You'll gladly eat what you are given, and like it!!!!

Military cooks have gotten a bad rap over the years, most of the cooks you'll see today enjoy cooking and enlisted to gain experience, over-all the chow is fine, and often better than what you get at home (depending on Mom's cooking skills)

ditto, just make sure you keep your eye on the food ... its not bad at all. Alot of people were complaining but I was just trying to fill my empty stomach and gain some energy.

I'm not really worried about the taste. I was mostly just wondering what the main thing I should eat is since, like you all said, I only have 3 seconds to eat it.

All you need to do is get it in. Eat as fast as you can that way it is in your system and you get the nutrients you need.
