- ARABIAN GULF (Nov. 27, 2014) Sailors and Marines aboard the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal while underway in the Arabian Gulf. The ship's leadership took time to serve their Sailors and Marines more than 2.5 tons of turkey on the mess decks during Thanksgiving dinner. Carl Vinson is deployed in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility supporting Operation Inherent Resolve, strike operations in Iraq and Syria as directed, maritime security operations, and theater security cooperation efforts in the region. (U.S. Navy video by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Samuel LeCain/Released)
Oh the memories I was on this deployment when they did this!! So many faces I recognize I'm so glad I found this video.
when i was in the army i missed home at the holidays big diners and family. now that i am out of the army i miss the mess halls on holidays where rank was set aside and everyone ate together eating as much as your belly could fit. Holidays in the military are awesome they really are special days.
Mind missing something that is not available 😕
The best Thanksgiving dinner I have ever had was at the chow hall at Fort Knox when I was going to OSUT in 1991. They absolutely loaded us up and the food was excellent and the Drill Sergeant's ate with us as well.....they even let us take a styrofoam container loaded with desserts back to the barracks.

Nice to get a good meal when your lonely and for from home.
you're* far*

@@commondirtbagz7130 :( dont be mean bro. I have coronavirus
Michael Spoto well your comment was unneeded when this was a wholesome comment. Good luck on recovering though.
Holiday meals on a ship were always special!!!!!
Being aboard ship was some of the best chow I had. Mid rats at 12 was either dinner or breakfast!
These men & women deserve good food on Thanksgiving as they defend our country...
Robert DeFrank spent Thanksgiving and Christmas on deployment. They really put out all the very best food for those holidays.
that's great to know....
Ah yes. I remember Thanksgiving at sea. We were at the end of a 9-month deployment. We had left Pearl and were on our way back to San Diego. Thanks to being able to get supplies in Pearl our cooks put together a buffet on the mess deck that would have made a great restaurant proud. The food was great and the presentation magnificent. Navy cooks are the greatest!
God bless are troops and may god watch over them..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
May God free them!
Cheers to all service men and women! Happy Thanksgiving!
Was an MS ( cook) in the Navy 80-86 I cooked a lot of birds in that time .... was away from home for Thanksgiving and Christmas for 5 of those 6 yrs.....THANKS SHIPMATES FOR YOUR SACRIFICES😣
my dad was in the Navy, he ALWAYS had the best navy stories an so much respect for our armed forces, he ALWAYS mentioned at Thanksgiving about a double fudge cake that he declared was "the best in the world" my mom tried duplicating the cake ,for many years ,she finally gave up ! LOL
God bless america....the best country
True they deserve a lot.
at the co club once the Dj said the messhall was blown up the place erupted with laughter & chers
3:38 👍👍👍 I have tried the pies (northern Afghanistan, Mike Spann base) and they are perfect!
As Snikers bur ??
Are you allowed to get 2nds, 3rds, and etc.??
Give one for most important crew the cooks
why did that first turkey we all saw was gray

