I don't know why I love these military cooking vids so much, but I do.
Ditto
I do too!!! Lol
They don't get much sleep
А Я ВООБЩЕ НЕ ТО ЧТО КУХНЮ И ВОЕННЫХ НЕНАВИЖУ НА ЧУЖОЙ ТЕРРИТОРИИ😅
Me too but I don't like gas stoves 👍
When I served in Donauwörth in the 70s as a Sergeant, I had the deepest respect for those soldiers preparing our meals. They used to cook for over 1,000 men. And even now I still remember their dedication, the quality and the huge varieties of food served. From Asian food, to typical German dishes and comfort food, including burgers and fries. But also Hungarian goulash and Italian evenings were organized. Our commander (great guy), joined the kitchen to cook Indonesian dishes. He did that once every 6 weeks, and every single soldier no matter what, was there and repeating to fill their plates. Great times in Germany.
Теперь от тех времён не осталось и следа, Кушайте больше,да так чтоб весили по центнеру. Мы вам потом поможем похудеть я вам как РУССКИЙ говорю. Историю надо помнить , ну не чего напомним.
Lies again? Grab Food USD SGD
not gonna lie... when I was active duty you cooks were bad ass!!! thank you!
I’ve seen army cooks put on some of the best thanksgiving spreads in my life during my time in the 82nd! True story!
I had a older E-6 staff Sgt feel like cooking a meal, he made some spaghetti, the spaghetti sauce came out like red water, We told him to stay out of the kitchen, when Thanksgiving and Xmas came, i seen that E-6 make the best Ice Carvings and Cakes etc, the Dfac definitely can put out some amazing spreads when i was in.
I've come across cooks that made you forget you had been in the field for 17 days. The food was that good. Big up cooks.
Army cooks are the real heroes. Thank you all for your service!
Man! So all the raw food served in the ARMY, the small portions, the drug addict cooks who always become cooks. You tripping! And they all messing with one another as well. Yes I’m retired Army
Army field kitchens crank out a great breakfast…Thank you from a retired Air Force Vet who spent many a meal with the USA in the field.
This was my job when I served in the Army.
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸👍

thats what i did from 79 to 82 ft bliss tx . active duty u .s army cook . i can still go in like 35 yrs have not passed . even cooked for 5 stars gen omar bradley thanksgiving dinner . came to my mess hall with his team 90yrs old ? died 7 months after . he liked eating with his soldiers . he was retired but lived on ft bliss hospital on honorary allowed base till he died .
Army cooks are the real life savers. Those hot meals really made a shtty day turn into a great day.
damn the guys in the comments praise their military food so much that it makes me want to enlist in the army. it looks really good..
As a former SAC man, I can't recall ever getting bad chow. Goose AB in Labrador and Homestead AFB in Florida, the chow hall served well prepared and tasty dishes. This was back in the 60s and I imagine USAF food is even better today.
Using the slicer without guard is crazy 0:55
Thanks for sharing our activity to the world
A lot of people run their mouth and talk shit about mess specialist but don't pay attention to them. These are usually sick call rangers and the other assorted slackers. Napoleon Bonaparte once said " an army march's on it's stomach" and Julius Caesar had designed a system that paired soldiers could produce their own bread in the field. Aside from the nutritional value needed to keep a soldier moving food is a tremendous morale booster. On large fixed bases mess specialists are up early preparing breakfast for hundreds of people. While serving and cleaning up they're preparing lunch. This continues around the clock as they prepare for dinner and the late meal. They also have field units that can prepare meals in the field. Other methods of getting hot meals are using insulated containers and serving meals from them. While it may not be a five star meal it is greatly appreciated in lue of another MRE. These folks take pride in making sure our soldiers are fed the highest quality meals as possible. When you're wet and cold seeing those guys opening steaming containers of food is like Christmas morning. Those that haven't been there wouldn't understand. For those of us that have appreciate and thank our mess specialists.
When I assumed command of an army company in 1970, the food was crap. I walked into the chow hall and the little fat mess sergeant was wearing a filthy T shirt, bent over a pot of mashed potatoes, dripping sweat into the pot. It made me so mad I grabbed him from behind and the shirt ripped off (couldn't do that today). Told him to get out of that mess hall and never come back except to eat, and he better eat in the rear where I couldn't see him. Then I relieved the mess officer and made myself mess officer. Sent to the field for an E7 platoon sergeant, who was part owner of a restaurant in civvy life. Made him the new mess sergeant. Told him he had 2 months to win best mess hall in the battalion; he agreed with a big grin. We found a lot of problems that got fixed very fast. On one, I jumped chain of command and went straight to the IG and it resulted in a 2 star forced to retire and his crooked brother in front of the FBI (brother was in the food supply business and the old stuff that could not be sold to stores was shipped to the post). We ended up with best mess in the BN, later best on the entire post. You could never imagine what that did for the troops morale. I inspected that mess hall every day, and the cooks loved it, 'cause I could find nothing wrong. Damn, I enjoyed that.
I was impressed with the food from the USA. I ran through two army programs as a cadet in one summer. The best chow we got was in the middle of nowhere in Ft Carson. The Snr MSGT working out of a Quonset hut produced amazing food in the field with hungry RECONDO cadets looking for their next meal. It was a great contrast These small things really matter and I still remember them 40 yrs later. And as a pilot and a cook, much respect for the cooks.
I was a cook in the Army in the early 80s...we never had steak. We had ham, sometimes turkey. But the Army made us live on ground beef most of the time.

