Ulllhinlg KP Every basic trainee learns that since an army moves on its stomach, one of the most important, and possibly the most unglamorous, duties in Kitchen Police, KP, as it is known in its abbreviated form, consists of assisting the mess personnel in their daily duty: feeding a company of hungry soldiers. 1 ,, .A XE' The Training Center, on an average day, uses approxi- mately 2,300 dozen eggs for the morning meal among its 58 mess halls. That's a lot of sticky cutlery to Wash at six in the morning. A normal roast beef dinner takes up about 41,784 pounds of beef. More dirty trays and cutlery to clean.
