Michelle Obama attacks the DFAC
More social engineering, this time in the messhall. This Reuters story starts out telling us how fat Americans can’t get in the military and somehow it’s the messhall’s fault;
Obese Americans in the military are a national security hazard and U.S. first lady Michelle Obama wants to see that change.
Obama, who has led a healthy eating and fitness program for children for two years, lent her voice on Thursday to the military’s efforts to overhaul the food it serves.
In an event at Little Rock Air Force Base, Obama announced a new Pentagon obesity and nutritional awareness campaign that will change nutrition standards across the services for the first time in 20 years.
Yeah, if they’re eating in the messhall, they got into the military, so they’re not among those 25% who are too obese to get into the military. See how that works?
Flagwaver sends us a link to The Blaze which reports that Obama, the hairless Wookie, is giving nutritional advice to airmen at the DFAC;
She encouraged healthy habits during a visit with individual airmen at their tables.
“Don’t worry, you’ll be a vegetable guy soon,” she reassured one airman.
She stressed that it’s not just about giving members of the armed services a more svelte profile: There are big national security and budget implications.
Yeah, I weighed 155 pounds when I got out of the military and ate at least once-a-day in the messhall. It wasn’t the food, it was the activity that kept me svelte. I needed the SOS I had every morning to replace the energy I’d burned off during PT.
Now, unless she plans on having Americans line up outside the DFAC for their meals, this is just political posturing. Yeah, good nutrition is important to the military, but they don’t need the first lady telling them to become vegetarians. Maybe she should knock off those cheeseburgers and chilifries and drop a few pounds off of that fanny pack she’s carrying around first.

USAF also wants to go tobacco free, heck all of AETC is. We have a smoker in the White House, what’s her stance on that?
February 10th, 2012 at 10:40 am
I saw a special not to long ago on the Hitler channel, I mean History Channel, about SEALs. The fact that they eat between 5,000 and 10,000 calories a day. I don’t see them ballooning op like Missy Obumma’s butt.
I had a soldier in my squad who gave into his girlfriend and became a vegetarian. Within three months, he lost 100 points off of his PT score and dropped muscle mass. We began having to sneak him fat-bombs from McDs and it helped him. Shortly after that, I began stocking 5 pound containers of protein and made protein shakes for my squad (it’s good to be supply) for our morning round tables during Drill.
If you cut meat out of your diet, you lost the protein necessary for muscle growth and brain health. Sure, you can get protein from vegetables, but you would need to eat them all day long. As in, literally, eighteen servings.
Anyone who has ever been to the Master Fitness Trainer course (or equivalent for other services), knows what I mean.

@2
.
I always liked the whole “my ancestors didn’t fight to get to the top of the food chain so I could just eat plants” stance
February 10th, 2012 at 10:44 am
Sweet Jeebus, I haven’t eaten in a chow hall (sorry, DFAC) 5 times in the last 10 years. Last hospital that I worked at that still had a DFAC was Pensacola and that was in 89. Walter Read/Bethesda has one I think. I can usually smell that institutional food smell a couple of floors away.
“You’ll be a vegetable man soon” WTF, over? She’s gonna tell the troops what they should eat? Have you seen chow hall broccoli? The only way you can gag it down is if it’s in a cheese sauce and with a liberal douching of Red Hot.
FFS, we got the Diversity Officer, the DAPA, the PRT Coordinator, the EEO Officer and now the Food Nazis up our grill 24/7. Ain’t life grand.
39 days and a wake up and my 36+ year career will be over. And not a moment too soon.
February 10th, 2012 at 10:51 am
Holy hell, has she looked at law enforcement lately? I think they pose a LARGER threat to our national security.
February 10th, 2012 at 11:00 am
I saw the article off of Drudge. One of the commenters lamented how troops have too much disposable income so they can buy food off base….It’s crazy being so rich to afford food, without food stamps.
Of course–they’ve totally ignored the demographics of who lives on-post anymore now that housing’s all privatized. And the whole family thing. GIs can’t possibly eat at home.
I worry that this will be a mandate and migrate overseas. Then we’ll have to stress our LOCs even more to make sure we get fresh veggies for salads. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, your son died bravely on a convoy bringing arugula to the big box FOB.
February 10th, 2012 at 11:11 am
I want to see Mrs. Obama get a 300 on the young man’s scale for the APFT.
Until then….STFU.
