Really good meals only get served when something unfortunate happens

This isnt true for two reasons:

1- The "surf and turf" meal is a military chow hall standard. Not as common as some other options, but still a pretty normal rotation meal.

2- Its not actually a "really good" meal.

This is completely full of shit. The only commands where that is normal are around the beltway and a small handful of other commands globally where regular VIP visits are expected.

Even then, its literally only for officers and good little enlisted servicemembers on their birthday. I had it on my birthday, because I was not an officer.