Берите пример с украинцев. И хватит ныть. Арабы ни когда небыли войнами.

Hsving good hot meals not only nourishes the body and recharges an exhausted, beat body, it means things are alright. Lines are secure. We're not being bombed or attacked so the cooks can prepare hot meals for the troops. The unsung heroes that keep everyone going. God bless them.
I don't know about Army chow, but I can say Navy chow was almost always very good. I know the mess cooks worked hard and long hours. It did not matter on a ship, they worked 24 hours a day and food was available 24 hours a day. I know we went through a lot of coffee and if you stood the mid-watch even a lot more. These Army cooks look like they are doing a great job. Thank you Army. Shalom
I remember a field exercise, in the mid-70s, in South Carolina. We were all cold and wet...then a jeep shows up, carrying a few big plastic containers of God-knows-what. Turns out, it was scrambled eggs, and grits with the consistency of mashed potatoes. I don't think I've had a breakfast that tasted so good, ever since. 🇺🇸👍
Thanks for your service. . . .God bless you all!
I can honestly say that after serving more than 31 years in the Army, I've never had a bad meal. Maybe I was a shark in a past life but wow, the food was most excellent.
That was a very long time bro but I know time run very fast I am 21 year old and now my job take my all day time 😢
You def had good Meals at pentagon
Very good 🧑🍳🧑🍳
I'm calling you a liar.
God Bless all cooks in the military~you fed us well, 24/7 in the most dire situations~You deserve the Congressional Medal of Honor (you saved millions of lives)~~
lol bunch of killers
@@grandiboubaker607lol just y’all
I was a cook in the Navy and it was tons of fun and I had every hook up imaginable.The down size is it was too much gruesome work with endless cleaning with not much in return in regards for making rank because it was so competitive because of the rate being understaffed compared to other jobs in the fleet!!! I cooked for the chiefs and officers mess. I literally ate like royalty for 4 years then left with an honorable discharge very happy and proud for my accomplishment being a Veteran of the U.S. 😅
Why was it "gruesome"?
I was allowed to eat in the Mess Hall when I worked on Post. It is the very best food one could ever find. I was thankful for the dedication of the staff, and always clean. Most important thing to have good hot cooked food in a place that is clean. They do a great job.
Hats off to these guys & gals...!!!
Hats off for what? Invading other nations, killing millions and serving the US empire? Many of them are blacks. They serve because they get paid and also get college tuition grants.
Was impressed at the with the smooth operations within the kitchens, everyone knew what they had to do to get the food prepared and ready for a bunch of hungry men and women. Good food and other amenities will help with new recruits for the military.
It's easy. And a lot of it you have to chalk up to sheer repetition. You have a meeting at the beginning of shift, the menu laid out, tasks assigned, and it goes from there. I was most impressed making 10 giant lasagnas in school. 8 of us arranged worktables in a circle, and so it begins. The first cook takes a tray, ladles it with sauce, and passes. The next cook lays down noodles, passes. the next lays down filling, passes, Next, cheese. And so on. Voila! 10 lasagnas, 20 pieces each, in 10 minutes..
"Was impressed at the with the.." what the..?
Comen demasiadas grasas, luego se retiran porque no pueden en la guerra como en Afganistán
Was in Air Force 7+years and the food was mostly excellent, a few exceptions Osan Korea , main chow hall at chanute but they did serve thousands per meal at chanute we had chow halls in the barracks (the new ones) during the week that were restaurant quality this was in 1973 . I worked security in a Florida prison for 17 years with 18-26 year olds now That was an EXPERIENCE 😮
I retired from the AF with 20 years of service and during the first half of my career, served at five different bases. The chow hall food quality at the first four assignments was marginally edible most days (the worst was a remote Alaskan tour), and AF food service personnel staffed all of these facilities. My fifth PCS was a long tour in Germany, and local civilian nationals operated the chow hall which produced outstanding food with variety of selections. During my final CONUS assignments, civilian contractors prepared and served the food at all the base chow halls, and the food quality was excellent.
I join the army for 7 years i remember that having a good dinner kerps going so keep doing the good work👍
Outstanding!
Is a “culinary specialist” the the same as a “cook”? Looks like c-rats have been phased out! 😂😂😂
Yes, and yes.
Yes, just giving fancy names to mediocrity.
God bless these brave men and women protecting our country!
Amazing military cooks serving the people's army of American!
1:08 "That's uh... That's a weed knife" 😂
No one is more professional than a cook.
OMG sloppy joe's military style, I miss the mess hall SO MUCH, when I was in the army, I would eat till they dragged me out for a smoke :)
They sure looked good
I enjoy watching how the officials prepare the food, It does not matter if It Is meat, poultry o vegetables ir whatever else, with no doubt the ration Will be excelent, besides cooked medium for taking an standard, if there Is an opportunity maybe as you want to...receive blesses for your great job...
A lot of people think that k.p. duty is a means of military punishment. I pulled k.p. duty three times,simply because my name came up on the duty roster and I gotta tell you I didn't mind it a bit.
I didn't hate KP. I was on the duty roster during boot camp.
The toughest course in the military is the Cooks course, no one has passed it yet....
I never did a tour of duty with the fry cooks but on Parris Island I did 10 days of pots and pans. It was a bottomless pit 20 hours a day. It was one of the worst things I ever did. After that, the entire platoons greatest fear was upon graduation, we'd be commandeered to serve with the fry cooks.
So, I think it's quite easy to defend the use of field kitchens. I imagine they are very handy when preparing meals for units in training or on operations. ... Perhaps the video creator intended to use the word "indispensable" instead of, "indefensible". 🤣
Da werden Soldaten gemästet. Passen die noch in die Flugzeuge hinein.😂
This would make Chef Ramsey so proud.
I only have 27 days left in the U.S. Army IRR. I’m a 92 G as well.
Thank you for your service!🇺🇸👍
So you can barely boil water...
Nah. I can. Dude. I only have 6 days left in my 8 year U.S. Army contract.
Are you out now ????
How's it going now?

