in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Enlisted members can eat in hospital messes when they work there or are sick patients. This includes retired members and reservists. Nurse Corps officers can eat there too, but they must pay for their meals.

(a) Enlisted members of the Navy or Marine Corps who work in a hospital, or who are patients there because they're sick, can eat in the hospital's mess. This includes retired members and members of the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve who are sick. When someone eats this way, the hospital's budget gets credited an amount equal to the value of a hospital ration, set by the Secretary of the Navy. (b) Nurse Corps officers may also eat in hospital messes, following rules set by the Secretary. Unlike enlisted members, each nurse must pay for her own meals, at a rate the regulations set.
