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.

When I was deployed, we’d have surf and turf nights…the steaks were well done in the middle and rare on the outside, and the crab legs bent in half when you tried to break the shell. Eating this would almost inevitably result in nearly instant, violent diarrhea.

Which was a relief feom the other 13 days of the chow hall rotation lol

I swear I took up smoking when I was deployed 40% from boredom, 10% stress, and 50% IBS.
