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

[-] HKPiax@lemmy.world 63 points 1 month ago

That’s one jucy plate of bread, green beans, lettuce with cum, and diarrhea. Accompanied by a glass of piss.

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.

Legitimately looks like prison food. And you don't even get metal cutlery?

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 55 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 month ago

Yeah honestly aside from the poor broccoli that got boiled to death, most of those plates look decent.

It's so nice to see Comic Sans actually being used for its intended purpose.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 month ago

Yes it actually looks great in the correct context, tbh.

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.

Definitely freeze dried astronaut food.

[-] shuzuko@midwest.social 18 points 1 month ago

That shit is delicious. Every time we went to some kind of space-related museum growing up I would bug the shit out of my parents until they got some for me. I felt so freaking cool eating it.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I always look for these in tourism destination gift stores. I love them!

What's going on in the navy?

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 76 points 1 month ago

They're schlorping schlongs.

Where do we sign up?!

[-] NOPper@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Was a submariner, can confirm.

[-] Endorkend@kbin.social 45 points 1 month ago

It's an age old running "joke" they are gay and effeminate, hence the female looking person gobbling a sausage.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 20 points 1 month ago

I see. First though was maybe I should have joined the navy but now.....maybe I should have joined the navy.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

[-] tal 20 points 1 month ago

Food in the US military

Is this actually credible?

No. The CIA isn't military.

[-] Ummdustry@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 month ago

The CIA isn't acting in the interest of the united states either, but still here we are

100 percent. Just never mix Army and CIA. It spawns a level 5 entity that the black helicopter guys have to take care of.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
