Thread: How much time is given to eat in the military?

Please try your best to give me a true exact or approximate answer. And If there are any other tips that might help me, please tell me about it. Thank You.
Thank you everyone for all the answers. I know I have a lot more to worry about, but I am a really slow eater and want to start getting into this fast eating style.

in boot camp we got like 10 minutes. but when I was in the regular navy, my job was a watch type job watching secret equipment so we didn't really have a set meal time, if you were a day worker I think they got like an hour

13 minutes.

you have to eat quick before one of your bunk mates starts blasting.

Depends, but in basic training or AIT you get about 5-7 minutes before your drill sergeant hustles you out of the chow hall and then smokes the living daylights out of you for 20 minutes for having ketchup on your shirt.

Dude, you have A LOT more to worry about other than how long you get to eat.
I only had 10 min. when I was in BC.
Later on it became more relaxed but still had parameters.

at first in basic, you have like three minutes. after that it gets better. in tech school or AIT, you usually have about 20-30 minutes. once you finish training and get into the real military, it is like any other job.

In boot camp, we had 15 minutes to get in, eat, and get back into formation.
Out in the real world, it was either 30 minutes or an hour, depending on the duty station's rules.

in basic training you get like 15 minutes at max. but in regular army on post i get from anywhere to 30 to an hour depending on my work day.

ive heared 10 minutes
ive heared 2 or 3 minutes
depends on your platoon
how far along you are in bootcamp
ect ect ect......
