Funny (sort of) T-Shirt I once saw.

This is purely a General Officer problem. Hire more Army cooks from within the ranks. Assign more enlisted and NCO personnel to this activity. Give the NCOs the freedom to function. Same for the junior officers in charge. Exceedingly poor leadership. Let’s Go Brandon!

Shows you what is running the military ... fat lazy drunks and freaks. Can’t even run a messhall ... should do really good in a shooting war.

When I served in Jimmy Carter's Army, I was in the 1st Armored Division in Germany. Our Mess Hall was consistently rated as the WORST in the 1st AD, but it was always open and served edible food to my troops.

There is no excuse for this - all of the taskings for cooks at Ft. Irwin, Ft. Knox, overseas, etc. were easily foreseeable. Someone (at the General level, though at lower levels as well) should be held accountable for this and punished.

Hey “base officials” get your butts out of the chair and go help.
Plenty of work peeling potatoes..washing up...serving the meals for the fighting force.

Would have felt better about the Air Force Chow halls if they didn’t always park an ambulance right by it.

The ambulance was for members of the other services who fainted when seeing how good the Air Force ate. Even going to the field you ate good.

Thanks for sharing that.

I left the army after I came home from VN so missed all that.

I was a grunt and we did pretty amazing things with condiments stolen (with a wink and a nod from the mess sgts) from mess halls to make our C rations tastier. We had no MREs in those days.

Anyone can cook. Recipes are already created. The process just has to be followed.

Fort Hood, the third-largest U.S. military base, was renamed Fort Cavazos on Tuesday to honor a Hispanic American Army leader rather than a Confederate general.
