Three tours on the deep fryer anon. I can still smell the oil in the air when trying to sleep, lol like that ever happens. My wife doesn't understand why I have 14 spatulas but it's good to meet another vet. I still have the scars no civvie will understand the hell we went through. what was your specialty?
>first day at deep fryer

>second month at deep fryer
>my fingers are cold, I'll dip them in the oil for a bit to warm them up
Brother, it happens. By my second tour, I could watch the cheese melt and feel nothing. People don't understand what it actually means to uphold Democracy.
>what was your specialty?

WE'RE IN THE SHIT NOW, GOYS
I knew a chef who did a tour in a ski resort. Worked 80 hour weeks, still managed to lose money by drinking so much. I guess a civilian like me can't understand what it's like...
I was only 19 when I become a grill-cook. Recruiters signed me up and didn't give a damn about me once I was placed on the Line. I'm 35 now and I survived. The smell of hot grease frying a tomato in the morning, the crackle of the bacon and the eggs screaming was my life. My children have no idea what I went thru. I hope your doing well, I know how hard it is
>No Pickles and Onions
can I have a ummm, what's the special? Do you do peanuts? cause i'm allergic
everytime we get an order with a nut allergy I make sure to dip my hands in the nut bin
Frick, that night, they were everywhere, fricking deductions from the menu, substitutions, mispronunciations all over the fricking place, we were getting hit from all sides (with orders)
Frick my C.O even ordered me to do a steak well done and then I knew this place had broken him as well, didn’t make any goddam sense but I did it anyway, after a while it didn’t even phase me, the sight of so much blood didn’t even make me question my reality, next thing I know I’m choking someone out in the supermarket because he bumped his cart into mine, he saying some shit about how he was a woman and all I saw was the beard and the Adams Apple, made me hard, I miss my wife
Four tours. Four long tours on garnish. In the heat of the kitchen, it's a culinary battlefield. The clang of pans becomes gunfire, the sizzle of hot oil, a constant reminder of the flames that threaten to consume us. Orders fly like incoming mortar shells, and the pressure is relentless. Every plate is a mission, and every mistake feels like a casualty. The tension hangs thick in the air, like the smoke of a war zone. In this chaotic culinary warfare, we fight not for territory, but for the perfection plated on the front lines of the pass. It's a relentless struggle, and in this kitchen, we bear the scars of every burnt dish and every lost battle. A civvie would never understand. Such is the life of a chef. I’m the fricking chef.
ok, I will now watch the bear
All this thread is doing is making me realise how overdramatic war veterans make everything sound
What's the closest you've been to death? Choking on wiener doesn't count
see I told you. war c**ts start talking like low tier anime characters
And you comparing people who have been in a real life war (not the chef kind) to anime just shows how sheltered you are
Have you ever had to make fresh hummas dip at 3am for a platter ordered by a vip staying at the Hilton Hotel in Vegas? I didn't think so. Stay in your lane civvie, or get burnt
YOU THINK THIS SHIT IS A FRICKING JOKE, YOU LITTLE CIVVIE TWAT?! YOU EVER BEEN IN THE LINE OF FIRE, THOUSAND FRICKING ORDERS FLYING IN THE FRICKING AIR, SMOKE FROM THE PAN CHOCKING YOUR FRICKING LUNGS AND STINGING YOUR EYES TILL THEIR FRICKING RED AND WATERING?! GET BACK TO ME WHEN YOU DO A FRICKING TOUR AT BURGER KING, LET ALONE A MICHELIN STAR RESTAURANT
They have to present a cope for being zogbots, and not having won a war in almost 30 years
There were 30 million Big Macs served in Afghanistan last year. You think we didn't win? Ha, keep dreaming kid
recently I was thinking about the fact that modern soldiers are so traumatized and wondering why this is the case when throughout history men have engaged in battles of various kinds, fighting and killing other people, and been totally fine. From knights to gladiators to vikings to soldiers and whoever else, you never see historical accounts of them being a bunch of whiny crybabies about it until the modern day. seems like industrial society has just made us soft as hell.
WWI happened. And I'm not saying it was because WWI revealed the horrors of war. It's because the government promised the soldiers massive bonuses in the future and when the Great Depression hit and they weren't paid all the veterans started acting like dramaqueens for pity points and its been like that ever since.
except they weren't fine and they were shit parents. they raised boomers. and boomers were shit parents. and now here we are, posting on Cinemaphile. That said, GET OUT OF MY FRICKING THREAD YOU DIRTY CIVILIAN
Warfare changed around WW1 to be even more traumatizing for the usual soldier, but it is also very likely that cases of "shell-shock", PTSD, and other mental issues were present in earlier times but less recorded or known about. Industrial Society didn't make us softer it made war involve more gigantic explosions and mass death and also allowed us to actually record what the soldier's lives were like.
Now get the FRICK out of my kitchen civvie.
Did a tour in a indian ran mexican restaurant, I can still smell that distinct sweaty indian smell when I lay in bed at night, I'm never going back.
this goes out to all my Brothers, alive and dead
Old chef I worked with couple years ago took his own life 2 weeks ago, just another statistic now, they don't tell you about all that before you join up
I still shave with my deboning knife. Some habits settle hard. I'm sorry to hear about your loss anon
I got soup salads and breadsticks at olive garden.
>breadsticks
you have no idea
My steak is medium rare, I asked for rare medium.

Deep in the curry, I don't even know where my ladle is. The dish has to go out, so I use my hands to scoop up hot rice and then the Chicken Marsala straight from the pot. I served 12 god-damn dishes with my bear hands before blacking out
Some days, I want the whole bun to burn. To hell with it, civvies can't understand. Burn the bun and the burger as well. Let the fume hoods decide who's right or wrong.
I'll take a Double Triple Bossy Deluxe on a raft, 4x4 animal style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease; make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.
