Description
This dining facility is on Warren AFB. An Omelette with everything, a large glass of Orange juice that looked and tasted like fresh squeezed, a Cappuccino (yep) and a large Banana cost $6.
Things sure have changed since I was on active duty in the 60s. Dining facilities were called chow halls, and we ate what was served, usually hash browns and eggs or SOS (s..t on a shingle), which I hated. Later, In Southeast Asia we ate out of mess kits, freeze dried hash browns, fake eggs, cool aid, and fake milk, or C rations. But that was when there was a draft on and the military didn't need any incentives to fill their quota.

thanks for serving Sig. this looks very clean
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
look like a good place
Great capture, Sig!
The MRE's that are for the field have changed immensely - almost restaurant quality food. they definitely put the C-rats to shame
@Faemike55: I liked the MRE's too Mike, but only ate them occasionally!
Great capture! :-)
I joined in 1974, called them mess halls. The food on submarines was pretty good, though eggs start to turn green after a month or so at sea. They didn't start having you pay outside the Air Force until after I retired in the 90s.
It looks like a posh hotel!
Hey ! It looks like a restaurant ! Difficult to believe you are in the army there :-) My husband was in the Navy and he ate very good plates, even crab on New Year's evening ! But now, it's far far away back in time ;-)
A fond memory, great capture!
What a beautiful kitchen! I'd love to have one like that.
very nice shot
Six Dollars? They have to pay for their food today?
