Hands down hardest workers on ship are the cooks. She ain't lying, 16hrs 7 days a week.

[@rajkiran1982]

why can't they get more people and reduce the hours per person

[@currrrrly618]

@@rajkiran1982 there's a breaking point where more people don't equal to less work. plus, if you're in a ship where everything is space constrained, there are a lot less thing that can be optimized. mess work in ship is a hell, not only in military, but also in cruise ships and merchant ships

I worked galley in the Navy. The in civilian life thought it would translate well in restaurants. First place was French which had a former military chef, a lot of ppl complained on how rough it was, but it felt natural to me. It wasn’t until I went into normal restaurants did I realize that most kitchens are unorganized and inefficient. Way too many egos and confused objects.

[@InternetArbiter]

so uhh did it translate well or not?

[@koryxfrissoner4163]

Long working hours is normal for navy sailors when at sea and we work everyday too (no day off!). I'm an engineer and I typically work 12+ hrs/day if things are working well and if something is broken then I'm up until it gets fixed since the ship repairs cannot wait. We get day off only when we visit a port which could be after a few weeks of non-stop work and not on ship duty. All of that extra work is unpaid since there's no over time pay in the military. Only while at sea do you truly get to appreciate what our sailors sacrifice.

[@MayorMcheese12]

Such a bunch of bs. They want people to join the military yet they dont want to compensate for it. No overtime pay, constantly working, long hour days, For what? Just to come back home broke with no way to get back into normal society? I still wanna join but still.

[@chrisculley3756]

I'm so glad that I was in special operations with the 75th Ranger regiment 3rd Battalion. If you ever want to talk about being spoiled when it comes to food we were. We got an omelette stations and get to pick and choose what you want to eat what you want to eat I mean just a variety we used to have surf and turf day on Friday. Our chow hall was better than some restaurants. So FYI for all of you that are young and thinking about joining. Whatever service that you choose to join. Try and get into whatever Special Operations unit that military service has. It's a whole different world. That was comparable to served Battalion 75th chow hall was maybe 5th groups in Fort Campbell. Their chow hall was pretty damn good. RLTW 3/75

[@Auchaser643]

16 hours in a kitchen, fuck that. Don't know how chefs do it.

[@TheTardis157]

For chefs, usually blow lol. For anyone in the military it will be energy drinks, Celcius, Red Bull, copious amounts of coffee. Whatever works. I do contracting with the Air Force and only have to feed roughly 600 with a crew of 15 or less. It is definitely a challenge to say the least.

[@disturbedmaynard3873]

Have to admit, the best food I had in the Marine Corps was on a ship, or at the base at Coronado. At 29 Palms, or Pendleton, , you ate at the chow hall when you were low on money.