Good demonstration of U S ARMY. Nepal.
I'll have the SOS on toast. Then a side of SOS on my veggies. Then a slice of SOS for desert. And a cup of blackened SOS.
Felicitaciones al cuerpo del ejercito de los estados unidos, eso es ayudar a las personas. Saludos desde el estrecho de magallanes...
In the years i served in both the army and air force we went from boxed c-rats to mre's. The food varied a lot from base to base but for sure i never went hungry.
Rayos y truenos, jamás imaginé ver al gran Mario Barakus de Los Magníficos cómo cocinero en el minuto 4:21.
C'est un vrai Macdonald l'armée
I still remember my first ever army "chow”, having been drafted in 03/1968, still in the reception area at Ft Dix, standing in line at a large mess hall, nicknamed the "big deuce", then while shuffling through the vestibule, watching cockroaches 🪳🪳🪳 scurrying up and down the doorframe.
I guess all these good people lucked out ! I did not see Sargent SNAFU anywhere in any of those kitchens ! :O)
Very professional ❤❤❤wow. .. 😮😮Nice gays
I use to do this job in the Navy from 2000-2008 as a CS3 SW/AW. I USE TO BE ON THE DWIGHT D EISENHOWER, NAVAL SUPPORT ACTIVITY BARRACKS, USS NASSAU LHA-4, NATIONAL NAVAL MEDICAL CENTER, AND. THE USNS COMFORT.
We went from kitchen cooks to snipers. I was waiting for the dog to jump out of the plane and start attacking folks. But what do I know, I'm just a civilian. 😁
You made me laugh,, your last sentence
It’s a shame that the C130 has been retired, one iconic work horse 😢
No, it most certainly has not been retired.
they are still been used here in guantanamo bay cuba navy base
Thinks for your service
Thank you, to all the cooks the Army..85 to 88
I’m a navy veteran… And my food was good on those six month deployments at sea! Seafood everyday if you wanted or something else
I was USAF, but ate at more than a few Army facilities. The motto of US Army cooks? "Death. From Within!"
Hermosas aeronaves
Nice kitchen good kooks military
Great job!
I was in the Army a while ago but the food on base was always really good!
Вот она армия мира!!!

Ignore petty arguments, cook that food fam
That is the key to great chef, love the job.❤
My mother worked on this same thing in an institution in Chile.

I still believe that some of the best culinary schools are found in the military.

I am a Navy veteran and retired Army 1SG and in most all of the units I was stationed, not one cook could back up their MKT trailers. Having been raised on a ranch/farm, backing up trailers or farming implements was taught to me probably before I could ride a bike. I do not know why TRADOC doesn’t teach this in AIT to ‘all’ soldiers? When a specialist or sergeant has to train them in garrison or the field, it takes them away from the mission. When I was brigade/battalion master driver trainer, I focused a helluva lot on trailers…from water buffaloes to flat beds. 🫡🤙 letting soldiers pick through a pallet of MRE’s…man, like Christmas. Always tell a newbie when they rip the end of the MRE meal pouch vs. along the top to keep food from getting on your fingers. Unless they give mondo size spoons/forks now.
Eating good ✊

Luv the presentation
Beans bullets and bandaids. 0351's like me love the chefs. The chow hall or hot food in the field is a little piece of Heaven. It can not be underestimated. W/O them? Nothing is done to it's optimum performance.
я закончил военное училище в России в 2003 году, смотря на военнослужащих США (извините) бросается в глаза полнота военных. С таким весом нормативы по физической культуре в России не сдать.

Так хорошо кормя, такое вооружение...а Афганистан прос-али...😂🤣😅
Wow, I didn’t realize how effort went into feeding the soldiers on base. I am trying to get information on what to send to my 19 year old that is coming up on his first year in the service.
Send money. Unless he's posted to rural west Africa, southern Philippines, or worst of all, southern New Jersey, send him cash.
Good job !
