What was the "surprise".....no tuna in it??   

[hellfire40]

i have heard some stories that the food has no taste and that you should save the tabasco sauce. is this true?

You're thinking of MRE's.

Breakfast pizza: Soggy dough patty with nasty cheese topped with sausage looking stuff....

And don't feed cadets milk at encampment EVER!! Unless you want very sick cadets all week..

We've had milk at every encampment I've been to (25+), and have never had any problems with anyone getting sick.

^ What happens is that should a person drink a large amount of milk and then do strenuous activity in a hot environment the milk will become angry and cause your stomach to ache. 

I think it may be a "myth", but have heard and seen milk being off limits to military members some places.  I am no Doctor, so I really do not know the true reasons behind it.  Just my assumptions.

Eat or drink excessive amounts of anything before that type of activity and the results would probably be the same.

I didn't really have bad food at my encampment.  Whenever we went to McChord AFB, we always at the diner. ().   I think the worst meal we had was grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.  Yuck!

Yeah, just make it known on your application.

[Raja1020]

Thanks I'll make sure it's on there.

Pork is an easy one to handle.
We've had a cadet who could not eat wheat or wheat products, that one kept the Mess Officer busy. But it was handled.

Only on a Navy installation. Army food sucks. Never had AF food.

[HGjunkie]

You killed it.
AF food is pretty good, they let us have as much as we want and we got chips, cake, and milk.

^^^^
The encampment I went to was on an Army base and had catering. 

[HGjunkie]

Lucky.

At my encampment the last meal we had was a BBQ but they left the food in to long and every thing was black and almost inedible. The corn had the flavor of charcoal and looked it.
