  The repetitive nature of this video reminds me of writing essays in college when you are trying to fill a word quota.

  There is no need to hit rewind if you missed any of what was said; just keep watching, and you'll hear it again and again and again.

  My youngest brother was a Navy cook on a mine sweeper in Vietnam.  He loved it, and he loved to tell stories about his adventures of cooking while in the middle of a turbulent, roiling sea.  When he re-upped, they sent him to mine school, and he became a demolition expert and retired at 22 years of service.  He's no longer with us, and I miss him and his hilarious, descriptive sea-bound cooking tales.

  I'm US Army 1980-1983. I took our cooks for granted, but I really should not have. I ate well in the army, so here I would like to salute all the cooks in the US Military. You guys rock!

  Can you imagine a submariner from 1940 looking at this?

  ..I was USN 81-85, but on a surface ship. I will never forget the experience I had while in the Navy. The food was always good and I made some terrific friends. This was 40 years ago,  and I still have fond memories. Boot camp was a little scary tho I will admit. LOL...Good luck to all the young sailors just starting their careers in the military. After graduating from HS, if college is not for you, consider the military.

  The Chefs at Great Lakes Naval Training Command in the mid 80's were amazing.  Some of the best military food I had ever eaten.  Thanks to all the great chefs in our Armed Forces !!!!

  Those who never spent 90 or 100 days onboard a nuclear sub under so-called  "paragraph 9" (no surfacing, no  offboard communication for enlisted, no contacts with the rest of.the world), those guys and gals would never be able to fully understand what having a good meal three times a day means for the crew. It's a pivotal thing, a force that keeps you sane, THE force that makes it possible to get through such a mission and gey back home. The US Navy Culinary Specialists, you are, indeed, one of the most important parts of the Navy!

  Lol! I served my sea time on submarines. It was an all hands evolution. The fresh fruits and vegetables, it last about 45-50 days. Then canned, dehydrated would be used. The older boats, Cold War era, had a crew of about 160, missile boats, fast attack, about 100, diesel boats about 75-80. Missile boats about 180 days, average. Everything came through a 2 foot diameter hatch. It did take time. The cooks, these guys WERE the real magicians. They could make canned and dehydrated food taste like mom's home cooking. At Sub Base New London in the enlisted dinning facility (EDF)  there was a sign above the chow line that proudly stated " Through these lines pass the best fed sailors in the fleet". I was the Doc, Independent Duty Corpsman, on Sub's. Left sub fleet in 1985. I started in Submarines in 1979 at Naval Base Subic P.I. diesel sub there. I served on all three types of submarines. Several different classes of Submarines