February 10th, 2012 at 11:15 am
What a crock of horse $hit! Back in the day I had SOS and fried eggs for breakfast, a grease burger for dinner and some kind of mystery meat with mashed taters floating in gravy for supper and I weighed 180 lbs while wearing 34/30 trousers and a 44R blouse. All of this while being an amtracer, “without us the Pride don’t ride”! Of course we PTed a minimum of three times a week, as ” riflemen first” we did a fair amount of humping and keeping that 7 ton bitch running was a fair amount of work, we didn’t do anything special.
February 10th, 2012 at 11:50 am
Shouldn’t she be worrying about the kind of garbage people are buying with food stamps?
February 10th, 2012 at 11:51 am
Un-friggen-real…..I don’t usually eat in the chow hall conus but Mrs O needs to realize that food is sometimes the only comfort down range. She has nothing better to do!
I’m leaving in a few months and I’m soooo looking forward to my 6 fried eggs smothered in cheese on top of a hill of potatoes. Ive have always lost weight deployed…eating twice as much. Yeah some guys pork up..alot of guys pork up with all the bs their wives ship em, but I look at deployment like prison….as Ice Cube once said…”Pumping iron, and eating. Ain’t nothing else to do in the mother effen pen!”
February 10th, 2012 at 11:58 am
Assuming that this is an accurate statement:
“Obese Americans in the military are a national security hazard and U.S. first lady Michelle Obama wants to see that change.”
What is it that must change? Allowing obese Americans into the military so that a national security hazard can then exist? Or is she saying that they have decided that obesity will no longer be a national security hazard, just because they say so, and that obese Americans should then become eligible to serve in the military?
February 10th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
Headhunter, she has nothing better to do. Well unless you count Martini and Wagu Beef night at the WH. Has this Heifer looked at her backside in a mirror lately? Looks like two battleships tied up next to each other.
February 10th, 2012 at 12:14 pm
Maybe she ought to walk that friggen dog they got to satisfy the stupid fawning press. Has anybody even seen that thing since they got it. Dude….if they take my cheese eggs away I’m going over to the Taliban.
February 10th, 2012 at 12:29 pm
She apparently hasn’t heard of the height and weight standards.
February 10th, 2012 at 12:30 pm
The only reason I reenlisted was for the SOS. My greatest pleasure after knocking the snow off of my sleeping bag was some Meramited hamburger and gravy over the dehydrated eggs in my canteen cup (after the troops all ate). When I lived in DC, I spent every Saturday morning at the Walter Reed DFAC eating my SOS breakfast with wounded heroes – fond memories.
February 10th, 2012 at 12:34 pm
I joined for the MRE omlete with ham.
February 10th, 2012 at 12:36 pm
Nothing says victory like SOS out of a mermite can!! SOS is not only a tradition in the chow hall (yeah, I know, zoomies, it’s a “dining facility”), but it is a staple of keeping the troops nourished! Damn commies!!
February 10th, 2012 at 12:36 pm
What the fuck is a DFAC? Department Family and Children (services)? Bring back what it is suppose to be called: THE MESS HALL!
February 10th, 2012 at 12:38 pm
Also, I think it’s very hypocritical of Mooshelle to be lecturing the troops on what they eat when it has been documented that she stuffs 1500-2000 calorie lunches in her piehole on a regular basis. Lose that fatass of yours, Mooshelle, and then you will have room to talk.
February 10th, 2012 at 12:41 pm
MRE omelet with ham? What ever happened to good old c rats ‘eggs with ham, chopped’? Ahhh SOS over a couple of fried eggs doused in pepper and Tabasco sauce sure cured many a hang over.
February 10th, 2012 at 12:50 pm
@20: Yep!
February 10th, 2012 at 12:56 pm
C-Rats? Little before my time.
damn you guys are making me hungry.
I might have a stale piece of bread and some rubbery meat, with a bottle of Tabasco to wash it down tonight….ooooo and some under cooked eggs!
I may have to get new pants tomorrow…but hell. It will be worth it!
February 10th, 2012 at 12:56 pm
She was just pissed cause they didn’t bow and scrape deeply enough to her while she ate her lobsters and waygu beef.
Seriously, Moochelle-try being on a boat on Op for 60-70 days and all you have is freeze-dried shit left. I lost 25 lbs. in one underway because the food was so fucking bad. Sometimes the food is decent, sometimes it sucks. So until you’ve tried working an average 18-hour days for a couple of months while subsisting on cat turds, baboon’s ass, pillows of death, and elephant scabs, kindly STFU.
