As far as military chow halls go, the one here is about average. It is of course free. That's a great bonus ; ) The only other choices are MRE's (field rations, which come in handy if you can't or don't want to go to the chow hall), Burger King (Ugh!) or Pizza Hut (yes we have one, but they have a VERY limited selection).
I haven't been here for one yet, but apparently they run low on items when convoys don't come in in time. You know you're running low on food if you run out of rice in the middle east ; )
Favorite Dish: Haven't been here long enough to have one!