I love Army American
If I remember right the army served us chilli mac
I’m an Army veteran & have nothing but respect to all the cooks & dining facility workers of our armed forces whether they’re soldiers or civilians They work hard year round to fuel our soldiers Even the cooks in my armor unit was out in the field with us either freezing or sweating their butts off when we were training
Also during the holidays like the Thanksgiving meal shown here, they really do an amazing job A lot of times soldiers will be deployed or away from home during the holidays & a nice holiday meal cam really help boost morale & keep spirits high
Thanks for all of your hard work to the cooks of the US Armed Forces & thanks for all soldiers & veterans for serving🙂👍
Hear here, Breh.
Three key personnel you really gotta respect:
1. Your Cooks - They're the ones that cook your food to perfection.
2. Your Personnelmen - They're the ones who take care of your pay.
3. Your Supply Folks - They're the ones who get your equipment and take care of them for you.
fucking hell they are eating better then most Americans inland
fucking hell, they risk their lives more than most Americans!
I spent six years in the Navy and complained about the food maybe twice. Those mess cooks work their asses off and know what they are doing.
Well like it was mentioned above, 'they risk their lives more than most Americans'. Not only that, but good food is necessary to boost the 'morale' of the crew. They work their butts off in stressful combat situations as they are trained to do so. And when they return to have a meal, having a plate of good hearty meal is certainly a pleasing thing. It is that encouraging effect it has on the soldier!
Organic Beast imao US COAST GUARD THEY ARE NOT SOILDERS
my videos they deserve it.
All of these women and men deserve the best. Thank you all for your service.
Bringing back fond memories. The US Navy took great pride in feeding well its sailors. Been there, done that. Go Navy!!
They have the second best chow in the military. The Airforce has the best, then the Navy, then the Army, last is the Marines.
If an army marches on its stomach, how much more does it mean to sailors who have literally nothing else for months on end!
Give them all they want and more! They deserve it.
@felipe meza shut up.
@felipe meza lmao
felipe meza no fuck you sack of worthless shit from some fuck turd banana jungle country
@Vicente Fox Quezada No, and they will continue to rule the waves.
People who joined the military are the retards who couldn't get into college why are we praising them
Ahoy, former USN myself. Happy Thanksgiving throughout the USN and the rest of our Armed Forces wherever you are. Gods speed on you return to your loved ones.
Always nice to see a fellow sea dog on here 🤘🏻⚓🤘🏻
Amen
@@NoPulseForRussians War Fighter here 25th Light Infantry, yes we were stationed in Hawaii, unfortunately most of our time was spent in the field. The most importamt thing I taught my soldiers was, to shoot accurate and deadly, one shot one kill.
More people choosing the vanilla flavor? Really? Well it looks like you all had a nice Thanksgiving. Thank you ALL for ALL you do! And for the powers that be, keep all of our armed forces fed well. They deserve it!
I am lying in a hospital bed about to be served a tasteless dinner, big mistake watching this, happy thanksgiving to our American cousins when the time comes. 🤤
May you recover soon or may have recovered
@@WeMake007 thanks, been home 100 days, 80% better, life is good I think.
@@kevinbaird7277 nice man
Glad you're home! God bless! Hope you keep well!
Wow, it’s just unbelievable the amount of food that must be consumed daily on such a great ship! Happy Thanksgiving from England 👍
I would like to personally thank you for your service guys and gals. I know the sacrifice you put forth may at times seem unappreciated....but trust me, it doesn't go unnoticed. I too served, and you have joined one of the largest fraternities in the world. Bravo zulu.
These sea-going warriors deserve the best of everything.....
and that includes a Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings.
Thanks for your dedicated service, sailors.
Bon appetit!
I love these kids they deserve the best bcuz they are the best bless you all
Ahhh the Golden Eagle. I was an Aviation Ordnanceman aboard her for 4 years from 1998 - 2002 under CMDR Crocker, before she was overhauled. Finest ship in the entire US Navy. The galley looks a lot different than i remember it but some things are the same. Officers serving enlisted goes back to the days of the galleons tho. This ship will always hold a special place in my heart. ⚓🔱🇺🇲🔱⚓
red shirt?
capt wren took over command after 911 before the October 2001strikes started
I got on there in 2001 with Captain McKeon and I'm sure you remember that 9/11 fiasco that was definitely an interesting Cruise to say the least I worked on the signal bridge for that cruise and I loved Captain wren and Captain mananzer
Oh man, I get chills watching this. I spent 5 long years straight on that ship. Away from family and with only the company of my fellow shipmates (I hate that term). My dear old dad, also a fellow sailor, told me when I enlisted "Son, The Navy It's the most fun you'll ever hate". He was right. Ten years later, I miss the Vinson like I miss my first car. It was , clunky, loud and old, but damn, it was a good ol' girl with a lot of love to give. What an adventure I had.
A Ham When did you serve? I was aboard Vinson from 1983 to 1986. MMR1 LCPO.
