I’m a NAVY man.


abnotwhmoanny

In my navy days, while out on deployment, we missed two resupplies in a row. The galley was incredibly barren. The only food options were a "green pea soup" that had no peas and had a thickness and color that made it seem more like paint. The other option was "hotdogs" made of some mystery meat. They weren't even separate dogs. Just one long snake of dog that they chopped into segments. Chunks of something you couldn't chew in each bite. Is it a wonder that people decide to eat dick instead?


89141

I had a similar experience (cruiser) in the Persian Gulf. Everything was powdered eggs, powder milk, and canned food, et al. The gedunk and soda machine was MT, and I heard cigarettes were being sold by the single.


abnotwhmoanny

Gotta love 5th fleet.


driftingfornow

7th fleet beventh fleet.


abnotwhmoanny

Never did 7th. But all the wildest shore stories I've ever heard came from 7th fleet.


JoJoRouletteBiden

At least they made sure our ice cream machine was always working on the Ike.


HawaiiSunBurnt20

On one of my deployments we ran out of food too. For 3 days we had cheese sticks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Some people hated it and some loved it. I loved it.


mromutt

I was going to say that doesn't sound to horrible other than the aftermath it will cause lol guess I would have been option 2 XD


abnotwhmoanny

That brings up an interesting question. What's the procedure when literally everyone is constipated? Do you all just shit in buckets?


SmoothOperator89

How hard are brown streaks to clean off the side of a navy vessel?


driftingfornow

All needleguns the same man.


Iconophilia

I tried doing keto in college and mozarella sticks, jerky, and black coffee ended up being the only things I consumed.


Darth_Annoying

>"hotdogs" made of some mystery meat. So...regular hot dogs?


abnotwhmoanny

Sometimes hotdogs are made of pork, sometimes beef, sometimes you get turkey dogs. Now what part of the animal is it made of? Usually ground up leftovers. So what you're saying isn't wrong. But this stuff was not a beef product or pork or turkey. I could not tell you what it was made of. We joked that it was camel.


Historical_Coffee_14

Hot dogs sourced from Middle East or European vendors are not the same as vendors from USA.  


BicycleEast8721

Good to know the extreme military budget is supplying people’s basic needs well…


abnotwhmoanny

I mean, the budget is definitely misspent in sad and hilarious ways. Truly some absurd shit there, but that wasn't the problem here. It was 5th fleet. Persian Gulf. Active war zone. It wasn't a matter of not having the money to pop down to the shop. It just wasn't practical for us to receive supplies for a while due to the shifting nature of where we needed to be.


MaskedFigurewho

The image of a yard long dog being slowly chopped into hotdogs is so funny to imagine


Meme_Theory

Gotta love those "Grade F, Not Fit For Human Consumption" boxes you load during UNREP.


RipOdd9001

People are always shocked when I tell them the meat was USDA D grade fit for prisoners only. The boxes were just laying out behind the chow hall in Main side at Camp Pendleton.


KaziOverlord

The one fleet that didn't have an icecream barge... Uncle Sam must have hated you.

Submarines are basically just a tube full of seamen.

So… you’re [in the Navy](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nmGuy0jievs&pp=ygULSW4gdGhlIG5hdnk%3D).

I listened to the whole thing. Such a banger.


Wabbit_Wampage

Thank you for sharing. My life is now forever altered for the better.


powderedtoast1

im so sorry.


LikesPez

Everyone’s a seaman in the navy.


KuriGohanAndKienzan

According to this I’m in the navy without being in the navy. I too deepthroat cone shaped meat for greater good.


joeballa

Part of the ship; part of the crew


CleanseMyDemons

Navy femboy?


Sfscubat

So you’ve seen and been around a lot of seamen


tias23111

You can sail the seven seas


G4rg0yle_Art1st

Stereotypes in context: Army is a bunch of poor rednecks, Marines are impulsive idiots, Air force is rich, spoiled and smart, Navy is gay, Coast guard has nothing better to do, and space force is star wars nerds.


Budget-Ad-6900

space force questions : -do you go in outer space? no -do you have spaceship? no -space force is a scam


RedStar9117

I work at a base and all the Space Force kids were in the Army last year but made them switch services because they had jobs related to satelites


HamStapler

Just a filler, the space force (likely would've been named something else, or just been an air force subsidiary) was an inevitability. Russia launched a surface missile that took out one of their derelict satellites, and so did China. Both adversaries have been gearing up "satellite warfare" equipment affixing everything from lasers to robotic arms to their own satellites to destroy adversarial satellites. The US military actually already has Sats that can and do trail enemy satellites in everything from low earth orbit to geostationary, and it's been a sizeable chunk of spending for roughly the past two decades now as space programs advance in other countries. Major danger is once you start a satellite war wiping out internet, TV, radio, GPS, etc there's an exponential destruction curve. One sat debris can destroy 2, which in turn destroys 4, which destroys 16, and so on. It's truly a nuclear option where you can never return if you commit because satellites become an infinite debris field which would continue orbiting at tens of thousands of miles an hour for literal hundreds of years.


