I'm not sure if it's accurate but he seems to have once been a Navy cook of
the old time (Made First Class?). Predates the better cooking we do in
those same kitchens now and has a thing about freezing foods.

On a ship at sea, you do not have a choice. You learn to work with it and
they put of out some seriously *good* stuff, better today than when I came
in 25 years ago, from the same 'grub'.

BTW, Navy feeds uys al on 275$ a month which means a good steak and/or a
lobster a week at minimum. Thats the same for all enlisted (includes CPOs).
