What lunch looks like for  

It's how they learn. Plebs

She didn't say the Pleebs do all the work. She said the pleebs are in charge of making sure the etiquette actually happens. Basically she's saying that the "waitstaff" will set the tables according to army etiquette, but when it comes to the rest of the mealtime etiquette its up to the pleebs to "do the right thing" and follow it while nobody is standing over them enforcing it.

I thought she said employee what the hell is a pleb?

Notice all the plebs were BLACK no joke Ma bad guys I just figured out how to edit this, I was being sarcastic 🙃 😅 but racism does exist, there a very good people from all places as well as bad, and the neutral, Trump 2025 or John Cena, Katt Williams, Martha Stewart, Dave Chapelle, these are half serious jokes I'd like to see how they'd do especially after the recent president

@@user-ic5wm3qm6p use your eyeballs dude there’s clearly white assholes there too. In the military, everyone’s a loser until proven different.

“We got another company behind us”

This is four years

​@@RatherCrunchyMuffin Mhm

basic was not difficult at all

​@@elijahsloan_its not, for people who are respectable and have common sense. A lot of people dont have that coming into the military. But for sure it should be longer, and more difficult.

Great times

Air Force there were 4 rows of probably ten tables you filled each row, when the table beside you in the next row sat down you were standing up

"WHEN THE GUIDE IS DONE!!! YOU ARE DONE!!!"

​@@glasswhisperer same at rtc great lakes. You only had about 5-10 minutes in the mess hall total, depending on the scheduling.

Usually like 2-4 minutes to actually eat. I remember getting the food that took the least amount of chewing and could be eaten with a spoon.

Fr like they couldn't even roll it with a napkin 🤣🤣

You have to consider the source

Touching eating surface of each piece as they set it down..

Kids are still learning…at 17 you really had etiquette down perfectly at all times especially when required to move FAST to set 100’s of table places in very little time! Show more grace to others in life.

​@@lijohnyoutube101 u cant be in west point at 17 dawg

​@@Cris5631wtf are you talking about

20 minutes more that what i got in Army basic. Not including getting your 2 cups of water.

And that reminds me of everytime I go to your momma youse

Most schools get about an hour for lunch

right?! lol 30 minutes for lunch break is a fkng joke!

​@@YoMama9021what??!! Damn.. not here where I went to school in midwest

It's like those officers live in the lap of privilege or something.🤣

Officers: You have 25 minutes to get to you table have your food brought to your table and eat. Enlisted: You will all file through the line like cattle while your DI's will yell at you for getting bread and you will shove as much food in your face as possible in 6 minutes before we have you get up, dump your tray, and then sprint around until the first person throws up.

There's tremendous resentment between W. Point officers and ROTC officers...

Adhering to military conduct is not impossible for civilians. Most are too emotionally immature to handle the stress. Weeds the losers out.

@@thisismagacountry1318 wrong comment?

Only the cheap ones crumble.

​@ajspice yeah, the ones in 29 stumps were off brand, Lejeune served some ok ones, they were just a bit old and crunchy. But Cherry Point... dear lord, perfect fresh Crayola. Each color was a perfect blend of textures and flavor. Damn wingers always got thr nice stuff

i don't get it

@uuuultra the running joke is that Marines lick windows and eat crayons

not talking about the same etiquette

Neatness is different from etiquette

Etiquette as in protocol or a particular setting. Nevertheless, it was funny.

Exactly 😂try to act like their all professional throwing forks on the plate while the chef gets your dog food ready 😂😂people who join the army are very weak individuals

😂

Enlisted boot camp, you get 5 min. and you have to drink two glasses of room temperature water first before you touch your food...25 would seem like an eternity.

​@@BuccWyldepreach

@@BuccWyldewhat year did you go through bct? Back in 2017 you were given 10 minutes from the moment the last person got to the table and everyone sat down simultaneously and got up as the last person finished or DS made everyone finish.

@@BuccWyldePreach on brother! I was in the Navy and we got 15 minutes to eat from the time the last recruit in your division sat down and we weren’t allowed to talk. 25 minutes is plenty of time for socialization.

Why wouldn't they be? They worked for that position.

​@kristinhelverson7371 West Point cadets are recommended by members of Congress. Unless your family is well-connected, you're not getting in. I doubt the kid in the urban will get into west point

@@hmoobmikah Can confirm; I know 5 people who went to West Point and 3 of them had connections, 2 got in because of sibling legacy. Admissions are even more scuffed than Ivy admissions.

