I searched for any threads on this and didn't find any. So yeah, I'm a vegetarian (want to fight about it?). I don't want to get into a debate about whether you can survive or be healthy without meat, but basically the compromises I'd make for the Navy are this: I'll eat eggs and any dairy except milk (lactose intolerant--can't stand the stuff). What is eating like on a ship in the first place? Are the meals absolutely fixed every day? I've researched this a bit on the internet and most of my searches yield "navy bean" recipes, but really all I have are anecdotes from higher level officers (one was O-4) about it being tough but not impossible. They guy also said they (whoever "they" is--don't know if he was even on a ship) occasionally offer vegan options. I find this hard to believe.
Related question: will everyone call me gay or something for being a vegetarian (is there a DADT policy for vegetarians)? And will it be especially tough getting through OCS? Thanks.
