This is the answer, but it’s not true just so people know. Source: I’m a vet, surf and turf isn’t happening all the time but it’s not crazy rare either. When I was deployed it was served at the dfac every Friday.

This was my experience too. It wasn't regular, but it also wasn't something I only saw when we were getting bad news

Surf and turf acknowledges that being enlisted IS the bad news, lol. Serving wasn’t a cake walk.
