Is Navy Boot Camp Food That Good?

[AJChenMPH]

I HAD SPENT several weeks in Navy basic training as a female recruit and I had developed a hearty appetite. When I noticed my uniforms beginning to fit snugly, I announced to everyone that it was fruit juice and salad for me from then on. My resolve lasted until mess the next evening. As I was about to sink my fork into a plateful of breaded pork chops and mashed potatoes, a recruit sitting next to me grabbed my hand. "The CO told us he wanted us 'ship-shape,'" she said, "not 'ship-shaped.'"

Ship shape, if I'm not wrong,means to be in good condition. Ship shaped means to be fat.
