Waaaaait a minute... you join the Service, they send you God knows where for who knows how long, you get shot at, people try to blow you up and every day could be your last, but they still make you buy your own your food??? 
No wonder they have to recruit so hard!

Currently, I have a meal card, meaning I can eat in the chow hall for free. However, in the states, since I am married, I get money for food called comrats, or BAS (basic allowance for substance.)
The officers club is not the chow hall, it is like a restaurant on base, so you gotta pay. It was worth it, though.
Make sense?

We didn't get all that much here either. Everyone around us must have got a bit tho... going on 24 hours without power. Wouldn't mind as much if Consumers Energy would do just a tad of power line maintenance once in awhile. I've been complaining to them for 3 years now to get the branches that touch the primaries feeding our property trimmed. Even had the forestry supervisor out here to look at them. He agreed and said, "Yep, they need trimming". And that's as far as that went. Idiots.

Private, out of state subcontractors been getting overzealous with the trimming. They might make it your way before the end of the year. They're even working saturdays. I told them if they didn't move on and the saws kept me awake for another week, I was gonna take an electric framing nailer to any tree I found close to a power pole.

No, Sir, I was on Hansen. There is not a lot to d there...
If I were you, I would try to get to Kadena AFB, they have a killer brunch at the officers club... a whole room devoted to b'fast, and a whole room dedicated to lunch. I'm talking crablegs... it's 16 bucks a person, but worth every penny...
