About the DFAC

I've been meaning for a couple weeks to write about the Dining Facility (DFAC) here. It's called "Devils Den", I think I figured out why its called that, because the food is so bad it tastes like its came from hell.

Typical morning chow starts about 6:45 after PT. I usually get one of those little boxes of cereal, a hard egg, bacon, and a glass of chocolate milk. Breakfast is about the most decent meal of the day. The first time I had chow they made omelets that were really good, but haven't seen them since.

For lunch if we are out in the field training, we'll eat MRE's (Meal Ready to Eat) which will either make you constipated or the opposite. I usually just eat the gum and fruit out of them. Here's what they look like...

Then for dinner we eat back in the DFAC, usually they have some variance of a dried up chicken dish. I usually go through the 'fast lane' and get a soy burger and fries. The usually have some good watered down kool-aide mixed up.

Now, I'm sure you are feeling really bad that I have to eat this crap. But let me tell you, there are good Army DFAC's out there, this is just not one of them! I've heard the ones in Iraq are top notch and I would expect nothing less for the men and women over there. I also happen to make my way over to the on-post Burger King or Anthony's Pizza! There is also an excellent Chinese delivery! (I usually get Sesame Chicken which reminds me of a special someone)