A Ham dude I know. I'm half way through my contract on the uss new york, and 90 percent of the time I hate it, but man have I seen and been places not possible without joining. Just got back from first deployment 8 days ago, hated it but at the same time I know it was other wordly.
@@navyplumberboy8274 at least you have a good attitude about it. My command had such low morale if you were having a good day they'd shit on you
As a former Navy man myself I hear you I spent 12 years as a navigator in A6 a lot of long months away from home on the USS Enterprise miss it a lot now but the food was damn good just a little info I live less than a mile from Carl Vinson Parkway the same guy the ship is named after have a good one
I did 10 years naval aviation and the comment ( the navy is the most fun you'll ever hate really makes sooooo much sense ! ) Thank you and your dad and all military vetetans for there service.
There's nothing like thanksgiving day in the military. True American spirit always hits home!!!
These guys deserved all this. While in Kaboul, Afghanistan as a part of Macedonian Armed Forces serving in 6 months mission in coalition troops I enjoyed the delicious meals in American dining facility. It was greatest time in all my military career...there was everything one can even imagine, a lot of various cooked meals, all kind of meat from pork and turkey to beef, chicken and lambs, all vegetables, salads, fruits, bevariges, icecream, sweets, nuts, cofee......good and unlimited food, everyday excercises in a very well equiped gym results in my loose an overweight, quit smooking cigarettes.... god bless America. Greetings from Macedonia !!
There was a few good meals, until Gonzo Station. There we was fed rice, cooked in JP-5 impregnated water, and Daisy Drink (reconstituted vegetable oil) .... Guess it depended where you was at! USS Coral Sea CV-43, off the coast of iran during the hostage crisis was a drag !!!
I am a Veteran who appreciate''s there selfless service to keep there troops feed with a great attitude and Devotion to those they serve with. God Bless You,
I like your accounts name.
i cooked on the Abraham Lincoln when it first got commissioned it was hard work but i had a blast doing it!
(AL) I've been on that boat, made our 180 buoy tender look like a toy.
I’m a retired Army Food Service Specialist (92 Golf), & I have watched a lot of videos on our nation’s impressive carriers, submarines of all classes, and all of the other cruisers & destroyers, I have to admit, I am jealous, because the sailors on all the ships are living a hell of a lot better that the Army Land Lubbers.
I talk shit sometimes about this country, but I'll never diss these servicemen and women.
The Reel Dill same.
except that I lost a friend because most go into it for an easy way out and to collect a check .. im not saying all some of these servicemen and woman do it for a cause not a check ..the ones in it for a check risk the lives of those there to defend our freedoms .... I would say 40% are there for the money and easy way out so to say but its not an easy way out thats the thing .. god bless them and I hope none lose their lives again ... on either side of it
Thanks,82nd Airborne.
Fuck Congress.
The Reel Dill thanks I am a rcmp and former air man in Canada
I served on the carrier Bon Homme Richard CVA-31 in the 60's, they had the best food ever, home made bread and pastries.While out to sea the galley was open for 23 hours, I'd have four or five meals a day and never gained weight. I miss the old girl, she was decommissioned and sold for scrape although part of her is in the Smithsonian or was when I visited.
I'm glad they took care of our sailors, thank you sir!
helmitpeak huh better than your momma's cooking?
Yes, in many ways, They were trained prof. chefs after all.
i hear they dont get it that good anymore
Aboard ship, yes i'm sure they do, it's a moral builder.
I remember when the carrier groups came back to base. I felt like throwing them hamburgers cause of how skinny they've gotten. They eat well on these ships but the amount of work and walking they do on the ships is amazing. Good job guys.
Bull.
Shout out to all the military cooks, food service personnel, etc. I have to say, they always tried to put out a nice spread for the holidays and I thought they did a pretty damn good job. One of my favorites was the 2nd CEB/2nd Tank Battalion chow hall aboard Camp LeJeune, N.C. 1988-1993. Semper Fi! In another life 1-161 Infantry Regiment HHC didn't do to bad either during our tour in Baghdad 2004-2005.
quality everything , they all deserve it !
Two thoughts as I watch this. 1) As a lifelong Marine/SeaBee, I realize I chooze the wrong MOS!? 2) I wonder what our counterparts non NATO are eating on deployments! Yea, sucks to be Russian, Chinese, and N. Korean!
I am Happy to see my Tax dollars..go to something Good..God Bless u all..I wish we could do More..
Nikola Gjonaj Just yours. Only you pay these men. They pay no taxes what so ever.
They eating for free just like the pigs 😂
Maurice shut up bitch!
@@mauricejones4283 rather rude...
@@mauricejones4283 you dont expect them get food meteres under the ocean do you?
So very thankful for the wonderful men and women of our military. 👍🏼
Too all military cooks and food prep personnel !!!!! Your job is just as important keeping the soldiers fed !!! Thank you for your service
0:05 I've seen the same meat being cut in at least 20 videos about aircraft carriers. Everyone steals everyone else's content. This must be where they got it.
Had some good food at sea especially around the holidays. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!
Thank you all for your service! God bless you.

