Is this actually credible??

I thought this place was for jokes. Why is there an infographic?

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 pretty true. I have some Army meals in my photo library.

Edit: Found some more

That’s one jucy plate of bread, green beans, lettuce with cum, and diarrhea. Accompanied by a glass of piss.
- The lemon drank was pretty good honestly!
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.
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.
- Depends where you're at. It's been more than a decade but the cooks at my dfac in Afghanistan told us prisoners get higher grade beef.
Wtf that looks delicious, a little small portions but other than that it's fine
Green beans look good
"Everything the body needs"
I though they were careful about their diet and trained as athlete...
- 😂😂😂
That last one is making a run for it :)
Eh, I've eaten worse from gas stations.
Is that really, really dark gothic chocolate cake?

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.
- There are extensions to put it on all web pages
  It’s easier to read for dyslexics and those with brain injuries

What about the Space Force?

Red bull and a cigarette.
- While running around doing a karaoke version of Blur Song 2.
- So the space force is just a bunch of line cooks?
- Hey, that's what my son lives off of, and he's a civilian.
- They're air force. So the air force section. Red Bull and a cigarette is the Grunt's dinner.
Definitely freeze dried astronaut food.
They stole other services bases mostly and aren't even able to fully staff yet. They are either using the previous infrastructure or just leeching off of whatever base they are on.
Blue jello.

What's going on in the navy?

They're schlorping schlongs.
- Where do we sign up?!
- Was a submariner, can confirm.
homophobia
What's gay to civilians is brotherhood in the Army. What's gay to the Army is brotherhood in the Navy. What's gay to the Navy is illegal.
- Situational sexuality.
  I remember a recent convo (last ten years) regarding an elderly British couple talking about the rise of LGBT+ issues in politics,
  HUSBAND: It's actually refreshing to see the young people openly talking about it. WIFE: I don't think we've ever known anyone like that. Do we? HUSBAND: Dear, I was in the navy for ten years.
  If you think about it, it's very much a thing in parochial schools as well.
Yeah I don't think pink hair is allowed

My dad was in the coast guard. I'll ask.

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.

Eat raw wheat flour yeah 🤤

Tsampa!

I personally didn't mind army food. I would love some navy food tho :3

Me: looks at the meme, then looks at you comment

What is the difference usmc and the navy? Honest question.

If you ask a Marine they'll confirm that they're a department of the Navy, but then qualify it as "the men's department" before devolving into a yut-fest
Well, they often enjoy eating a variety of crayons, for one?
USMC is an independent branch, but does serve under the Navy. They used to be completely independent, until they were placed under the Navy in 1834.
Different responsibilities, roles, training, structure, culture, etc... but they still report to the secretary of the Navy.
I wanna know what Navy Seals eat
- Most seals subsist on fish, but depending on the species they may also eat crustaceans, krill, or penguins
- Seals. It's in the name.
- Don't they use Marines to man the brig on ships?
  Not sure where I heard that, so could totally be talking out my ass here.
Easy, the navy flies the big boats and the USMC get set loose to weed out a country's crayon supply.
From what I heard while joining the marines were originally the ones that would defend the crew of military vessels.
Like in old ship combat if your ship was boarded the marines were the ones fighting them off.
Water? Idk
