Here's a military SOS story for ya...
I was USAF '81-'07. While deploying to Bosnia we had to stay at Rhein Main for 3 days to draw weapons, training etc. Being married, having not ate in a military chow hall for years, I was exited to have the breakfast experience of my military youth.
I got in line and ordered eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuit and gravy, the Army NCO behind the counter gruffly said "you can only have one meat". OK I remember the drill, go sit down, get back in line and get the other meat.
Me - "Ok I'll just have sausage...no bacon"
NCO - "You can only have one meat"
Me - "I know please put the bacon back I will take the sausage only"
NCO "You can only have one meat"
Me - " I only want one meat...sausage...what is the other meat"
NCO - "Gravy is meat"
Me ":h"
Only in the Army. Trust me there was no meat in that gravy.
At least the chow hall in Bosnia (contractor was off the chain good!
Still miss the chow hall experience and enjoy it whenever I can, such as retiree appreciation days.
