“Breakfast, army, one each” consisted of 2-3 slices of paper thin bacon, either raw or burnt, your only options, scrambled ‘eggs’ in various shades of yellow, green, or grey, that had been boiled in a bag and broken up so if you were lucky you got the corner part that looked exactly like the corner of the bag and may have been crunchy, untoasted white bread, some form of starch, usually reconstituted hash browns or boxed grits, sometimes oatmeal that could double as pothole filler, and some diluted coffee concentrate that may have been consumable. And hot sauce and pepper. In a strange way, it was comforting in its consistency. I deployed and got to eat in a Navy Galley and concluded I may have joined the wrong service.
