I know Citadel does not, does anyone or is it pretty much all speed / chow line these days
Rats eat at attention for all meals, Cadre sit at the head of the tables for BRC/SRC. For lunch Rats eat on their own on most days, but are required to eat at attention still. Days with midday Rat training usually includes a Rat march down and lunch with cadre. When I was a Rat, RDC would sit at the Rat tables when they went to eat, don’t know if that’s a dykeline tradition or if it’s been discontinued. By “family style,” I thought this just referred to having food in serving dishes brought to tables and passed around. This doesn’t happen.
Yeah that or they stopped it because it caused a lot of us to drop to 2 meals/day [emoji23].Must have been a dykeline tradition because we never ate with RDC, not even during Breakout.

According to my two kids who've been relatively recent cadets at A&M, it is cafeteria style.Texas A&M did back when I attended in the mid-80's. Over 4,000 in the Corps and all of us ate morning and evening meal at the same time in Duncan Dining Hall...it was mayhem. A lot of screaming and yelling. White jacketed waiters would bring platters of food to the table. I would doubt that it's the same these days. My DS will find out this April when he "spends a night with the Corps".
I would have surmised this had changed. The family style meals only added to the terror that was your "fish" year; Simply another opportunity to be harassed in this "family style" setting. Every once in a while, we be given the "privilege" to CHOW DOWN. This would be about a 30-second time window where we could shove anything we could into our mouths for sustenance. Even with this opportunity, I went from about 160 lbs. to 150 lbs. by Thanksgiving break of my "Fish" year.
