What do the armed forces serve for meals?

Question

I'm particularly wondering about the army and marines, but I'm not even sure if there is a difference between those menus and that of the air force or navy.

During morning, noon, and evening chow, what choices do the enlisted get. What about the officers?

Answer 1

When you're over there in combat, the only thing you like get is MRE.  

Answer 2

during basic training/boot camp

army/marines--- SLOP, EGGS,AND CHILIMACK..... MRE's WHEN YOUR LUCKY

airforce--- STEAK and take-out from nice resteruants

navy--- other Seamen.... LMFAO

Answer 3

on post, we have chow halls.  It's pretty much like any other cafeteria setting.  You stand in line, swipe your ID card, grab a tray, and choose from what's there.  It's something different every day.  Some days it's chicken cordon bleu, sometimes it's steak and baked potato.  There's the short order line, too, where you can get a burger and fries, or grilled ham&cheese.  Seafood sometimes, too.  

It's really not as bad as some people seem to think.

Answer 4

The Marine Corps is the only branch of service that has a contract with Sodexho, the company that serves food to prison.

In boot camp, you get to see what the enlisted eat, but you don't get to eat it. As a man, you'll get a lot of sugary foods and whatnot. As a woman, not so much.

During MCT, you'll subsist mostly on MRE's (2 of the 3 weeks of MCT are in the field). On Sunday evenings, you may be given hot rations, and on Sunday afternoon you may get liberty (time off). Bring money, because a food cart comes by.

During MOS school, it's going to be the stuff you saw your DI's eat. Yeah, they'll have the same kinds of foods from boot camp, but you'll get omeletes made to order and whatnot. Each chow hall's food depends on who runs it (there are different managers in each chow hall), but you should get better food once you hit the fleet than in MOS school. You'll also see a "fast chow" and "slow chow" line...fast chow is burgers, breakfast sandwiches, etc. (think fast food), whereas the slow chow line has sit-down meals. A chow hall we had was recently renovated to have different stations, like a "homestyle" station, an "ethnic" station, and the fast chow was so much better, even serving angus burgers.

Answer 5

In the Navy we work from a 6 week menu.

We always have a salad bar and a desert bar. We have a 'cold line' with cold foods. We have a 'hot line' with the menu items. and we have a 'fast line' with burgers.

Breakfasts are all the same. Cooked to order eggs and omelets. toast, fresh fruits, cereals, bacon, sausage, and ham. Milk, coffee.

Lunchs and dinners are different.

The menu is done from a crew meeting. The Supply Officer calls an open meeting where eveyrone has a voice, and he controls his budget. usually they do not like to repeat any one menu item, only once for each 6 weeks.

So T-bone steak might be for one dinner, and lobster another, and pork chops, etc. Lasagna, spaghetti, tacos, meatloaf, casseroles, the lsit goes on.

Mid-rats is served at mid-night. And is usually all of the left-overs from that previous day, heated up again.

Answer 6

When serving in combat, you get more than just MRE's.