February 10th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
Perhaps the First Lady needs to investigate obese food stamp recipients.
February 10th, 2012 at 1:17 pm
This explains the signs that mysteriously and inexplicably appeared on the soda fountain in the DFAC this week that soda will make you fat etc. I really do not see obesity as an issue in the active duty military, between PT, job, deployments etc, calories are burned off at amazing rates.
February 10th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
STOP: When I joined the military I was a thin as a rail and in great shape. I am still thin after retiring with 32 years of service and would typically beat 75% in the 1.5 mile run. Now lets talk about fat people in the military. They were fat when they joined and they are fat today. It is about choices and personal responsibilty. STOP talking about childhoods and veggies. If you are fat – take off the weight. Mrs. Obama needs to stick to more traditional first lady issues … like keeping nice nice in the White House.
February 10th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
@22 Steadfast&Loyal, yeah c rations. A disgusting meal in a box! Nothing like them! Making a ‘stove’ out of the smaller cans with your P-38, making a ‘coffee cup’ out of the larger cans with 2 pieces of wire and a stick. Being willing to sell your sister for a pound cake or fruit cocktail. Throwing a ‘chocolate nut roll’ at your buddy hoping you didn’t hit him cuz you’d give him a concussion. ‘John Wayne’ crackers and cheese spread that would plug you up for three days. That awful chocolate ‘hockey puck’ that would give the runs for three days. Having to mix the cocoa powder with the instant coffee to make it drinkable. Yeah c rats.
February 10th, 2012 at 1:43 pm
@27 You forgot using the peanut butter as a heat tab and I still miss beans with meatballs, if we could have only found a way to capture the gas.
February 10th, 2012 at 1:49 pm
@27: You forgot the orange choke roll and the wonderful Turkey Loaf!! Of course; who could forget the venerable “Beef with Spiced Sauce” aka Alpo.
February 10th, 2012 at 1:50 pm
@27 Oh the memories!
February 10th, 2012 at 2:01 pm
And who can forget the glorious day that you had pound cake and peaches at the same time?
February 10th, 2012 at 2:17 pm
@31 on those rare times I swear the sky opened and you could hear a choir of angels!
I remember at one Bn field day, one of the events was you got two or three random meals and you had a time limit to make a three course meal, using only the contents of the meals. Appetizer, entré and dessert. Col Harms and SgtMaj Meza were the judges.
February 10th, 2012 at 2:22 pm
@31: You got that right! The only thing that would be better than that combination is if you had fruit cocktail in place of the peaches. However, I don’t think they ever had that combination. It always ended up that you had the orange or chocolate choke roll with the fruit cocktail.
As was said before; you mixed the hot chocolate with the coffee and added a sugar pack in order to drink that stuff. If you weren’t a coffee drinker (me), you could use it for cleaning engine parts, if you didn’t mix it with the hot chocolate and sugar.
February 10th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
27, the runs? I wish I could have had the runs from MRE’s. Once in the field, I’d crap about every 72 hrs and it was like passing a cinder block, about the same weight too.
I remember during some down time on the range, a guy bet he could eat both MRE crackers (the old dry ones) in less than a minute (or 30 seconds, something like that) with no water. About half way into it, he started to gag and white powder shot out of his mouth. My buddy and I fell on the ground from laughing so hard. I was actually worried he was choking but I couldn’t stop laughing enough to check. I was afraid he’d choke to death and the medics would find us laughing hysterically at him.
Also how about the fun of MRE bombs? Good times…
February 10th, 2012 at 2:47 pm
We had, what we called fat kid sunday. No dessert or bullshit until Sunday. Some of our guys would buy peanutbutter cups and other crap to mix with the icecream. These guys were running 80 miles a week so no big deal. The sugar coma was worth it. But alot of people get fat on deployment. The door kickers don’t but if your on a big FOB….way to many ways to go wrong. That said, its a choice….that Chewy needs to leave alone.
February 10th, 2012 at 2:52 pm
A heat tab with a CRat and always had a hot meal. My famous line to piss off everyone-”Who wants fruit cocktail? Not that I’m going to give/trade it, just want to know who wants it!”
