Yeah I don't know what the ultimate difference in what they serve is, but on (surface) ships both the officers and chiefs have separate places to eat. In urban legends content, I've heard stories about sailors desperate for fresh food getting surprise port calls after enterprising seamen stole all the ice cream from the chief's mess.

Camp Baharia was Al Anbar's Disney Land. The lake was full of dead political opponents of the Baath party/Saddam's sons. Juba the Super Sniper lived in one house in every AO that for nonsensical reasons nobody would ever green light for mayhem. HUMINT teams are the only ones who ever know why anyone is doing anything, and at the same time they are loving clueless and chasing their own farts Every post everywhere is haunted by dead children. Marines used (bullshit like video game joysticks mounted on dashboards) to confound remote detonated IEDs just as effectively as the magic sperm-murdering magic-sticks-on-gun-trucks did. Probably true because I question the effectiveness of the latter.

Wrong Theory posted:Human torpedoes got me thinking. Is it true 10 digit grid coordinates are only used for in-theatre burials? Like you can't bring the body back so you have to bury them for now and come back later. Wasn't there a goon who was recovering bodies in Vietnam and rolled his ankle or something? Was he using the 10 digit grid coords or were locals just pointing them out? That was a crazy story. I spent a decade of my career doing the MIA recovery thing. I'm not on the investigation side of the house, I'm on the recovery side. I know it's a whole process to even send a recovery team out. We have historians who research the battles, make sure there was a crash/battle/running retreat or whatever the case is actually happened in that location and then we'll send out an investigation team made up of military intel NCOs and civilians. They'll conduct interviews with potential witnesses, historians will do whatever they do to look up local newspaper articles and etc, and then the anthropologist on the team will go out to the site to do whatever scientist thing they do to verify that the site is indeed where the crash/burial happened. Then it goes up the chain before it gets approved as a recovery site. By the time a recovery team goes out there, we have the 10 digital grid and all, because of the investigation team verifying that we're in the right spot.

And does the job require a TS/SCI still?
