you're hitting on some girl who happens to be a minor.😲
I can already see the headline in The New York Post:
"Local Recruit Harasses Minor!"
Tomorrow:
Breaking News, front page of The New York Post:
"Confessions of a Recruit: They wouldn't let me eat!"


That was you flirting? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Look, sorry, but it’s pretty obvious you have zero experience here.🤣
Chill out, kid...🙂
Later.

Anyway, I don't bother with a maid; I hit up restaurants for lunch every single day. Sometimes, if I'm feeling lazy, I just call a private chef to whip something up for us. Money is meant to be spent and enjoyed, right? Isn't that how it works?

Preach! Exactly!
That's how a real man lives!🙏🙂

Whoa, hold up, don't leave yet. Stick around for a sec.

Real talk though—once you're done with her, does she have to feed you? Because seriously, you're losing all those precious proteins and nutrients for nothing, man. Just think about it.

If I were you and she didn't even whip up a quick sandwich after, I wouldn't be messing with her anymore... honestly, I'd just tell the neighbors we're done.

Ooh, look at him trying to lecture me, auuuu... just acting like such a big shot.🙂🤣
Helem didn't even leave a single note behind.🙂

Look, let me ask you something: when you're hooking up with a girl and you finish, does she have to feed you afterward? Because don't forget—you're losing precious protein and nutrients for absolutely nothing, alright?!

Think about it. If she doesn't even whip up a sandwich for you, I wouldn't bother sleeping with her either... honestly, I'd tell the neighbors we're done for good.

So, you're actually upset that I'm seeing a girl?

Don't be like that. One day, you'll find yourself with some guy too.🙂

Seriously, can we get some real answers about the meal situation already?
I was stationed at that base about 10 years ago, so I know how things actually went down. There’s plenty of food, period. Anyone claiming there isn't enough or that they're skipping meals is just straight-up LYING. The food isn't exactly gourmet—honestly, it can be pretty "unpleasant"—but there's never a shortage. The real headache is that everything is always rushed. I think things might have changed since my time, but back then, there were maybe 2,500 of us trying to shove through the lunch line in like thirty or sixty minutes. Usually, the bottleneck happened because the kitchen staff would pull guys from different units on a rotation to help prep and serve, so most soldiers had been stuck doing kitchen duty at some point. The worst part was getting woken up at 3 or 4 in the morning to go work in the kitchen, and you wouldn't be done until basically noon. Naturally, everyone assigned to the serving line or peeling potatoes was pissed off and hated the world for the rest of the week. If the kitchen was closed for maintenance, deep cleaning, or training exercises, they'd give us a MRE instead. You'd get some spreads, deli meats, jams, and maybe one or two stews like bean and sausage. The only issue with those MREs was that if the stew was cold, it sucked, so you'd have to heat it up in hot water. Around 10 or 11 AM, they’d hand out a snack or mid-morning meal... usually donuts and chocolate milk. Honestly, if you could just eat that alongside breakfast (which was mostly spreads, hot dogs, cheese, and a breakfast burger), you wouldn't starve. Even the guys in the brig didn't go hungry; they actually got fed before anyone else. Actually, our unit used to get fed first, so the rest of the base absolutely loathed us for it. The absolute worst part was standing in formation outside the dining hall waiting in the snow, rain, or blistering sun.

Just wrap this thread up already...

I think things have changed since my time, but back then, we had about 2,500 people in the barracks who all had to clear the mess hall in a thirty to sixty-minute window. The bottleneck was usually in the kitchen prep and serving lines; they used a rotation system where guys from every unit were pulled to help out—most soldiers have done it. The catch? They’d wake you up at 3 or 4 in the morning to drag you to the kitchen, and you wouldn't be done until well after sunrise. Naturally, everyone stuck on potato-peeling duty or serving lines was pissed off and hated the world for the rest of the week. If the kitchen was down for maintenance, deep cleaning, or training exercises, we got CSO (all-day dry rations). That meant a few spreads, deli meats, jams, and maybe one or two stews like bean and sausage. The only real issue with the CIA stuff was that if the stew was cold, it was barely edible—you had to fix it by heating it in hot water. Around 10 or 11 AM, they'd serve a mid-morning snack—call it whatever you want—usually donuts and chocolate milk. If you just ate that alongside breakfast (which was typically spreads, hot dogs, cheese, and a breakfast burger), you wouldn't starve. Even the guys in the brig didn't go hungry; they actually got fed first. Actually, my unit went first, which made the rest of the base hate our guts. The worst part was standing formation outside the mess hall waiting in the snow, rain, or blistering sun.

I'm 6'0", and before I joined the service, I was 180 lbs. I'd been doing karate and soccer since I was a kid, and once I hit high school, I moved into semi-pro lifting, boxing, and wrestling. I even fought for prize money at tournaments.
Bottom line: I watched what I ate. I wasn't overweight, and I wasn't skinny.
In the military, I dropped 45 lbs in 7.5 months. Since you're all so damn smart, tell me—is it normal for a 6'0" guy to weigh 136 lbs???

Of course, I was too young back then to have the nerve to complain. Nowadays, you'd probably get tossed in jail for making a scene like that.

Look, you totally dodged my question, so I'm just gonna throw it back at you

brisknomad6 said:Hey slylynx68, I gotta ask you something real quick
your posts have got me feeling a little bit lost, I guess 😢

So, were you eating six times a week because that was all they were serving you, or was it more like you just couldn't stand the other twenty-nine meals they put out?

I was getting maybe six meals a week. You had to be precise with the others just so they’d have something to sell back to the livestock feed plants.

I dropped 20 pounds during my time in the service, only to end up with a gut from the garbage-tier food quality. Honestly—it felt worse than the weight loss.

Is it even normal to come home standing 6'0" and weighing only 136 lbs? It’s like I crawled out of a concentration camp.

And for the record—you couldn't even get decent bread. I don't eat bread much anyway, except for special occasions once a month.
But there? You couldn't grab more than two slices of cheap white bread, let alone enough to actually feel full.

Look, kid—you're just a spoiled brat. Go see a psychiatrist. 😉


So, since when does someone needing a shrink depend on whether they're being aggressive? 🤣 🤣

If you're playing it safe, I guess you don't need one. 👍

I didn't stay silent. But what could I actually do when those rural farm kids were perfectly fine with a cup of yogurt and some bread? To them, it felt just like home. So they laugh at you—meanwhile, I’m the one who lost years of training because of it.

I didn't dare do certain things I really should have. Honestly, a few times I went in there ready to start something, but ended up retreating back to the barracks instead. I eventually dealt with it—just a little too late.

I held back on a few things I really should've done. Honestly, a couple of times I went there specifically to stir the pot, but ended up just walking away to the gas station instead. Finally dealt with it, though maybe a little too late.


Oh, you definitely missed your chance—that's why you're here whining on this forum and picking on people who haven't done anything, just like every other weakling out there.😉