February 10th, 2012 at 4:03 pm
Its funny how 95% of the fat joes in my company werent the ones eating in the chow hall. And this just in damn near every base Ive been to has fast food right there at or near the PX so now all those joes who wont eat the new and “improved” chow hall food are just going to go eat at BK or Popeye’s.
Down range we got a lot of fatties but those dudes were the lazy asses that wouldnt go near any of the like 10 gyms there were on Diamondback/Marez.
February 10th, 2012 at 4:24 pm
@32–Making a meal out of the ingredients in a C-rat or MRE pouch…brilliant!
That’s one episode of “Chopped” I’d look forward to watching, with the judges’ faces all contorted and going, “What the holy flying fuck is THIS SHIT???”
February 10th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
@23 If you lost 25 pounds in 2 months that means you were overweight to begin with sparky I am sure you could stand to miss a few meals now
February 10th, 2012 at 4:40 pm
So for the Navy… 0% tolerance for BCA failure?
February 10th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
Dave, actually, started at 175, ended at 150. I’m 5’10″. Not exactly bloated, eh? I fit in 29X32 dungarees when I was done.
Please feel free to shut the fuck up and go start a shotgun now.
BTW–when’s the last time YOU ran a marathon? I do 15-20 miles a week normally, and 35-40 working up to one. PR of just a shade over 4 hours (Los Angeles), best half-marathon time of 1:46:30 (Pacific Shoreline 2005). Also have a few pics on my “I love me” wall doing the Pendleton Mud Run. Next?
I’m sure you could take a few cocks out of your mouth as well.
February 10th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
SOS…Jonn, you have brought back some great memories. Steaming, right out of the mermite into a real mess kit (remember those?), on top of toast and big hot canteen cup of STFU…no, make that mess hall coffee.
Yeah…I said MESS HALL not that gay ass DFAC shit.
Toss some salt, pepper, a liberal dose of Tabasco on top of that SOS, and you were in heaven.
Sad to say, I was out at NTC a couple of years ago…ran into the field mess that first cold morning…and to my surprise…no SOS. Asked the Mess SGT WTF was going on and was told that it’s not on the Army Master Menu anymore…too fattening.
Bunch of slack jawed faggots…
And C-Rats…good stuff…like them a whole lot more than LRRPs or MREs.
February 10th, 2012 at 4:55 pm
@41 I run my 2 mile run for the APFT in the 11:40s time range so thanks for playing
February 10th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
Spare me your mud runs I have done Nasty Nick more times than I care to count so I am not really impressed with you doing a mud run with some house wives
February 10th, 2012 at 5:00 pm
Bravo, Dave. That’s got to be a Special Olympics record for you or some shit like that. Did you get to stand on the podium too?
February 10th, 2012 at 5:04 pm
And now you’re claiming to be SF? Hey guys, we got a live one over here!
February 10th, 2012 at 5:06 pm
So following your logic there DUIDave when I went from 125 down to 105 overseas that was because I was a fat ass? Im 5’3 and the last official weigh in I was at 110 and the Army made sure to mention I was technically underweight. Actually the way it was phrased was that because I was enrolled in an NCOES and was found to be underweight they could send me back to my unit.
February 10th, 2012 at 5:23 pm
Wow NH, 25 lbs in 2 months? Sounds like getting dicked down your throat and in the ass by your boatmates is a good way to burn calories. Still, I think I’ll pass…
February 10th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
God, you’re so cute when you try to act all badass. How long did you have to scour the bowels of the Interwebz for that snappy retort, or did one of your blunt-blowing-butt-buddies help you with that between bites of the “Twinkie”?
Yeah, I know it’s not really a Twinkie, but you still love that cream filling, dontcha?
February 10th, 2012 at 5:32 pm
And for the record, I went from 162 to 145 in boot camp. Two months. Whoops. Wasn’t exactly a fatass then either.
But, being I’m pushing the high side of my fifth decade on this swirling turd ball, the fact my toes hit the floor every morning is a good thing.
And the fact that I don’t have to hide behind a proxy, don’t bake my fucking brain, and don’t pretend to be something I’m not, makes the fact my life is that much better than your sorry stoner ass all the more satisfying.
Have fun drooling in your oatmeal and calling everyone “momma” by the time you’re 50, Spliff. Really. Enjoy.
February 10th, 2012 at 5:34 pm
I don’t think you know what retort means. Stick to getting gooey loads blown in your colon, leave the above grade level vocabulary to your betters, queer.
