Navy OCS 07-11G Graduation Chow Hall Procedures

Our demonstration of chow hall procedures to our families.

[@cristiansalinas9105]

Such discipline. I have so much respect for the men and women who chose and joined the Navy and had the guts to face the drill instructor and sometimes go out into war.

[@howellwong11]

I went through Navy OCS in 1956 and it wasn't this regimented. The mess hall was run by a civilian contractor, so we didn't have to pull KP duty. We just stood in line, get our food, eat, take the empty trays back, and leave.

[@boomerang6130]

Same for me....things sure have changed. LOL

[@mathgeekphysics]

it must be embarrassing to eat like this while your family is watching

[@mainstreamanime9484]

I’d tell them not to come lol

[@MisterTomcat]

These men and women have nothing to be embarrassed of.

[@tjj5337]

They are amazing and have everything to be proud of…. Their parents are proud🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@larrylutz6316]

Air Force veteran here. Thank you fine men and women who are officers in our US Navy. The US Navy has no rival, no comparison. Simply the best at what they do. Same will be said of our Marines, Soldiers, Coasties, and Airmen. We are the best in the world. The best of what America is wears our uniforms. Godspeed.

[@davidhoffman1278]

It seems an ally of ours used some modern versions of quiet diesel-electric submarines to successfully sneak up and "sink" some of our nice loud nuclear submaines during a war game. It was the US Navy that interfered with the US Air Force's plans for the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System. We ended up with an inferior turboprop system because the Navy claimed the Air Force was unecessarily biased towards a turbojet trainer. In reality it was the Navy who was uneccesarily biased toward their buddies Beachcraft and Raytheon and their obsession with turboprops. The USMC is a great group, except for the idiotic and fund stealing F-35 program which was supposed to correct the significant deficiencies of the AV8 program. It hasn't done that. But the Navy and the Air Force were forced to participate in the program to effectively bail it out. So now we end up with all three services dealing with a problem prone weapon system.

[@hauntedfog]

i hope after all was said and done the drill instructor gave them some love/praise before they left and congratulated them, they were great! and those sweatshirts are so badass, i would have kept mine in glass up on a wall forever as a keep sake

[@splintercell275]

I did this every meal breakfast lunch and dinner when I was there. It was just as much of a pain in the ass as it looks.

[@bloodraven6452]

What is the purpose of that ???? ... I had experience in my army with the drills during the food time but nothing like this ... for as was usual to in the middle of the lunch gives as the order to start running around the table on the STOP you have to seat on the chair where you at and continue to eat doesn't matter that is not your plate I learn fast that first what you doing is to take your peace of meat from plate in the hand and run whit it .... lol ...

[@silentbovo1]

@Jefferson Mason The idea is that you learn how to take orders before giving them. It's just part of the indoctrination phase that every recruit in the military should go through.

[@aggamonster1073]

@Bitch Pudding Wrong, Officers take orders from superior officers and try to make it happen. And his/her ass is responsible of getting them done or it will be a short career...

[@Kangarooboxersclub]

I used to see you guys in the chow hall. I went to NAPS c/o 2011. I went there from the enlisted ranks with 2 years of service already and I remember a lot of the ocs guys hated the athletes. Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lmfao thanks for your service bro.

[@IntercontinentalArmy]

I'm glad I didn't have to go through such. The day I completed OCS. I was deployed back to Falujah, Iraq by way of an 18 hour flight! O7-11G was my Graduating OCS Class though. I never saw one of my comrades again either! I was old enough to be a parent to most of The Cadets! I might be The Oldest OCS Grad in US Navy History also!

[@JoeyDrylvlup]

[@miltonflores3186]

If you do that in Marine Boot Camp to a Di....he would make you 🤮 every single piece of chow for the rest of the week.

[@web5271]

I graduated from Navy OCS Newport RI 1987 Class 006. This dining hall does not look familiar, maybe it's changed or maybe it was at a different location. This was pretty much how it was back then. I don't remember much, because I was always hallucinating from lack of sleep, but what I do remember is that we had so little time to eat our meal; maybe about two minutes. We had a spoon in one hand and a fork in the other and were not chewing at all, just shoving it down as fast as we could. Couldn't be very good for our digestive systems.

[@drinksnapple8997]

Dont forget you had to drink two glasses of water before you ate anything.

[@robbiesmith1381]

Thing is, once (most of) these recruits make it on board, the shouting pretty much stops. You can actually eat in chow hall with your friends and talk, and laugh, and what not. You really only get this kind of verbal abuse at boot camp in your military training.

