My brother checked with a friend who's a former "commissaryman," as
the Navy officially calls cooks. Said buddy recalls "shit in a seabag"
from 1972, the year that he entered commissary school.
So,
a) Brother got out of Navy in '67. Unfamiliar with this slang term.
b) Brother's friend joined in '72. The term was being used.

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