February 10th, 2012 at 5:37 pm
Six minutes, Spliff? You’ve really got to learn to step it up, and if that’s the best you can come up with in that amount of time, I’m guessing you’ve lost more brain cells than you realize.
February 10th, 2012 at 5:47 pm
Aw, Spliff, did I make you mad??? Come on man, it’s only been 10 minutes!
Don’t let that Cat IV mind of yours stand between you and Internet glory! Reach out and grab it! You can do it!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Okay, how about just go away then? That’ll work too.
February 10th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Sorry fag, I’m not sitting at my computer hitting F5 every few seconds so I can post multi-paragraph responses to e-detractors like you are. You know, for someone who’s taken so much blunt force trauma to the rectum, one would think you’d have toughened up a little and wouldn’t be so obviously thin skinned. I eagerly await your next thesis length retort, I mean reply. Wouldn’t want to confuse you.
February 10th, 2012 at 6:01 pm
20 minutes and all you can come up with is gay “humor” even a 12-year old finds incredibly retarded?
I think I’ve hit a nerve somewhere, Spliff. Why don’t you have another bowl to dull your pain? Matter of fact, spark up that bad boy right in front of your CO and speak some of that “troof ta powah” you are so brave about!
Oh, and I had to answer a few e-mails between reading your latest missive and replying to you. So sorry it took me all of three minutes to form this reply. Guess that’s what happens when you haven’t baked all your synapses to a crisp.
I’m sorry you’re so upset about someone who dares criticize your heroine Mooshell, but if anyone’s got “cushion fo da pushin” it is most certainly her.
February 10th, 2012 at 6:44 pm
Sorry sparky, was down at the Class 6 getting some supplies for the weekend. I’m going to be drinking cocktails from now until 2330 Sunday night, and I’ll still be up for PT at 0630. No chronic till next weekend when I’ll have four full days to get toasted. Speaking of cocktails, a little bird told me that you used to put on a special performance of Oliver Twist for your old sub commanders by farting out a delightful mixture of cum,shit, and lube into a little martini glass, drinking it, and then inquiring “Please kind sir, may I have some more?”
February 10th, 2012 at 7:02 pm
Zzzzzzzzzzzz…huh? What? Oh, you. Sorry. Didn’t see your Cat IV brilliance shining through there.
And you guys get four-day weekends? Oh, this oughta be a hoot to hear. I thought all the services had 96-hour policies. Silly me.
Finally, really, Spliff, if that’s the honest-to-God best you can pull out, head back over to 4chan and see if you can get some pointers from your fellow /b/tards, because frankly it’s just not funny. But if you want to be the asshole and get in the last word, by all means, have a go at it. Fire away.
February 10th, 2012 at 8:16 pm
@46 I was in 20th group for a spell not that it is any of your business.
February 10th, 2012 at 8:28 pm
I love it when tolls come on here. for my part I NEVER at Breakfast in the 4th IBCT DFAC. Man those dudes could F**k up a wet dream. the eggs still give me nightmares.
Its all fun and games now, but I swear to you more than once I had to stop smoking a soldier pass him off to someone else and make a mad dash for the latrine.
February 10th, 2012 at 8:40 pm
What is it with the boys in NJ – are they ALL Special Forces?
February 10th, 2012 at 8:44 pm
Hey John what was the name of that guy that had his service stripes all jacked up. He was from NJ too wasn’t he?
February 10th, 2012 at 8:48 pm
Seriously, I’d ask for proof but I know we’ll never get it from the chode.
Jonn–Special or “special”? My vote is on option 2.
February 10th, 2012 at 8:54 pm
20th Group is a National Guard SF unit, my company was in Maryland it was a 3 hour drive for me to go to drill. Good try though
February 10th, 2012 at 8:58 pm
I was an 18B on a ruck team there for 2 years. No scuba or halo CIF team stories for me
February 10th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
Yeah, give a series of one line answers so you can fit the profile of a phony.
February 10th, 2012 at 9:20 pm
More like Halo. And Airsoft.
February 10th, 2012 at 9:26 pm
@65 You wouldn’t last a day out at Mackall so try the phony stuff elsewhere
February 10th, 2012 at 9:29 pm
Dave, I think he’s got the hardware that says otherwise, but hey, you keep telling yourself that, scooter.
February 10th, 2012 at 9:35 pm
Oh yeah? Then I want proof what’s your Yarborough Knife number Mr. Lilyea?
