Have a great day all.
Never had good chow in any grunt chow hall. Now if you sneak over to the airwing chow hall. Now that's food.
if there was a Navy side that was good
MCAS Tustin.... my favorite. Though it was humorous when in line with grunts flying out of El Toro (Desert Shield) and they commented how sweet El Toro's chow hall was.... my comment was a simple... welcome to the air wing....
God Bless you. You are the real heroes. I was Air Force 93-97, and I am humbled by you. Take care brothers and sisters.
Goddamn baked/boiled chicken and rice. I wonder how many hundreds if not thousands of pounds of that I ate over my 28 year career
BOSS MAN was I bitching snowflake?
BOSS MAN LMFAO!!!! Nice comeback. Hold that man accountable.
HAWG! Not a Marine. For starters. BAH is for housing. Second. Thirdly I ate in a chow hall at least one meal damn near every single day during the duty week. Not to mention the 5+ months a year in the field. Not to mention the nearly a decade I spent overseas and deployed.
Did I mean I ate this 3x a day for 28 years? Obviously not moron. Not even someone who spent 20+ years in the barracks would eat 3x a day, every single day, in the chow hall.
You must have been a Marine Captain Obvious
Nice try though fuck stick
HAWG! The best? Lmfao. The best at tooting their own horn and marching around the parade deck. Aside from that not so much. Their reenlistment rate is rock bottom. Apparently most Marines like droning on and on about having been in the Marines. They just don't like actually being in the Marines. Best my ass.
Dirty nasty fucking legs
Airborne!
BOSS MAN fake? You have anger issues shit bag. Go fuck yourself and get help. After that use your GI Bill and take some remedial education classes at the local CC.
Love My Brother Marines!! I served 17 Yrs in Japan!
My dad was in the USMC from 83-05 and when I enlisted in 2017 he told me to always be friends with cooks and supply. When I got to the fleet and found out that the chowhall is ran by the same civilian company that feeds prisoners he didn't believe me. I will say that on some bases, Lejeuen I know for sure, there are some chow halls that have Marines working in them, and they're always the better ones.
The times are a changing 😢
The chow hall at the Munitions Support Squadron I was stationed at in West Germany had outstanding chow and wonderful USAF cooks and local nationals helping with the cooking. We always looked forward to the Ladies cooking local fare. And yes, there was a small budget for the food, but the food was still good.
My grandpa who served in the Philippine Scout Rangers can perfectly recall the time he was on a Joint-Op with the US Marines in the 80s.
He said that their field rations were a godsend in comparison to Filipino Army field rations.
Plus the Marines who were with him, gave away some of their rations packs when they saw how miserable my Grandpa's squad was, even shared their ammunition too.
My grandpa was a us soldier, a 101st airborne ranger and the philippine rangers are hardcore, love the guys
MRE's aint so bad when you're hungry!
Pretty cool to think that everyone of those cooks spent time in infantry school
From an 03, Camp Horno, Good to see Marine Cooks getting the props they deserve. They're making it "look" nice and easy. Get Some.
Thank you, you have a very underrated job, but you are vital to the success of every endeavor, remember the army runs on its stomach, without you they could do nothing
Hey Marine! You're indoors. Get that cover off your grape! 😂 The chow in boot camp was actually quite good! Then you get out in the field. I liked mixing my powdered eggs with the "meat" gravy at morning chow. I don't know if it was really that good or just the fact that I was so damn hungry😁
Ha lol I went to stinger gunner school with Meyer and he ended up in charge of the chow hall hilarious. Small world
You got to love these cooks. I can't imagine doing this job. They take a lot of heat with very little appreciation.
Best chow I had was being at a Canadian Air Force base. You wouldn't believe the spread they had. The regular Canadian troops went to the local pub on base, drank beer and played darts. In their mess hall hardly any of their personal ate there and they had such things as rack of lamb . plus about 30 kinds of deserts, eat as much as your want. I still toss and turn dreaming about it. (SOB)
They don't have to protect the free world. I was invited on one of their small ships, it was like a yacht!
I was stationed in Okinawa, and we had cooks living in the same barracks. Dude would walk around with his hand in pants all day.
LOL! He was keeping you breakfast warm.
He's grabbing the special sauce out the pantry😂😂😂
This chef is jamaican instead of making jerk chicken so the soldiers enjoy, shes making chicken seasoned with water and salt
Not all jamaicans can cook
876er don’t worry she’s a woman
Marines are not soldiers.
They wouldn't let her make jerk chicken.
J Adam Are you stupid bro? The military has a protocol on what food needs to be served, at a rate served to hundreds if not thousands of people. You think she has a choice? She makes what shes told.
I thought it was cool that PFC Weir was proud of her job and loved doing it. She wins.
20 of the best years of my life. I never complained about Navy food. Eat or go hungry.
Maybe a few times.
1:24 beautiful corporal Taylor!
Gato Azul a good reason to join Isis and north Korea or ruasia
Do you know her IG?
That fine woman deserves a better meal lol.
And she can kick our butt too :)
Gato Azul that is the only reason why I came here..
the food isnt that bad. even being married i was paid a food allowance for me and my family and sometimes i paid the $3 to eat lunch at the chowhall. every chowhall usually has a main line a fastfood line and a salad bar. the main line has stuff like main dishes like chicken, fish, beef, whatever and the fastfood line almost always has burgers either with cheese or without (your choice) and fries. things you find at a fastfood place. and the salad bar has salad stuff, fruit, and sometimes there is a taco bar or other minor foods similar to taco bar like a sandwich bar. there are usually desert fridges in the dining area with slices of pie, cake, cookies whatever. some places have a chest freezer with icecream bars. they have fountain drinks with sodas, water and juices. even sports drinks.