[@Primusux]

That is incorrect. You clearly never went through Navy OCS. We eat by the numbers daily, 3 times per day, until we became Class Officers, around week 10.

[@gabrielgalinski8875]

@@Primusux Do you eat by the numbers the entire meal? Or does the DI give you a chance to eat on your own after a while of doing this?

This makes me think "do I really want to be a Mustang?" May God be with me!

[@warshipsdd-2142]

The candidates have the "luxury" of plates and chairs. marine boots in my day had shipboard trays, benches, and 3 minutes to "At ease! Eat! Get Out!" The goal is the same, get with the program and focus on the assigned mission. Good luck to you, the officers corps relies on good mustangs.

Literally over here pondering the same 😂

They are fully trained, as this is graduation and they are still being creamed at like day 1 recruits. It serves no purpose at all.

[@raymond3855]

Agreed and I'm glad I didn't go through this when I attended school.

[@gtrdline]

You sound like a soy eating bitch. They are demonstrating discipline and cohesion. When they hit the fleet they will be keen to details that would rather be overlooked to the untrained slobs, their leadership will shine because of their training.

[@SupportSquirrel]

My God-Daughter's husband is about to hit the fleet and his response to this treatment is "Some of us will be launching insanely destructive missiles that have HUNDREDS of pages. Skip 1 step and you kill your shipmates or bomb the wrong people. This proves you have the discipline and focus to NOT skip steps, to NOT cut corners and to do things right the first time every time"

Weak @ss Navy officers...Ladies Dept.

[@vanaus6801]

Now that's ludicrous! And yes, I'm a Veteran. I can understand all the other things done in the name of responsibility and discipline, but this routine should end upon the commencement of eating. Naval Academy and I suspect others as well, adopt this routine of eating a, 'square meal'. Nevertheless, I believe it's rediculious and otherwise demeaning.

[@TheCabledawg1]

And it certainly doesn't carry out to the real Navy.

[@TheGav0071]

I believe a square meal refers to the fact that it contains items from all four main food groups.

[@bossnarwhale7342]

I think they’re also putting on a show for the guests

[@Kingx90]

[@zekeigtos7240]

I am hoping this was some sort of prearranged display for families where those involved had been briefed about it. I was in the Navy for about 20 years, and I would have a real problem if I ever saw a training platoon braced up and yelled out and held at the position of attention in a mess hall full of civilians who were watching and taking pictures.

[@Lngshirt]

I don't remember being told to eat and drink. 1984 Navy Orlando and the women were on the whole other side of the chow hall.

Choreographed as good as any musical play I've ever seen. Why do they hold their arms out before they sit? It would be cool if we had a commentator explaining all the moves. I thoroughly enjoyed this. The more I watch these clips the more I understand why we have a great military.

[@silentbovo1]

When they stick their arms out, they usually have their "gouches" aka their notepads for studying. If you're not doing anything, you're supposed to be studying. I'm assuming they didn't have it for this specific day because of a drill that disallowed them to bring it.

attention to detail an offers job

[@millitrix9866]

Also, why do they have to do that thing with their left hand/arm before they sit down to eat?

[@deanbenson9393]

Millitrix Under normal circumstances, before you hit Candidate Officer phase beginning Week 10, Chow Hall is where you study your gouge for inspections. You have to hold your gouge pack (a small, pocket sized notebook), straight out in front of you while waiting for your classmates to get to their seats. If you get to your seat first, your arm gets pretty fatigued waiting for your classmates to get to theirs.

[@millitrix9866]

Dean Benson You study your gouge for inspections? What does that mean?

[@deanbenson9393]

Millitrix You have 3 major inspections while at Navy OCS during weeks 3, 6, and 9, with your week 3 inspection being the most intense. Basically, there's about 15-20 pages worth of "inspection knowledge" (ie: general orders of a sentry, rank structure, code of conduct, etc) that you have to know verbatim for your week 3 inspection. During the inspection, the Marine DI's and Navy Chiefs come into your rooms, inspect for cleanliness, yell and scream at you while making you do PT non-stop, rummage through all your shit and throw it all over the place, and the whole while you're screaming all this memorized inspection knowledge (verbatim) at the top of your lungs. Anyways, the 3-4 minutes that you're waiting to sit down for chow is one of the few opportunities that you have to memorize your inspection knowledge that you are supposed to have copied into your gouge pack.

[@deanbenson9393]