February 10th, 2012 at 9:36 pm
Nobody said he was 18-series, douchenozzle. Only you have made that claim.
February 10th, 2012 at 9:40 pm
Let me educate you sparky, Camp Mackall is where most phases of the SFQC are conducted so when you say Lilyea has the hardware to handle Mackall you are implying that he is 18 series.
February 10th, 2012 at 9:44 pm
#71 Asshat, if you can’t understand what he was implying when he said Jonn has the hardware to prove he could hang with 18-series I have a hard time believing you were ever SF, even NG.
February 10th, 2012 at 9:45 pm
I’m well aware of what Camp Mackall is, dearest.
I’m saying that Jonn in his career hasn’t got to prove shit to you; i.e., he has the hardware to back his statements up.
You, thus far, have shown a propensity for 12-year old 4chan antics.
No, I didn’t imply that he was, you INFERRED he was. IOW, your alligator mouth overloaded your hummingbird ass yet again. Another in a seemingly never-ending series of bad life choices on your part.
Give up already. It’s okay if you don’t post. Although I would miss the entertainment value you bring here with your over-the-top douchebaggery.
February 10th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
sorry guys I am not really caught up to speed on this guy lilyeas career, it must have been a real doozy from what I have seen of his contributions to the commentary of this blog
February 10th, 2012 at 9:58 pm
It is quite adorable how all you guys stick up for him though, you guys do care after all
February 10th, 2012 at 9:58 pm
DUIDave, eh? Interesting screen name.
Just which Bn and Co of the 20th SF did you say you were with?
February 10th, 2012 at 10:03 pm
B co 2/20
February 10th, 2012 at 10:29 pm
@59 – That’s because Pakistan’s finest were cooking our breakfast. They didn’t strike me as the bacon&eggs types.
Meanwhile our green-suited Cooks were busy guarding the ice cream machine.
February 10th, 2012 at 10:36 pm
Going back to the core of the issue, while the baby gruntlings thump their chests.
Those foods that are considered healthiest (from a paleo perspective) are too expensive for most of the so-called 99% to afford. What is affordable is usually injected with water, or hydrogenated oils to increase volume (and $).
Looking at the laws of supply and demand, America could triple the current supply of food by doing extremely painful things:
1. Restarting agriculture in California’s Central Valley. Currently, the one place that used to produce an 8th of the world’s food supply lies fallow because the greenies want a small smelt, that has no value either as a living or a dead thing, to live. But, it’s California and making good food too expensive IS Progressive!
2. Stop all of the corn subsidies. Most the corn that goes to making ethanol is not truly fit for human consumption, but does a damned fine job for cattle, hogs, and other edible critters. Feed and care of edible critters is incredibly expensive, so many farmers and ranchers stay out of the market because they can’t achieve enough profit to reinvest in more critters.
If FLOTUS Obama truly believes what she’s saying, she’d have her Dem allies support the growth of agri-business and end ethanol subsidies.
February 10th, 2012 at 10:41 pm
@79 let me guess you’re a skunk vomit (Gingrich) supporter?
February 10th, 2012 at 10:49 pm
@74
ROFL
And, and in case there was any doubt… I’m not laughing with you, I’m laughing at you.
February 10th, 2012 at 10:51 pm
DUIDave – how long have you been with B Co?
February 10th, 2012 at 10:52 pm
Dang, once again! Invasion of the trolls. But then, it would be kinda messy to kill them all.
February 10th, 2012 at 11:23 pm
#79, as yes, the cave?dwelling Paiute trout, or whatever the hell they call that sorry excuse for an anchovy. You and I both know they would rather ship in “fresh” vegetables from China to bolster their economy than make the dippy-hippies angry. Hell, I’d love to see Momma Obama try getting a continuous serving of fresh fruits and veggies to submariners or seamen on deployment…
As for the peter-puffers that are trolling. Unass this AO and go back to surfing your porn. Leave the posting to the big boys and girls.

@82 Not with them anymore, I was there for 2 years and change
February 10th, 2012 at 11:36 pm
DUIDave – were you with them in 2009?
February 10th, 2012 at 11:38 pm
2 years and change? What, as the janitor?
February 10th, 2012 at 11:42 pm
You haven’t lived until you’ve eaten a can of ham and mothers.
February 10th, 2012 at 11:43 pm
Yeah, Joe Farrel was my team sergeant
February 10th, 2012 at 11:46 pm
DUIDave – so, you’ll be able to tell us how many KIA your unit had that year, and their last names?
