I’ll echo that. The shipboard food I had in the Coast Guard was generally excellent. Our cook was an SS1 and he’d been to chef school. He worked some real magic, even when the supplies were running low. He always did something special. A couple times he got a buddy in Maine to ship some boxes of live lobsters to us when we were offshore in Alaska. Schweet. Another time we had a fish call and one of the guys caught a 140lb halibut. He immediately cooked it up for the crew for dinner. Best. Halibut. Ever.

These Marines look like they’re eating pretty good. Sounds like a great idea.

But even todays MRE’s are a whole different world from the old days.

We didn’t have MRE’s, we had C-Rations. Some were okay and some weren’t.

An NCO or Officer should always have his subordinates welfare in mind 24/7.
