and out of all the military services the Navy had the best Chow. No tech data pretty much the only thing to look forward to on a ship was food. I suppose, however after spending a few months in a Navy brig for fighting I knew they had the best food. Every time we were near a Navy base during meal time we would stop in and have dinner lunch or breakfast. Sometimes I almost wanted to ge3t thrown in the brig so I could enjoy a weeks worth of good food.
 
Jon,

If you thought we ate well, you haven't eaten with the boat crews. Those guys had the best grub around. They were eating t-bone steak when we were eatin' beans and weenies :mad:

You're right, though... Navy spares no expense when it comes to the mess. The messmen know their stuff.

Breakfast aboard ship is a meal all by itself. Eggs to order and omelets any way ya want 'em. Hash browns, sweet rolls, all made fresh. We had a bakery right off the mess decks. Fresh bread and cookies every day.

I'll always remember the night when we had lobster. And I don't mean the crawdad look-alike nonsense that passes for lobster in restaurants today. These were huge lobster tails. One took up the whole plate. And it's all you can eat. :)

We took on stores in Europe once and ended up with more cheese than could be served. So it was given away to the men. Man, we all ate so damned much cheese we were stopped up, lol.

Ahh... the memories. :)

Question - We know that Marines have balls. Any other branches have their own balls?

Yeah the Navy has their own Holiday Ball too.... they allow enlisted to attend but it's dress only and I don't mean the crackerjack uniform I mean tux style uniforms.... very high brow not many enlisted attend below Chief.

I had a paddle wheel boat Drag racer and mine was the coolest looking got a blue ribbon for the coolest looking drag boat. However I won my first race easily but my Dad used modeling glue and the rudder underneath fell off and would no longer go straight.