February 10th, 2012 at 11:47 pm
Flag…I’d love to see the trolls after a 70 day run. We’d usually have a quick stores load after a long underway before getting a larger fresh stores loadout during the port call/upkeep. I remember one of the forward guys taking a whole head of lettuce out of the box and just bury his face in and chew through it like an overized apple.
Bottom line, we don’t need Moshell telling us fresh fruits and vegetables are good for us. We especially don’t need some jackass who eats lobster or 2000 calorie meals at Steak N Shake every time I turn around lecturing me how I should be eating.
February 10th, 2012 at 11:49 pm
I didn’t finish the Afghan deployment.. And I am not going to post the names I do know for OPSEC reasons. Who are you exactly Hoss?
February 10th, 2012 at 11:59 pm
DUIDave – who I am is immaterial; you’re the one making the claim of being SF. And the OPSEC claim is BS – names and units of KIA are publicly announced by DoD. I already know the answer.
The question is whether or not you know the answer. A SF Company is rather small – around 100 pax, as I recall co. If you were assigned to B Co, you’d know who didn’t make it back alive.
Now, you wanna answer the question?
February 11th, 2012 at 12:12 am
Matthew Pucino
February 11th, 2012 at 12:13 am
DUIDave – so far, so good. Now who were the others?
February 11th, 2012 at 12:18 am
I don’t know everybody I was in Q for a decent portion of the deployment
February 11th, 2012 at 12:22 am
Sparky, Where did Dave claim your faggot boyfriend was 18 Series? I’m half in the bag so I may have missed it, but given your misuse of the word retort, I’m guessing your shoddy reading comp is contributing to this mis-communication. Dave said Fag BF wouldn’t last a day at Mackall and you said fag BF had the hardware to prove otherwise. What hardware were you referring to if not an SF Tab? What, a Ranger tab? Ranger’s aren’t fit to wipe SF ass. Bitch please.
Michelle Obama is OK with the Spliff-man. She’s got a big black ass, and I love women with big black asses, just like you love men with big black cocks.
February 11th, 2012 at 12:32 am
You sure are awfully fixated on the whole gay thing there, Cat IV. Care to explain why? Special “uncle” somewhere in your past? Or was that you?
Seriously, if you can’t stay on topic…
February 11th, 2012 at 12:35 am
All: this guy might or might not be legit. SSG Matthew Pucino was in fact with B/2/20 SF, and was KIA in Afghanistan in Nov 2009. However, the unit had one or more earlier KIA(s) that year, so I’m not positive. I’d have thought that he’d know who all of his brothers in arms were that didn’t come home, given the small size and tight-knit nature of most SF units. If he’d known them all, I’d give him the benefit of the doubt. For now, status is still IMO undetermined.
DUIDave: Sorry to go down this route. However, this site and the guy who runs it, Jonn Lilyea (yeah – the same guy you were snotty as hell to above) has “busted” a shitload of posers/wannabees/Stolen Valor assholes. And many of them have had the audacity and stupidity to post here defending themselves. Frankly, above you sounded quite a bit like some of them.
IF you’re legit, you have my apologies. If you’re a poser . . . well, you have to face yourself in the mirror.
February 11th, 2012 at 12:42 am
Dave…I will extend the same coutesy. If legit, my sincerest apologies. If not, you’re fucked. Frankly, I’m not convinced one way or the other, although I will say your fucking ATTITUDE basically sucks ass and isn’t what I would expect or what I have experienced from those I do know in various SF communities.
Take what you want from that.
February 11th, 2012 at 12:51 am
I don’t think you people are familiar with how transient an SF National Guard unit can be, granted during a deployment it stabilizes a bit but you have alot of tag alongs from other groups to plus up your ODA but if you’re not apart of the old boy group you pretty much have the mindset of not worrying about what happens outside your ODA
February 11th, 2012 at 12:59 am
“Spliffy”: the only reason someone who’s Ranger qualified wouldn’t be able to make it in SF would be if the Ranger was a dumb SOB. From what I’ve seen of his work, Jonn’s no dummy.
On the other hand, what I’ve seen from you on this thread doesn’t impress me. At least not favorably.
