richard w. Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Hats off to the army cooks! When I was in, I don't think I ever saw a mess sergeant or cook who wasn't doing everything they could to make good chow for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoscoeTurner Posted November 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Hats off to the army cooks! When I was in, I don't think I ever saw a mess sergeant or cook who wasn't doing everything they could to make good chow for us. Same when I was in. I had some great meals at the BN mess hall at Ft. Campbell. Aviation officers were not charged a meal surcharge due to the distance from the airfield to any place to eat so I took advantage of that opportunity often. We had some great cooks. Best banana bread I have ever eaten came from a mess hall at Ft Riley, KS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpbcps Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) The French army, or at least our unit, had some of the worst cooks I have ever known! These comic strips probably sum it up. Edited November 28, 2020 by rpbcps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadycon Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 No complaints on the chow at 6/10 FA battalion, Bamburg, Ger. 72-73. Even when in the field hardly ever had C-rats. Traded them for Conquac . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpbcps Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 We used to love being on exercise with US Marines when they visited Djibouti in the 1980's, they were curious about our ration packs, and we loved their MREs. We got the best deal on those exchanges for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNGUY45 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Best chow hall I ever ate in was at Biggs Army Airfield, just off of Ft Bliss, TX.Actually at the NCO school there, where I attended PNCOC/CA, class 5-81. The second best was at Camp Lee, our border camp, while serving with 2/11ACR, '82-'83. Edited December 1, 2020 by GUNGUY45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
