I’m in a band that performs on occasion at CFBs (Canadian Forces Bases). We typically eat there and spend the night either in barracks or guest housing.
I have noticed that when we play for officers, dinner is like steak and lobster. When we play for enlisted, it’s more like high school cafeteria. The one and only time I had to excuse myself towards the end of a concert and miss the closing number was after eating at the enlisted mess and getting explosive diarrhea.

I guess they’re training their soldiers for biological warfare.
I suppose it is a kind of survival training? One of my bandmates who’s served came up after. “So here’s the deal. You watch what everyone else is eating. If they’re meticulously avoiding the peach cobbler or whatever it is, you F’ing stay away from that S if you know what’s good for you!”
I know from my wife that food in the CAF varies wildly from base to base. Some places are pretty good, others are dogshit.
It’s so nice to see Comic Sans actually being used for its intended purpose.
Yes it actually looks great in the correct context, tbh.
The Vietnam vets I knew from the US army talked about the weirdly green gravy which was good, just green.
And a WWII Navy vet stationed on a carrier said the food was fine, but it was all piled on top of each other.
100 percent. Just never mix Army and CIA. It spawns a level 5 entity that the black helicopter guys have to take care of.
It’s pretty true. I have some Army meals in my photo library.
Edit: Found some more
Maybe it’s because I grew up poor with a single parent who couldn’t cook, but I thought that the Army food was great. When I got to AIT and could eat as much as I wanted, I realized that I had essentially been starving my entire life. I put on 19 pounds between starting basic and finishing AIT, when most people were losing dozens of pounds. I would eat 3000 calorie breakfasts, and then burn most of it off with an eight mile run.
the army food was great
me too. I was with the military for 6 months (it’s obligatory in my country) and the food was delicious. Not just very nutritious and also healthy, but it really filled you, and made you feel good. Much better than what I got at home.
I don’t think an 8 mile run burns 3000 kcal.
That’s one jucy plate of bread, green beans, lettuce with cum, and diarrhea. Accompanied by a glass of piss.
Wym that looks delicious
Legitimately looks like prison food. And you don’t even get metal cutlery?
Thats how pretty much all food made in giant quantities for 1500+ people is gonna look. Looks like every cafeteria meal i have ever eaten.
I thought this place was for jokes. Why is there an infographic?
Food in the US military
Is this actually credible?
No. The CIA isn’t military.
The CIA isn’t acting in the interest of the united states either, but still here we are
Y’all are silly the CIA isn’t actually real
Hey, my dad was a Marine and I take great offense at the suggestion that he ate crayons. He served in Vietnam; they smoked crayons, thank you very fucking much.
how does that, er, work, exactly
In an emergency situation a crayon can burn for up to an hour.
Eat raw wheat flour yeah 🤤
What’s going on in the navy?
homophobia
Hot
Sucking dicks is homophobic now?
come on man, I don’t have to explain this, you’re smart enough to understand the cultural and societal heritage here.
“Sucking cocks is my heritage”
They’re schlorping schlongs.
Where do we sign up?!
Was a submariner, can confirm.
Yeah I don’t think pink hair is allowed

- HAIR
(a) Men
Hair coloring must look natural.
(b) Women
Styles with shaved portions of the scalp (other than the neckline), those with designs cut, braided, or parted into the hair, as well as dyed using unnatural colors are not authorized.
So only if you can find someone in the wild with naturally-pink hair.