Gotta cousin in West Point not exactly sure how he got in but ik he worked his ass off

@@hmoobmikahmy dad, the guy from backwoods South Carolina, got into West Point. You don’t have to be super connected to get that recommendation from your congressperson.

This is new. And it is West Point. They are the aristocracy. At OCS, we had to march in. Give the command to sit. Don't talk. Eat the meal as a square, basically at attention. Then see the TAC officer to be quizzed on tactical knowledge to see if you would be in the pit, doing exercises until you threw up the meal you just ate. OCS had more hazing than boot camp, because they wanted you to quit. And I went to both Ft. Benning and Parris Island for boot camps. Not all commissioning programs are the same.

Thank you...25 minutes wtf

Officers are more intelligent than enlisted. Enlisted = failed high school

This is not medieval Europe, they all earned their positions. You're welcome to come in if you're qualified.

@@MrDosonhai Doesn’t mean you have to act like you’re better than everyone else. Marine Corps officers don’t act like that.

They find a way

25 minutes doesn't equate to gulping down a meal. A veteran explained that one is only given twenty minutes to prepare and eat their ration so there is usually little conversation taking place.

I eat in less than 5 tbh;

Head down and keep scoffing! 😋

You talk fast.... and eat faster. The shortest amount of time I had for a military meal was breakfast during basic. I got my food from the chow-line. Sat down and about 1 minute into eating, "Alright lets goooooooo! Swallow what you got and get up and gooooooo! Move it!" I was eating all the way to the tray drop off. The key is the put it all between two pieces of bread and stuff it in your mouth and chew while you are marching to the bus.

Nah fr 25 minutes to eat is heavenly 😂

Right!? They have this "ideal" that is just not grounded in reality.

lol lunch mandatory

For real. This is why officers suck

25 mins. we got 3 if you were lucky. Still trying to brake myself from eating fast 13 years later

that's cute

Yep "service" for the billionaires and mass murder of civilians!!! That's the U.S. Military

No its not

I thought she said the plebs make sure the ettiquite happens.

"You're all going to be officers, so you can expect all these condiments and spices, nice plates and meals, even if you're in the middle of the Sahara"

If you have a degree from any college/university and speak that sentence, your degree should be revoked. These are the people leading our military...

Obviously they were taught a certain set of procedures that West Point refers to as "Etiquette". It's likely that every single one of them learned this on Day 1 and that specific set of rules and procedures is what she's referring to. Every group, ESPECIALLY military groups, have their own language that refers to specific things being done in specific ways.

Future *officer* hands, i.e. cleaner than the feet of G-d himself!

I was looking for this comment. I HATE when people touch the utensils on the part going into your mouth. Same goes for nasty waitress and bartender fingers all over the rim of the glass you're expected to drink from

​@@Funexpectedalso when a waitress lets the tea pitcher touch everyone's glass when they refill your glass.😮

Yes. If you are a germaphobe you probably should avoid the armed forces.

Good for the immune system 👍

I get what you are saying, but this 3-10 min lunches for 4 years would be ridiculous.

Cool chest thumping. How long was basic again?

@RatherCrunchyMuffin if you're about to try and convince me that any aspect of OCS is more difficult than enlisted training, either basic or AIT, save your breath. There's a reason enlisted guys don't respect officers, and that will never change.

We’re talking about 3-10 min for 4 years, and at one of the most prestigious colleges in the country. These folks turned down Harvard, MIT and Princeton to come here. They can also leave the university and give up on these restrictions any time that they want.

@@BonsaiRaygun21if it’s so easy why didn’t you do it?

they're the ones wearing the rainbow flags

So I was in young marines as a kid. It was essentially super diet military school for under 18, led by actual current and former marines. There was an air force version that we'd see only during parades, but there was sort of a rivalry between us. One parade, it was STORMING. It rained the whole time. As we were marching before it started, just warming up, the air force kids were standing under a tree in formation holding a huge tarp over their head and laughing at us getting all wet. I'm not sure what they thought would happen during the parade, that they'd march with a tarp? IDK. But they ended up having to march right behind some horses and it felt just poetic justice.

These are West Point cadets still in the academies. Once they are officially an officer, they aren’t as luxurious unless they become some high-ranking one down the road. Officers basically just have slightly better housing and a few more privileges!

That’s the point, that’s the whole idea.