IWAKUNI MCAS Cook-71-72. Chow Hall was squared away, the food great. I loved it there.
I was a cook in the USMC from 86 to 1990. I can tell you plainly that all US military branches feed their troops yummy and nutritious meals (on base, at least :-P)
The Air Force always have the best chow. This looks like chow I always get in the Army's dfac.
oliver grande Cg has best chow*
The Iwakuni chow hall looks a lot fancier than it did when I was there in the 70's. The only time I had mess duty was as a LCPL in Iwakuni and I worked the md-rats shift. It was the biggest skate month I ever had in the Marine Corps. It made me wish that I had been a cook.
Best fed military in the world!! You guys and girls rock!! Thank you for serving a grateful nation.
I am utterly shocked at the lack of crayon jokes in the comments
Thank God for Texas Pete, that's how you survive the DFAC
Ephy Doubtfire I'd fuck with that A1 too.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can honestly say I never saw a Sgt in charge of a mess hall before. . .but when I was stationed at Iwakuni in 1970, the best meal of the day was Midrats. . .everything was fresher and made to order. . .you don't see that very often in the Marine Corps!
the filling items good here and when variety of veggies thrown in no doubt one has to dine efficiently :)
Or.... you just sneak over to Kadena Air Force base to get some steak cooked to your preference... Thank You Air Force... we appreciated your hard work
Of coarse it's good food, when your branch is first in last out, you have to have the best food!
B RADD sarcasm right?
Abdullah well besides special forces, the AF has been the branch that has led every war, for what the last 30 years or so?
Quite a way to Kadena as it's on Okinawa and Iwakuni is on Honshu.
whenever possible I went to the Navy side or hospital for decent food.
Make fun of the Air Force, but we didn't have Mess Halls or Chow Halls, we have Dining Facilities...and surprisingly they have pretty good food!!!
No One has the work ethic of a military cook literately the hardest job in the kitchen -always look em in the eye and praise them for their efforts.
The only time the food was ever good was when there's a safety inspection
I was a marine cook 72 to 74 at 29 palms loved it Semper fi
we r here to see the hot chick
Thank you, while sitting here bored scrolling through RUclips I was just wondering this exact thing.
Stationed at iwakuni 1986-1987, great food back then

I was in the Marines for 68-77. In 68 your breakfast was eggs anyway you wanted them as long as you wanted them green and scrambled about 3 hours before you got there. They turned green sitting in the pans. The eggs were not bad if you smothered them in creamed chipped beef. We called it shit on a shingle, I will bet they still serve it. The rest of the meals you used lots of ketchup on everything to kill the taste, even in the soup.
In 1969 a in Vietnam Marine was credited for saving an entire rifle company: he shot the cook.
In 1971 they started to change the menu. We could get eggs fried anyway we wanted them and omelets too, they had hamburger lines, soda fountains, soul food, like the food really improved.
The best breakfast meal was always SOS. I would take two slices of buttered toast, two eggs over easy and then smother it with creamed chipped beef. Ooh Rah!
The Caribbean woman at 1:26 is making such an Interesting point...I never realised food was so important.
I honestly didn’t know we needed food
I remember eating at the mess hall in Iwakuni in 1977 best thing we had going was Snuffy's. They have the best steak sandwich you could get
I was in Iwakuni in 1977 and you’re so right about Snuffy’s. Best bag lunch in the world!!!! Semper Fi.
I was there 1976, wasn't Snuffy's that stop and grab a brown bag lunch? Been a long time ago..
Cheese Burger and fries. I lived on for 1 year and of course the soba truck with soup soba and fried rice.
I was stationed at MCAS iwakuni Japan and even back then they did a good job
Btw i was there from 88 to 90
Thanks you for your service and thank you for making our nation strong and Iam proud that iam American
Looks delicious!!! Rice and chicken, my favorite food!
enjoy you time there i took it for granted not realizing i would never return Semper Fi
I was stationed at Iwakuni in ‘71. Really nice base the Marines shared with the Coast Guard.
Stationed there in 1970. We ran out of food for two weeks as the LST carrying it broke down. Ate mystery meat and drank KoolAid for the entire time. Those were the days! I am glad we could get off base to get a real meal.
Plates?they have plates? When I was in the Marines we had metal trays with depressions for trying to keep the slop separate if you cared.
Made decent weapons too! With A Slash...!
Me too, Army, 1971-1974.
Chow halls in Germany sucked! Ft.Bragg was bad ass! Lived off post,but would eat breakfast at the chow hall for 1.10,and it was awesome! Those spoons took pride in their jobs! respect!
I eat this. You eat MRE....
hell yea...evening in '73 Bragg was better than this......"all the way"!
During my time, the Green Beret chowhall was best. But usually, my buddies and I would travel close by to Pope AFB (At the time).
Great memories of me working as a civilian at MCAS Yuma, AZ as a mess hall attendant. Food there was generally the same as this here at MCAA Iwakuni. My first job out of high school. One time we screwed up on a 3 star General visit we left out Lobster from the night before Marine Corps Birthday. Kitchen was very fowl the next morning had to throw out all that expensive Lobster. A Lance Corporal was supposed to put it in the cooler for the next Mid rats meal for pilots. Ha Ha Ha good times.
Greatest chow hall in the corps, these young kids do real life jobs to keep one of the best bases in the pacific in operation ready mode.. what people don’t realize is that military life is not about the glory of one marine holding a machine gun, instead its about the support that young marine receives by its supporting units at all levels, and guess what they also shoot weapons but never get the glory.. salud young marines and semper fi..🥃🥃
I'm 65. I'd join, go through rocking chair boot camp. Work as a janitor or something. And eat pretty damn good.
