<p>Mikulski probes Navy board about meal allotment, terminology in sexual misconduct reports</p>

<p>What idiots. Both the Senator and the reporter. Doesn’t either know that the Congressional mandated BAS for officers is $202.76 per month and $294.43 for enlisted. Officers are expected to subsidize their BAS. Enlisted are not.</p>
<p>The wonderful mess bill. I am so happy I was never the mess treasurer. But, I guess her basic question is whether or not there is enough funding for the midshipmen food service program. I do not think that the same type of funds are used to pay for the cooks and food service personnel that are used to pay for the food. Are they the same type of funds? So, this might mean that increasing the budget for cooks might not provide more funds for food. Is this a chicken and egg situation?</p>
<p>This was written by a reporter??? I didn’t know anyone was assaulting the food service personel or that congress was involved. Things are really getting out of hand.</p>
<p>WHAT IDIOTS is an understatement.</p>

<p>You may be right. The statement itself could be the misquotations of the reporter. The remainder of the article gives a small bit of credence to your position. However, Bradley would have done better.</p>
<p>However, there is still this absurdity about sexual assault reporting:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>She is placing the onus for standardizing the reporting of all four services on USNA. I still contend that she was just grandstanding.</p>
<p>Maybe for the new board members?</p>

<p>Navy spends less on food for mids than for sailors</p>

<p>if you ask me (and i eat 15 meals a week in king hall, and my sponsor is the assistant food services officer) king hall needs to be totally redone and the work completely contracted out. this is also what my sponsor says. they are overwhelmed, understaffed, and the whole place is a total fiasco. plus, the food is abysmal. the only things i eat out of that place are cereal, fruit and pb & j.</p>
<p>Ah the food fights continue … stay tuned. This one will not be put to bed lightly now that the powers have been given a bone to gnaw on.</p>
<p>they weren’t given a bone- heck, they were served the entire carcass!</p>
<p>Don’t you know? It’s all in the imagination of over-zealous moms, mids, and myopic misfits!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What an <em>#!</em>$# insult! The food has been substandard and grossly lacking in nutrition for years but they point the finger at overzealous moms and ‘whining mids’ instead of accepting responsibility for the problem. What ever happened to “No Excuses”?</p>
<p>

<p>secondary, optional and conditional.</p>
<p>No offense, but it’s stuff like this that makes me happy my son chose WP over USNA…I know they will fix this soon, but at least it’s one less thing for a “loving mom” like me to worry about!</p>
<p>The food service at Navy may be broken, but at least the Navy isn’t broken.</p>