@@yourfriend8052 It shouldnt be, officers should get the same training as enlisted with leadership elements. Thats how they do it at Sandhurst and there is more pressure on officers then there is on enlisted. I think pampering like this is the reason why a small portion of US officers may come off as snobby? If that's the right word

​@@jarredpickle4916this is pampering? Seems like summer camp. Perhaps the chillun learn how to use knife and fork.

Enlisted dfacs have higher quality food than West Point according to literally every west pointer who is prior servics

navy education 🥉

they volunteer for it

Thanks for clearly out that pass statement.

Then they're not being efficient

​@@oi-nf9uz Easy is not efficient.

@@iagreewithyou34784400 cadets, if every person in charge for every table stops n makes sure every plate looks perfect it would cause serious traffic issues especially the ppl handling the hot foods and they wont make the 6 min mark that they have to get the food to the table. its seems very logical that a place like west pointe does this for ease of prep and efficiency and u have 4400 ppl there why not use extra hands if u got em

@@iagreewithyou3478it’s absolutely more efficient. damn people in youtube comments are so stupid and they genuinely think they’re so smart. it’s annoying.

USMC vet here, they're trained to get their way no matter what. "Pointers" or otherwise. During my time "in", only met a few who had their feet firmly on deck . I worked for a USMC LtCol who later became a LtGen. A true professional always. He was a USNA grad. This happenned thirty years ago, I still remember him. Lastly, he would not allow you to "shine his boots".

Who cares. The time of war is gone. None of these cadets will do what the rest of us did, Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, you name it. It's a peacetime army.

Try to see dinner at the Philippine Military Academy, it's hell! Unlike these "privileged" cadets.

@@jorgeenchilada peacetime army? Not while the US builds bases in Syria.

Welcome to West Point, 😂.

Marine vet over here. 👋 The "fine" part always got me too. Lol

This is not boot camp. You can’t compare two completely different things.

cry baby

Could not agree with you more but I will say this the walk to the doors is brutal in the middle of January the wind coming off the Hudson River will freeze to the bone before you make it to the door

@@ikep.5325 OMG! I remember it being so cold in the classrooms we were debating in we would wear our coats and 🧤!! Absolutely freezing 🥶

Handling by the mouth end.

what the problem is?

At the Naval Academy the table is already set. Plebes do pass food around, and answer questions from upperclass.

just like real life

you pay their salary

Yep, she’s definitely Officer material. 😂

Lots of mingling 😅

It's a big reason they have so much trouble meeting enlisted goals. They target desperate neighborhoods, usually minorities, with no way out (because of the lack of education funding that goes to the military). If you know anything about history this is how class systems are formed. People can look online now and see behind the curtain and its clearly pissing off the military. I actually decided not to enlist because of the horrible toxic leadership that many people online have spoken out about.

When I trained for a month in Australia, I actually had a batboy. More or less a personal valet. I was only a 1st Lieutenant 😅

Cadets go thru boot camp as well, but it’s just the first 12 weeks. This is from the school year where things are a bit different.

@@toscadonna um trying to see your point

You remember the cold toast and half cooked eggs? Gobble down everything mixed together so you can finish before your time is up. Lol

Don’t need people who will never see a battlefield being battle-ready.

Of course there’s a difference. At the end of BCT, you should be able to be a basically trained soldier capable of deploying if need be. You know how to wear the uniform, operate and clean your weapon, wear a gas mask, and follow orders. All of that has to happen in 3 months. This is not BCT. They are trying to make officers over the course of 4 years. Thus the process is much more drawn out. They go through their own version of basic, but it’s 7 weeks and it’s easier because the point is to get them prepared to be military college students for the next 4 years, not to be combat ready. That part happens later after they graduate. The academies are difficult to go to, but it’s a different kind of difficult.

Right.......

Up until some of them become cops later.

​@@vaughn28ozno become politicain😂

My brother in basic you get less than half that time. Fifteen minutes for a whole company

During my basic we had 5 minutes

Why? Is 25 minutes bad? I thought you’re supposed to be fast and smooth.

the amount of people licking the boot of a mind control corporation. L O L

​@PSILOCYBINISTHEWAY how long should they have?

"We make sure all the table is set..." Ugh

That dining hall kind of reminds me of Hogwarts hall. Lol

The sophomores don't get to eat.

Right?!😂😂😂

Not until she reaches the rank of colonel ...

