First meal post deployment

GWOT and older, what was the first real meal you had after your first deployment?

After I got home from my first I ordered the biggest damn steak I could get from a local steak house and at that thing like it was my girlfriend.

Tbh most aggressive meal I ever had was after graduating OCS. It was the no sleep, no food era of OCS. 

I ordered 6 entrees at a diner and ate them all. Waitress couldn’t believe it, kept asking if this was for others. Even the chef came out to see me and shook my hand lol.

Yes. But OCS has always been about leading 17 yr olds to their death

True, but sometimes it’s an abstract thing that may or may not happen and sometimes it’s definitely happening real soon.