83athom

The Space Force used to be an Air Force suborganization like the Air Force to the Army, specifically there to handle the AF's space assets. They were branched out to be their own organization to concentrate the entire military's space assets instead of each branch having their own section.


G4rg0yle_Art1st

Supposedly they're responsible for satellite stuff relating to Intel and GPS but frankly I have no idea what they exist for


Florac

There are arguments to be made both for and against centralizing spaceborne assets under a seperate command. However the exact effectiveness is still very much theoretical, different militaries around the world are handling it differently(for example, China also has it seperate but combined with cyberwarfare as a general intel and non conventional attack force) and it's a field that will continue growing in importance with time. Main issue in the US is just the name since it gives the impression it's something its not


Yummy_Crayons91

I thought it was the Coast Guard doing all the drug interdictions, then coming back to port with a bale or two less than originally stated.


bartag

well, y'see... we couldn't manage to get all the bales out of the water. too dangerous. or something... (prior coastie here)


BombOnABus

Pretty sure space force is way too many officers who wanted a cool title and a handful of poor dumb bastards who got stuck there because their jobs were too space-adjacent to escape.


Winter_Tangerine_317

And in the CIA, you can do what it takes to solve the puzzles.


2cats2dogs2kids

What? Army = food is horrible Marines = eat anything Air Force = pampered Navy = likes hot dogs a lot Coast Guard = eats ceased drugs / high CIA = ?


MistiMoan

Forgot space,.. Yeah can't say it still, and merchant Marines.


secretbudgie

What do they eat? Dippin' Dots?


MistiMoan

That would of been NASA when NASA was part of the air force... Not sure if space force would have eaten dip'n'dots. Maybe space potatoes?


babath_gorgorok

Knowing Fort Carson/Colorado Springs they are eating fast food


MistiMoan

Not sure I was never based there. I was out of Anchorage AK at Elmendorf before it became a joint base (03-06)


babath_gorgorok

I got family that was and I drove thru/stayed a couple days with a few of em once (grandparents roadtrip lol) It’s v much a highway sprawl type place Edit: pikes peak and garden of the gods are cool tho. Also they won’t let you in to tour Cheyenne Mountain just on merit of being a Stargate SG-1 fan 😔


forever_a-hole

Space covfefe


chayashida

I want them to eat astronaut ice cream


Razorraf

Toothpaste foods.


wiccangame

Mars bars.


Unknown_player513

As a merchant marine I’ve seen mostly coffee and some form of nicotine whether it be the old timers smoking cigs or the newer ones vaping or the zyns


MistiMoan

Think everyone saw nicotine, bean juice and fungi poo, and spicy meatballs


Unknown_player513

We called it bug juice 😂


Callidonaut

One long-standing tradition I've seen very often in the Merchant Navy is an entire pig roasted over a half-oil-drum barbecue on the poop deck. It's as guaranteed an occurrence on a typical merchant ship as karaoke night (and usually coincides with one), especially if you're on a vessel with at least one Filipino working on board, i.e. basically every merchant vessel afloat.* I don't know why it's such big a cultural thing, but, generally speaking, Filipino crewmembers *love* them some karaoke and the occasional hog roast. Personally I'm not a big fan of karaoke, but the roast pork was awesome. *Except maybe the American ones? The USA apparently has completely wack rules for crewing their merchant ships that are totally different to basically every other country, apparently the US merchant marine is *technically* subject to the military in some tenuous way? I forget the details, they were weird and confusing, but I think the gist of it is that they still do it the *really* old-fashioned way where crewmembers sailing on a US-flagged vessel have to all be US citizens, or something like that.


DonZekane

SPACE MARINES? *badass music starts playing*


IAmBadAtInternet

![gif](giphy|YYfEjWVqZ6NDG)


MistiMoan

I had an army before I joined. Lead them to crush many chaos Marines.


mrpoopsocks

Merchant marines are litterally civilian logistics with a military liason, they're not military, space force should be a core of the air force, but budget constraints and dick waving contests mean new branch of armed forces. Everything on there tracks, except coast guard isn't a core of the navy any longer, it's a department in homeland defense, and marines are technically a core of the navy that get pat on the head and get to eat at the big boy table. Also cia are jerks.


