Nick -
You are spot on with your post.
I spent a good many years as a platoon sergeant and it was ALWAYS my policy that my men went into chowline first followed by junior NCO's. THEN came senior NCO's and officers. I always ate dead last and if there wasn't enough food for me, the mess sergeant was going to have the seat of his pants in tatters.
Officers and senior NCO's eating first is disgraceful and reflects very poorly upon them.
