Here's two US Navy photos for blog no. 7 of December 2007. The cooks work hard to prepare enjoyable holiday meals. These meals are important moral boosters for the crew with the reality of family separation.

The food looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks -- I worked (or was at sea) for many of the 9 Thanksgivings I was on active duty. If you have to work that day, do so in the galley. Being a cook was one of the most rewqarding jobs I've ever had.
ReplyDeleteThese guys did a great job, and it was a rough day at sea to shoot those photos, let alone do kitchen work.