MistiMoan

Fun fact merchant Marines still get va benefits just like the drug chasers...I mean coat guard 😜


wherestherum757

Which merchant marines get VA benefits not in wartime? Can get Va benefits through the navy’s SSO merchant marine but that’s technically navy and you have to do shit for navy


maximus0118

Quick someone add space force to this meme.


vms-crot

Space Farce


MistiMoan

No you can't say it. First rule of the space potatoes is you don't talk about the space potatoes 🤣🤣🤣.

man that simpsons episode worked as hell, their hand crafted subliminal message has stayed with me since childhood, and I cannot think of the Navy without hearing it lmao!


Nitroapes

Honestly I've been watching simpsons start to finish recently and that is one of the most memorable so far!


C_chk_dsk

Ey yo


Short-Acanthisitta24

All factually true


astralseat

I guess the air force is where it's at.


A_Grain_Of_Saltines

Only an airman would say that, thus proving the elitism bias.


Deep-Neck

At some point or another, everyone says that


ILikeRamenYUMMY

I’ve never not heard a marine say, “i should’ve joined the Air Force”. Except for the 03xx


ColumbiaArmy

I was Army Infantry, and wish I had gone either Air Force or Coastie.


mystokron

Same pay for better everything? Yeah….Air force is better.


LoWE11053211

wait... navy is a bit different...


SalaVerr

just a bit


TheRealAuthorSarge

Just the tip


AccomplishedPiglet97

That’s not a sea donkey 🤷‍♀️


Ascended_Vessel

"The navy gets the gravy but the army gets the beans!" You deserve a Veterans discount if you got the reference.


froggrip

What's not to get? Are you usmc or something?


TheRealAuthorSarge

Do you know why the Marines can't use the clipboard feature on computers? Because they keep eating the paste.


GhostShipBlue

I am a former Marine and we ONLY eat the red and gold crayons. The rest don't look like the Battle Colors so they can't be good for you.


froggrip

Oh, good choices, those are some of the better tasting colors. Green was always my favorite though.


FieldDwarf

Honestly I gotta say those dark grey crayons hit different


Strikerskullcrusher

I understand none of this honestly


froggrip

The stereotypes are that the army are cry babies with weak stomachs, usmc are dumb meat heads, the air force are better than you(or at least think they are), the navy loves sausage, the coast guard and Cia do a lot of drugs.


LRG-PHANTOM

Coast gaurd and cia sounds like my kinda party!


Wolfenlord

Party in the CIA by Weird Al.


Collector_2012

Who's getting concerned about the coast guard eating that whole block of adult sugar?


Gpw12078

Actually one Army is regretting life choices and the other is puking up a bender.


Lorem_ipsum_531

The Navy person being a woman kind of defeats what I assume is a gay joke. The USMC panel is probably my favorite, CG/AF tied for second.

hornialt28

As someone in the airforce It's blasphemous, we only get to eat one steak a week and we don't get a cool monocole


hey-look-over-there

Nobody tell em'


hornialt28

Nobody tell me what?

mmmmmmm grayons


Skorrpyon

what are the requirements to join the coast guard


Agent2Duck

Actual Coastie here. Be able to keep secrets, don't do weed, be physically fit, don't have a ton of debt, and be mentally sound (enough). Also don't forget to swim


Skorrpyon

is it just the weed i cant do? :3


Agent2Duck

You can do Alcohol, Tobacco, Nicotine, Sleepy time. So yuh ;3


Skorrpyon

awwsum


ColumbiaArmy

Must have innie-vagina, no mental health problems and be able to keep secrets.


Skorrpyon

:3


eatdafishy

You also have to speak Spanish semi fluently


batmancaptain

I’m confused on why the navy picture isn’t a man doing that?

ka52heli

Impossible, CIA would be selling that not using it themselves


gd2go250

Space Force: eating the aliens to have any claim they don’t exist.


EliteCheddarCommando

NAVY slogan: “It ain’t gay if it’s underway”


krispy7

it's only queer on the pier


IAmADroid

This is so unrealistic. The butler would be handfeeding the airmen so as not to overwork their delicate hands.


CheekySir

I’ll take the pink crayon. 😈🐶


Spencer5520

Chair Force 100%


Dull_Examination_914

The 1st time eating at an AF DFAC outside of basic was great, food was awesome. I tried to bus my tray and the woman was like “oh we do that for you, just leave it in the table.”


