betterhelp is literally false advertising. they don't have trained professionals, they sell your medical data (which is illegal in the US), and their emergency line is staffed by people who are given literally no training in some cases. i don't mind things like raid shadow legends because those scummy businesses are at least upfront with how they are trying to scam you. betterhelp is breaking laws. i really don't wanna unsub from this channel but i have from others if they consistently take sponsorships from such companies.

[@stevenslater2669]

I was surprised about the restrictions on desserts, especially ice cream. When I was in the Boy Scouts around 1954, the troop toured a destroyer at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. You know what I remember about that visit? The soda fountain in the Crew Mess. A giant soda fountain! And each of us got our choice of ice cream soda, sundae, milk shake, etc. Boy were those treats good! The ship was being decommissioned from the U.S. Navy and transferred to the Navy of a South American country. I don’t remember which one. The sailors from the new country had permission to bring aboard anything they could carry. We saw a bunch of sailors coming up the gangway with washing machines, refrigerators & other major appliances on carts. I guess those things were rare in their home country, but plentiful in Philadelphia. All I wanted to see was the engine room, but we weren’t allowed into that space.

My son is a Naval Submariner. He said the food was pretty good at first, but got bad towards the end until they could resupply. He also noted that it depended on where they got their food. He deployed 3 times, and each experience was very different, because he was in different parts of the world. He's still in the Navy, but now on land for a few years, unless a conflict arises. I pray for that not to happen every day. God bless our men and women in the service. No matter what branch they are in.

When I was in the Navy in the 1970s and 1980s, the Navy cooks were called Mess Speclist. And the meals were usually a mess.🤮 The best meals I ever had were the ones I cooked myself when I was at a small shore station and resided off base.

[@paulstuartwilson485]

I gotta jump in here and say something. The United States Navy has the best chow of any branch of the Armed Forces of the United States. This is not just my opinion, this has been proven over decades by multiple different surveys and multiple different ways of determining what's good and what's not. I served 6 years in the USN and I was always absolutely amazed at how good the food was onboard ship. It didn't matter where we were either. In port in our home port in the US or in the middle of a combat zone for weeks/months on end, the food served aboard my ship and other ships I was fed on was top notch and it didn't matter which meal it was. Breakfast, lunch, supper, or midrats was always good. Period. I had occasion to eat at Army facilities, Air Force facilities and once at a Coast Guard place and all fell short of Navy chow, although the Coast Guard was pretty damned close. Navy cooks/culinary specialists are the best in the world at what they do. And, speaking just for myself, I was and am still very grateful and amazed at the outstanding jobs these people did and continue to do. I've met cross branch personnel who came from other branches to the Navy just because of the food. 👍🇺🇸

[@NMJZ]

I think the Navy ultimately does a better job with a chow hall than the Army does. In the Army, soldiers can either go to the chow hall, AKA the DFAC(Dining FACility) or if they are married/of a high enough rank, they are alotted BAS(Basic Allowance for Subsistence) & BAH(Basic Allowance for Housing) which they can use for groceries. Before, BAS was something that everyone got, regardless of what rank you had or if you were married. Eventually, that was taken away from single soldiers living in the barracks, with leadership citing "misuse of BAS", which meant that you now had to go to the DFAC or use money from your base pay to eat elsewhere/get groceries. Compared to the Navy, where galley seating might be segregated based on rank, but pretty much everyone goes there on a ship and since you have everybody go there, you know the cooks have to really put in the effort to make good food. At the DFAC, the food quality is wildly inconsistent from days when the DFAC is "undersupplied"(not sure how true this is) to days when they literally close the DFAC and give "food supplies" to the soldiers that need them. Add in the fact a lot of soldiers, both cooks and non-cooks don't have a great time at the DFAC whether they are paying to eat there (married/high ranking) or have to eat there and you get a chow hall that really sucks. Perhaps they should just go back to giving everyone BAS at the minimum. Even the cooks that I know hate being/eating there.
