Posts: 13634Meal Team 6? That's absolutely brilliant. Many moons ago, a poster on this board claimed to be 'Naval SEAL. ' Sounds like a belly button fetish. Still cracks me up.

Posts: 406+1. This guy frustrates me more than the guys who ask about 10 different providers and contribute no reviews of their own.

Posts: 13634Yeah, I misread your comment. At the start of my career, it was called the mess hall, although some called it a chow hall. Years later, the Army decided to start calling them dining facilities. Nothing to do with quality had improved though. The Air Farce guys didn't know how good they had it.

Posts: 54Nothing, I said you were especially accurate about the Chow Hall part. If I were to have any correction we called it the dining facility. LOL!!

Posts: 1181And you know what they say, the Air Force is the social club of the defense department. No HVAC to staying.

Posts: 13634Most of us understood your post about your family's military service record. Personally, I love to pick on Air Farce (not a misspelling) personnel because they lived in dorms, not barracks, and those dorms had carpet, not tiled floors that required constant maintenance to shine. We Army guys had a chow hall with semi-shitty food. Marines? Worse, but I won't delve into my first enlistment which included funerals for sand fleas at Parris Island.

We could actually have seconds and food choices and quality were exceptional, compared with what I was used to. Yet the biggest shock came when I finished eating and brought my tray back to the kitchen area where one separates utensils, plates, etc, into separate bins (Army protocol) because the amused and befuddled contractor kitchen staff informed me (amongst giggles) that I SHOULD have left it on the table as someone would have picked it up. Well, excuse me and fuck me running. Learned after it was way too late that the Air Farce receives a much bigger budget than does either the Army or Marines. I was given shitty, pre-enlistment advice.
Leave you with this, an excerpt from an Army marching song affectionately sung on AF bases: "Zoomie zoomie, don't feel blue, Peter Pan was a fairy too!" Not sure why that suddenly popped into my head after 40 years, but it did.
Turd rant over.

Posts: 54Not to defend this dude, but outside of the main Army most folks did 4-6 month deployments. I was attached to Marines, a SF unit, a Civil Affairs unit, and an infantry unit over the course of 13 months for varying lengths of time. Marines were there for 6 months, the next 2 for 4 months, the last one had a full year like I did. The marine unit rotated out 3 times while I was there, the guys that were leaving when I got there showed back up when I was leaving. Some of the EOD guys I worked with were on deployment #3 and this was 2005.
