Watching your waste in the NAVY

ltcdoty

Interesting article about Navy chow. Its been awhile, over forty years, and I was in the Air Force, but I don't remember ever seeing a french fry in the chow hall. Lots of mashed spuds and just plain boiled potatoes..I also don't remember ever seeing fried chicken, just baked.

The taking away of whole milk would have killed me....soy milk[xx(]

..Moochelle also hosted a Girl Scout campout on the White House lawn, complete with fire pit....but NO smores. (unhealthy you know)

Why doesn't Moochelle live on the food she preaches about as her rear seems to be getting bigger. Just like obamacare all politicians should be the first ones on it and including Moochelle

she won't even work in her own damned "garden" unless it's a photo op

On the USS Constellation CVA64 in 1973 hey served fries in the forward galley.
They were made from instant potatoes and fortified with vitamin C.
Went great with the sliders and chocolate milk shakes.
Fried shrimp was served at least once a week.
You could eat 23 hours a day and get breakfast at least 4 time a day if you wanted.
Funny thing is I actually lost weight on that cruise.
Maybe working 7/12s on the flight deck had something to do with that.[:D]

Oh, I thought this was a thread about frivolous spending...

I guess this should have been called "Watching your WAIST in the Navy"!

Not sure if it was chicken, really think it was seagull in North Carolina. Had fried Chicken, rabbit and even pork chops. But can never remember French fries ours were baked even in 74.

When I was a shooter on USS CARL VINSON, (1998-2000), we used to get sliders and fries in Wardroom #3. It was quick and easy, and close to the flight deck, so you could launch aircraft, then dash down, eat fast, then get back up to recover them.

The sliders were usually cheeseburgers, and the fries were definitely "fried". WELL before Michelle's time, I guess.

Exactly, and that's why this is ridiculous, unreasonable and uncalled for.

Working a man to death might be justifiable in the name of National Defense. Starving him to death while you're doing it is criminal.

Sometimes I wonder if the CNO knows what he has authorized. He has to know how huge a morale factor a sailor's gut is. Hell, even Napoleon knew that.

Not to mention what this will do to dairy farmers and taxpayers. The "donated milk" which gave sailors all the milk they wanted was a Department of Agriculture thing to buy up all the excess milk and "donate" it to the Navy. Before that the milk ration was one pint per man per day.

The government won't stop buying excess milk. They will simply buy and dump.
