Is there any functional difference between a commissary and a mess hall?

i always thought of a mess hall as being like a school cafeteria.

You're right -- it's a lot like that! Except instead of the kids forming eating cliques on their own (or in addition to it), you've got the formal segregation between officer and enlisted eating areas.

just like the teachers going through the same food line (as the students) but eating in their own little room off to the side!
