Ummm... no. In spite of what the Army tells you, if it doesn’t have claws it is not lobster but a langusta and is not even closely related to lobster. Also doesn’t taste the same.Lobster is not cooked very well but lobster is lobster.
Covid changed that for a while.seriously?? I always thought every meal had to be eaten in that massive mess hall all together and you only had 20 mins to finish. Guess West Point may not be that bad after all
But is that not usually the case pre-Covid? It would make sense as it reinforces the strict military and team bonding atmosphere.Covid changed that for a while.
not the same, but at the end of wilderness training at Sere, they gave them all hotdogs. My son who hasn't touched a hotdog in 22 years scarfed it down.In Special Operations SERE we were dumped in the fields for the evasion phase on a Wednesday. It was REALLY cold out, getting down below 0 F at night. There was NO food. Even the cornfields were picked dry by deer and other animals. My team and I got so hungry we resorted to looking for roadkill on the side of roads. No luck, but we did find a Wendy's bag with some packages of ketchup.
On a Sunday we were captured and put in the POW camp. On Monday we were given our first meal, a handful of rice and a minnow. I wolfed mine down- it was no different from what I ate when I was assigned to the Korean Army for a couple of weeks. The SF captain next to me couldn't eat his as I guess he was a picky eater and just looking at it made him gag. I surreptitiously offered my hand and he gave his to me. In a real POW situation, I'm not so sure he would have survived.
I didn't find anything Facebook- but I did find everything (pics, menus) you mentioned on Instagram.You can start following the mess hall now on Facebook! Follow the USMA Cadet Mess Hall. Lots of pictures and menus.
Also, after Beast you can order food to be delivered from local restaurants or pick up food from Grant Hall. You will be fine and you will have a salary for any food you order, but really, the mess hall usually does ok. They had a very hard time during the summer and into the fall because of staffing shortages and COVID19 restrictions but things are significantly better now.
I had a similar conversation with a young lady about my smoking. She is now my wife and I haven’t had a cigarette for over 30 years.We sponsored a USNA mid, who, throughout his 4 years in and out of our house, was never seen to eat a vegetable or fruit other than a potato or corn chip or a glass of OJ. We don’t say anything to mids about eating choices, just offer good food and healthy snacks and treat them as adults who can choose. Fast forward, he met a wonderful young woman who pretty much said she wanted him around for the long haul, and if he wasn’t going to look after his health and make better choices, she wasn’t sure if she could deal with that. He now eats salads, vegetables, fruit in all forms, and has a hard time remembering why he was picky.
