    Former Blue Falcon here. Infantry. You guys (food services) work your butts off and I was always grateful for your work and great chow. We spent most of our time on C Rats then MREs and a hot meal was pure luxury. You cant beat an Army breakfast and man, on Thanksgiving and Christmas, that knocked the ball out of the park. Good to see the professionalism still living on.

    I was in the US Army 1974-1977. I was stationed in Harvey Barracks, Kitzingen, Germany. I was HHC, 2nd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division. The chow I had in the Army was great. The NCOIC of our mess hall was a great American SFC. He was the best and ran his mess hall with precision. He kept his line cooks and EM assigned to him happy and his food was the best. His uniform was squared away daily, and so was his peoples' uniforms perfect. He was truly a class act. He would say when we showed up at 6 am at the mess hall, 'where are you going to get great food like this in the world?'. He was right. He would say, you better reenlist soldier. The best chow I had in the ARMY was at this great mess sarge's mess hall Harvey Barracks, Kitzingen, Germany. What a great man and great food under his charge. I am almost 70, so he is probably gone by now, he was probably 15-20 years older than I. People just do not realize how impactful they can be on others. This man I am referring to was not only a great American serviceman, but he was a real leader.

People sometimes think its boastful, but I was Airborne Infantry and we basically maybe got one ration a day and man, to come in and get a huge meal like you guys probably got up at 0300 or something to spoil us with, really humbles me and thank you for it. I am actually learning to cook now and not great at it, but getting better and enjoy it. I can imagine for guys like you, it was just hard work.

The quality of the food prepared was as good as any high end restaurant, and no screaming, yelling, or bad behaviour that’s prevalent in civilian restaurants. Kudos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    I w( AiR F or e. We flew to the chow hall each day because the Dietician was S o wonderful. He even. Learned to make matzoh ba lls from my mother's recipe. It. Was a slice of home in Japan. He also followed us to Clark in the PHILIPPINES and later edwards in California. So we had the same guy Supervis ing our meals ever since leaving tech school. Capt Dean was a great guy.

      @@victorlewis4915 It is FREE, E1's to E4's are issued meal cards for accountability and it helps the mess hall keep accurate counts on how many meals/people were actually served. It also prevents someone from eating twice and scamming the system. If you are a married service member and live off base the government gives you a basic allowance for meals and you are required to pay for it. It's been years since I served active duty, they might have everyone on a card now to reduce the amount of cash sitting around and to eliminate the chance of theft

      Married personnel pay for the food between $3-5. Single soldiers are given pay to eat in the chow hall and it then deducted out of that same paycheck, whether the soldier goes to the dining facility all the time, or very little.

    In this video he talks about FORT BRAGG,in NORTH CAROLINA the 82ND,Airborne Division, but I thought that the 82nd was based at FORT CAMPBELL,but I thought that the 101 Airborne Division was stationed at FORT Bragg,in North Carolina, or did the DEPT OF THE ARMY, AND THE PENTAGON combine both divisions?is my question, because my 2nd duty station was at FORT GORDON, in AUGUSTA GEORGIA, and I was assigned to the 67TH SIGNAL BATTALION, CHARLIE COMPANY, but I worked in BATTALION mess hall, feeding thousands of troops, sometimes we had to go to the field in fatigues,full gear,lock and load,M-16 all.

      I call BS. I have never been near Fort Bragg or Fort Campbell, but every soldier who completed basic knows where the 82nd and 101st are located. Guess you attended Basic at the Field of Dreams.

    I enlisted in the Army for 6 years at age 17 in 1987. My mother refused to sign the paperwork (as I was a minor) and told me to go to the Air Force recruiter. Best advice mom gave me! I signed a four year contract with the USAF with mom's signature and got me out of the USA's contract. Boy, was that USA recruiter pissed! He threatened me with jail, dishonorable discharge and captive punishment (whatever that is). I went on to have a very successful career with the USAF and retired after 26 years. I've deployed to many forward operating bases (FOBS) and found that the Army lacks common sense and rules by bullying, violence and outright insubordination. However, most of my meals were from KBR, not the USA so I can't speak to the quality of their work.
    Mom made the right decision for me.

      Until you take the oath of office that Army recruiter couldn't do sh*t! But, you probably know that now.
