When I first went to the desert they were going to take away our food allowance because we had "a chowhall" providing our food. First place I went to we were eating MRE's. Thankfully they didn't do it.

Funny thing happened one time on the Saipan. We had a trouble call for the reefer unit in the chief's mess. It was an easy fix, but half a dozen lobster tail somehow slipped into our tool buckets on the way out. When we were at sea, there were 2K Marines aboard, so we cooked a lot of our meals in the shop due to the long lines on the mess deck. It's amazing what you can cook in a modified 30 cup coffee pot.

I didn't think they were that bad really.

They were better than the old C rations that's for sure but eating the hot dog MRE should earn you a silver star lol. We were in the desert in California and a buddy tossed a couple of the hot dogs to a dog that had found us and was hanging around. The dog sniffed them and I swear it made the funniest face and backed away lol.

The corned beef hash was good, I guess it's hard to mess that up.