February 11th, 2012 at 1:04 am
DUIDave: Jeez. Why in the hell do you think I’m willing to give you ANY benefit of the doubt? That’s precisely why I’m willing to allow that you MIGHT be legit. If you were claiming to be from an Active Component SF unit and couldn’t name all of those in your BATTALION who didn’t come back alive, I’d be raising the BS flag on a 100-foot flagpole.
February 11th, 2012 at 1:07 am
Anon…remember, it was Jonn that Gen. Shinseki was speaking of when he said, “Who knew infantrymen could write?”
February 11th, 2012 at 1:09 am
CI, I was actually referring to the DFAC at Riley. Deployment chow. . . well it was fine, but it was like eating at country kitchen buffet. EACH. AND. EVERY. DAY. That was on the good day. The K-rats were likely to go through you. Man I remember sharting out whole beef cubes.
February 11th, 2012 at 1:11 am
NHSparky: as I said, Jonn’s no dummy. (smile)
February 11th, 2012 at 2:27 am
DUIDave, I can remember the name of every member of my National Guard battalion who didn’t come home. I was part of the funeral honors team for all seven. I can name all seven, and I was only in a National Guard Infantry Battalion. 2/162 INF of the 41st BCT(e).
I’ve met a couple of SF guys before. They are hard chargers who will unfuck any problem that a troopie could ever think of having. I had beers with them after a funeral for a soldier we lost who was part of their unit when he was active.
As for the Mess Hall debate, let the cow chew her fat burger that will only increase the gravity well in her ass. I’ll stick with my diet. Right now, I’m pulling down about 3,500 calories a day. No, I’m not attempting to get a ghetto ass of my own. I’m training up to have some fun in the Warrior Dash this summer and want to look all hot and sexy running it in a kilt and combat boots… only a kilt and combat boots!
February 11th, 2012 at 7:06 am
This is sad, I was having a ball reminiscing about c rats and chow halls and it degenerated into this. My only comment about the non-cuisine portion of this fiasco is, in my experience the person or persons who get snarky or defensive are hiding something.
One of my favorite chow hall memories was when we got sentenced to 29 Stumps, we stopped at some AF base between Pendleton and the Stumps for morning chow. We disembarked those horrid green weenie busses, formed up and started marching towards the chow hall. 99% of the airmen stopped dead in their tracks. I also recall AF chow being pretty good.
February 11th, 2012 at 8:02 am
I ate in mess halls every day, weighed around 160 and ran marathons while at Bragg. Pretty sure I didn’t need the National Scold to tell me how to eat. Why is Michelle My Bell going after the military? They are an easy, captive audience. If your in and can’t pass your physical then your out. Duh
February 11th, 2012 at 9:04 am
Heh… We had a fusebox to one minor component (control power for some small pump) located in the cooler to the chief’s mess on our ship.
We tagged that sumbitch out just about every week for “thermal imaging”. Then we’d bring in the empty NFTI case and get to work…
My workcenter ate well on deployment.
February 11th, 2012 at 10:16 am
Yeah, dimbulb mentioning the Jedburgh knife serial number kind of proves he’s a poser.
February 11th, 2012 at 10:21 am
Teddy…that’s about the only advantage to being on a bird farm is you still get COD underway.
That and you get to play mindfuck games with airedales.
February 11th, 2012 at 10:22 am
Yat Yas…March AFB? Or if you go WAY back, George AFB?
February 12th, 2012 at 12:19 am
My first experience with that stupid color code in the DFAC was last year in Iraq. The colors changed almost daily. It used to just list calories, fat, etc.
February 12th, 2012 at 5:12 am
My favorite Mess hall story was in San Diego(Dry side) We were walking up to the mess hall and the 18 wheeler parked out back had this writen on the trailor.
“FOOD FIT ONLY FOR INMATES AND SERVICE MEMBERS”
Ans that was the best mess hall that i’ve eatten in, Navy wise anyway
February 12th, 2012 at 7:47 am
@115- the aft mess decks on a Nimitz class has a dreadfully labeled “chill/thaw room” at the very head of the starboard line, right before you pick up your tray. We’d routinely see the mess cranks loading boxes of questionable meat into it, stepping over the crates of moldy strawberries. The smell of the “chill/thaw room” has taken many a sailor out of the chow line.
February 14th, 2012 at 12:24 am
“Yeah, if they’re eating in the messhall, they got into the military, so they’re not among those 25% who are too obese to get into the military. See how that works?” Yeah that was my line of thinking. Dumb Broad!