Glad to see these heroes are eating better than me. They deserve it and more.
An army marches on it's stomach, as Napoleon once said. Crappy food can affect morale so bad it makes an army lose a war lol.

***** they fight for freedom and defend our home country
Welcome to the most important non-combat job in the military.
Non combat job? Maybe for now...
Dad was a cook, and they issued him an M1 Carbine with folding stock and the full auto option. I asked him, "Jeez Dad, how bad a cook were you?"
An army marches on its stomach. Absolutely one of the most important jobs. Hell, they all are important
non combatant? How many pilots are on this aircraft carrier? How many SEALs are on this carrier? How many Marines are on this carrier? The fact is you don't know so STFU with your bs.
I think Marine Chefs/Cooks are also trained for combat.
When someone serves you with a genuine smile,it makes all the difference!
Hands down the best quality Thanksgiving meal I ever consumed was the one I had in the Army while serving in Korea!
Never ate like this in the Marines during the 70’s. Good show, Navy
Lol!😂
That was nice to see I'm so glad they were taken care of for thanksgiving. Lots of smiles, happy thanksgiving!

I'm just glad I didn't have to do TAD as FSA (Food Service Assistant) aboard the George Washington ("Good Ol' G-Dub") when I did my 2 WESTPAC deployments in 2009 and 2010!
Thanksgiving and Christmas meals where top notch on the John F Kennedy during our deployments.
So far on my 12 years of service in the Navy i missed 9 Thanksgiving at home. But i was still with family

Thx for you.service~!!
Классно кормят Америка своих военных..... молодцы.

These meals would have never been possible without the cooks onboard. Respect to them.

Americans treasure the events such as Thanksgiving and Christmas very much.
I am Japanese.
In Japan, valuable traditions and culture are being lost, as the memorial day etc. are now moving on Monday and Friday instead of traditional traditional days, and it has been consecutive holidays.
اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد وعلى آل سيدنا محمد كما صليت على سيدنا إبراهيم وعلى آل سيدنا إبراهيم وبارك على سيدنا محمد وعلى آل سيدنا محمد كما باركت على سيدنا إبراهيم وعلى آل سيدنا إبراهيم في العالمين إنك حميد مجيد،.،،

ถ้าคุณตอบแทนผมด้วยอาหารที่ดีชุดใหญ่สักมือหนึ่งดีผมจะขอบคุณมาก
God bless our troops!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@2:49 ice cream serving will make your arm numb after serving for 1000 plus people facts!!!
São as pessoas mais importantes das forças armadas. Sem uma comida fresca e de qualidade, o melhor avião, o melhor navio e o melhor tanque de guerra, não saem do lugar. Os pilotos e os soldados, são alimentados por esse batalhão de heróis.
US Navy is the world's best naval service. Proud of all of you, Go, and Kick Some Ass. 😁
Great to see working peoples receiving good food!👍
I did one tour on Chucky V and never saw a carving station but the chow was prety darn good. Thanksgiving & Christmas meals were always quite tasty. I remember cottage cheese being one of the offerings. Finished out in the Army Guard and had some fine chow along the way.
“Take all you want - But eat all you take” , sign on the messdeck USS Puget Sound
Love it!,, in surgical residency long time ago till they changed it, we ate in the hospital canteen whatever for free. Some took lots of different things, had a couple of bites and they left it. Always hated it. We should have had the same motto.
Теперь покажите пожалуйста чем кормят российскую армию
В бою добут....
В российской армии людей нет,а есть личный состав,которому положено питаться исключительно для выполнения боевой задачи....ибо -" они Родину защищают,а не брюхо нажирают" ....
dude in the green shirt's lucky day, he got the whole drumstick right off the bird
To say a kind word, offer praise and respect to the men and women of our volunteer military, yes absolutely anytime!. It’s a shame that in this world when you try and offer a compliment you have to see responses from hateful, discontented, angry people.
0:49 good to see Tiger Woods is having a great time in the Navy. Guess this was before the DUI incident.
Lol..i was thinking the same thing !
Lol
52 seconds, i NEVER KNEW TIGER WOODS WAS IN THE NAVY
00:48 god damn ,,,, he is tiger woods 😂😂
Yeah i was thinking the same thing. Lol
When I was In the Air Force the food was good,we had all the soda ,milk ,whatever to drink.,I understand ship food is good and sub,sailors eat ever better.
😂👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸😁
Don't remember a carving station when I was on-board. Lol
I remember when the CV (CV70!) was the newest carrier in the fleet! My my...how time has flown!
I was stationed on her then. 84 to 88
Thank you ALL for your Service. God
Bless
I am looking for the pies!!! Already saw the Breyer's ice cream!! Oh there they are!!!
Persian gulf persian gulf.not arabian gulf.just persian gulf
Happy thanksgiving brothers and sisters! Hopefully I'll be joining you very soon since I want to join the navy myself! Anchors aweigh!
So polite. Never really see people exhibit this kind of decorum in todays society.
Well you know they are US soldiers they are well disciplined and responsible for their actions.
Sailors
The whole time I was in the Army , I never had a bad meal.
me too... and i've never been in the army.....
We're you ever at Ft.Knox?
Thank you for posting this video it really helps me show my students what Thanksgiving is like aboard a large Navy vessel. Can you post a video of the mess hall on a typical day? Also one of my students wanted to know when do the cooks eat? (future Navy cook for you!)
On smaller ships the cooks usually eat just before the rest of the crew that way if they were running the grill they could take care of the rest of us