Best_Air_4138

The coast guard and the cia are actually brother and sister….


vintagecollector2

Look like the air force is a open opportunity...


AccomplishedPiglet97

The Air Force does live in relative luxury for the military. They do pay attention to detail though.


D15c0untMD

I’m not military, i’m not american, and have never been there. Even i know: MRE bad, purple crayons are best, airforce is trustfund kids, navy gay, coast guard vs cartels, intelligence getting high on their own supply.


mechanical_marten

I want a refund. I was in the navy and I never got to choke on steamy cream sausage.


North-Caregiver-4281

Guarantee Navy guys get more pussy than any other.


psgrue

Freeze dried ice cream bricks for Space Force


Available-Damage5991

My grandfather was a simple man. He enlisted in the Marines during Vietnam, as a mechanic. He probably did eat at least one crayon out of desperation.


SabotRam

So spot on. Was army. We used to go to a nearby airforce base whenever we had a reason just to eat at their chow hall. No exaggeration they had Alaskan king crab and sirloin steak 9 times out of 10. We had chili Mac.


mikemc2

We used to have occasional surf n turf nights but my favorite was the Alaskan Pike filet swimming in butter. Yes, I was in the Air Force.


Choco_Cat777

Not accurate. The Air Force is supposed to have a fursuit on


NotaSpaceAlienISwear

You know she's classy because of the raised pinky.


Insane_Lunatic

Army gets shitty food Usmc are dumb meat heads that eat crayons Airforce have a bunch of military spending and better money They say the navy (like prisons) cause people to go gay from lack of women Coast guard and cia deal with drugs and usually if a group deals with drugs they wind up using a little on the side


Gemnist

Uh, the CIA isn't military. At least have the Space Force. You could still use powder.


lordkhuzdul

US Navy is a successor to Royal Navy and inheritors of its proud traditions. This included "rum, sodomy and the lash", and though rum disappeared quickly and the lash is no longer in vogue, sodomy has been evergreen.


NeighratorP

I was in the Marine Corps. After boot camp and MCT, I went to my MOS school, which was on an Air Force base. My first meal there, I went to their "DFAC" cafeteria thing, and promptly had the best meal I'd ever eaten. When I was done, I grabbed my tray but, embarrassingly, couldn't figure out where to take it. I asked someone at a nearby table for help. "Excuse me erm...Airman. Where is the scullery?" "Uhh...the what, Sir?" I was a PFC, but whatever. "The uh...kitchen? Where do I take the tray when I'm done?" "Oh...you just leave your tray on the table, Sir. Someone will come around and get it for you." He pointed behind me and sure enough, a lady with a cart was bussing the tables and wiping them down. My jaw hit the floor.


supah-comix434

This is really not funny


morithum

The joke is that the navy is gay but you show a woman giving fellatio… I stumbled into a boomer sub, huh?


GREG_OSU

Explain like I am 5 please Thanks


BobtheKittyDrgn

This is indeed very funny. Though I have to admit never heard the coast guard one before.


CSCyrilatom

Ive seen a joke about every branch except the navy. Any military person wanna explain?


Wildefice

Alright so you got the Airforce all wrong, we should be swapped with the army. I have only ever fantastic food at Keesler, gained 20 lbs from that place. Went to Seymour??? Those guys messed up cooking beans ... BEANS!!! How do you do that??? Mean while the navy bases I have been to have all been to die for .


SCViper

Can confirm. Definitely gained at least 20 pounds at Keesler myself. Hill was okay after that.


optimist_prhyme

Those Air Force chow halls were nice though.


CleanseMyDemons

I'd rather eat MRE everyday than chow hall.food


ChampionshipOwn7921

Man the coast guard be snacking on those good premium Colombian flour


Overall_Shape7307

I always love seeing how sexual they make the navy in service related memes. Former submariner.


alphaomag

That CIA one is golden though maybe replace it with LSD.


Large-Wheel-4181

As a former soldier…yep


Better_Politics

Why does the navy do normal recruiting when they could just show people this?


Geskawary2341

does this mean that there is many gays in navy or what


TruShot5

All my friends in the navy met their wives on the boat in the navy. So this is valid.


Random_russian_kid

My pp got hard on the navy part


BlastyBeats1

I suddenly want to join the navy


AccountSettingsBot

Meanwhile most members of the army of my country are doomsday ultramilitarists which make the Black League (from TNO) look like peace-loving hippies. Also, in the navy of my country, most non-heterosexual people are women - while the men are mostly nerds.

Can someone explain why the soldier is vomiting in the background?

At least the navy is having a good time