You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that servoce line -- you need me on that service line. We use words like "sautee," "roast," "grill," and "fry" " We use these words as the backbone of a life spent doing something. You use them as a punch line.

its such a fancy ass word for having to sit in a chair and use a fork and knife correctly... and having people sit around and judge how tf you eat😂. Take a whole dang hour to finish 1 freaking plate😂 I can go on forever with how crazy this is😂

Yep

Theyve been calling them that for a looong time.

​@donlarocque5157 I can't speak for America, but calling someone a pleb is pretty disrespectful. An officer isn't royalty. Whoever came up that jargon should've been made to clean latrines.

@@carterjones8126 I’m English, maybe the phrase “pleb” strikes a bit harder! If I heard any of my offspring call another person a “pleb” they would be hearing bells 💥

They aren’t plebs, they are plebes. Everyone who has ever graduated from West Point was once a plebe. Each year has a nickname attached to it. Freshmen are called plebes, sophomores are Yuks, Juniors are cows, and Seniors are firsties.

did you deliver the rainbow flags?

As a local of the community, only the West Point people will know. People living out of town have to come through my town to get to WP. They have their own entrance/exit, but it’s rarely used.

The fact that they actually use silverware and glassware etc not just get food on a tray with paper cups and whatnot.

They get real silverware and porcelain plates, rather than a plastic or metal tray and plastic "utensils" might not seem like a big difference, but to me when i was homeless and couldn't keep dishes let alone clean them or cook properly getting back using to real forks and spoons literally made me feel more like a person again. Stainless steel knives dont just *refuse* to cut something like a plastic knife, and stainless forks dont break off tines and bits of plastic into your food.

Sitting at a table eating with utensils off plates. Not sitting on the sofa, snarfing pizza pockets out of the cardboard they are shipped in.

Just because they have a different etiquette from what you were expecting does not make it not-etiquette. sheesh.

How in the world do they cook that much food at one time?

Why would you use military recipes 😂

Large machines, friend.

I was stationed there from 86 to 90. I might have met him.

That spaghetti was looking good in the video

Many children don't have a meal nor 20 minutes

With what parents let their kids get away with these days, the less the better.

Don't forget the Acid and Amphetamines! Oh and N64 and Sega Dreamcast or Sega Saturn

Heaven help you if you looked up while eating

@@seattlesix9953 yeah no kidding. I think that was the most frustrating thing about being enlisted. You have to listen to these guys who didn't suffer like you did. Who play politics with your livelihood. Just so they can get more bullet points on their quarterly evaluations to rank up.

Waste of our tax dollars

Idk about the academies, but in AFROTC Field Training we absolutely had to do that shit. 10 minutes to eat, while seated at the position of attention, no looking down or talking whatsoever, etc.

This isn’t basic though. The incoming Freshman have to go through that phase of not being able to say a word through meals, but that happens over a period of 50 days in the summer. After that they proceed to have another four years of going to college.

Enlisted get about 15 minutes. so...this is luxury. And by 15 minutes that is: Sanitize, enter Chow hall, get your tray, get your drink, go sit, choke it down, get up, drop off drink, drop off tray, and go back to formation. Sitting down to eat time: 5 minutes tops.

This is a collage remember

Don't insult the guys with Italian heritage.. Noodles and ketchup is more like it.

Definition: "the customary code of polite behavior in society or among members of a particular profession or group."

The thrown about utensils lmao. Etekit /Stonks Guy meme/

Kids and cretin-hosts using words they don’t understand. Better to say it’s a tradition of eating together at lunch in mixed groups to encourage bond building between different classes/years. The utterly unprofessional sprinkling down of cutlery by the eating end from a hand grasping out of a mixing bowl would get most wait staff a warning and a docked wage for screwing up the business food hygiene standards. How hard is it to pre-arrange the cutlery like a restaurant would by wrapping the set in a napkin instead of handing some random a bowl of utensils?

The etiquette that the plebs are responsible for making sure actually happens _🥴_

Should have spent more time leaning English and less time watching cadets eat.

@@oni_goroshiAt least he actually turned into a mature adult. Child! ✌️

You’re sitting with the people in your company/squad. It’s basically like a larger scale version of your house at Hogwarts. They serve as your “family” for the year.

How i miss that? All i seen was dude handle utensils by the non eating end.

Have you ever gone to a restaurant? The servers who wrap your silverware do it at the end of/beginning of their shift barehanded.
