Now is that nice?
The civilians out there don't know that Post or Base food inspection has always been done by Veterinary Services.
jrandomfreeper needs to weigh in on this ... I predict an awesome dress down

there was a restaurant where a place right on the water, with folks ice fishing 100 feet away selling frozen food and FAKE crab.
I saw one show where a place was getting burgers wrong, seriously... how can you get burgers wrong?
FWIW, the USAF Veterinary service caught the US Army veterinarians and technicians taking bribes in 1974 from food suppliers that were providing substandard and unwholesome food. There was a Senate investigation (1975) that resulted in around 90 Army members and DPSC personnel being sent to Ft. Leavenworth. The Army lobbied to have the USAF Veterinarians removed and with political influence Jimmy Carter signed the death warrant of the USAF Veterinary Services in 1978 which was completed in 1982. Now the jobs of the USAF Veterinary Corps has to have up to three officers taking the job of what was once one veterinarians’responsibility. Army Veterinarians are now stationed at USAF bases providing the animal care which was just one of the responsibilities the USAF veterinarian accomplished efficiently. Enlisted it took three Army MOS’ (91R,91S,91T) to do the job of one USAF 908XO because the USAF veterinary enlisted were selected from those that scored high on the AFQT tests.
Ha! A lady I work with just ate there last night. I can’t wait to tell her!
Someone wasn't doing daily inspections on base. And they need to be [REDACTED] until their eyes bleed.
I'm an easygoing kind of guy, and I don't mind having to occasionally pry kitchen staff off of waitstaff in the linen closet with a crowbar (NOT ON THE CLEAN LINEN, DAMMIT), but food safety is very, very important.
Given that I wish to remain a Freeper, I think it's best to not actually say what I think in detail.

Used to own a Restaurant... competitor called the Inspectors on us... figured out who they were, returned the favor ... we still had our “A” they were closed for a month and even then ended up with a “B”
TT
PS Don’t eat at a “B”
That's standard practice for Army. In the AF, it's Flight Surgeon's office, in the Navy, it's usually a Medic who happens to be a Chief. Although on a JTF assignment, a Navy Captain (MD) did the inspection once, as I recall, with a Chief telling her where to find gotcha's.

(We want to keep ya Freeper too)
Not only extra protein, but fresh and crunchy extra protein. :=)
I was stationed on Terceira Island in the Azores archipelago for two years where there was no fast food of any kind and one evening the Portuguese chef at the NCO club put cinnamon on a pizza.
I have to say though, the local cuisine was much better than fast food.
There’s a Zaxby’s in Montgomery , Al. , that just went to court over severing a mouse in the green salad. A u-tube video out about the same restaurant , with a Cockroach crawling around the salad.
And some hotsauce to help it go down.
I am not knocking Mexicans here, but one of the biggest problems I had as the balance of my employees shifted over time was getting my Hispanic employees to throw away food that fell on the floor. It was not because they were dirty or didn’t care, but because they had so little that they personally could not afford to waste food! I don’t think neglect or poor hygiene has a lock on any nationality, they are equal opportunity traits.
Flash: The Maggots were employees of the Defense Information Systems Agency.
it’s like a little moving almond. yeah, that’s what it is....
Well, there goes my appetite for this evening.
