Take two shifts, one permanent days, the other permanent nights. The night crew see the day crew getting a cooked three course meal, while they are fed sandwiches, wouldn't you be a bit pissed off?
OK, running to the press is bit OTT but servicemen have been bitching for centuries and in the era of social media and instant communication niggles like this are certain to get an airing. The old saying that the military marches on its stomach always holds, ignore it and morale plummets. I have not yet looked at ARRSE to see their comments, but I can just imagine!
