This is true in many cases. Many are working up to twelve hours with no food beyond the breakfast they eat prior to duty and the dinner they get after duty if they don't go straight to bed. The biggest problem is when you have the guys running convoys and patrols getting nothing, while all of the people that work on Base get to go to the chow hall for lunch. Even at that it's not much. It used to be you could go to the chow hall and get all the food you need, eat until you're full. Now, the amounts of food are restricted. You can only get one main food item, and no more seconds. You eat what you're permitted and get out. _________________ <table border=0 cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1 height=50 width=400 align=left><tr><td colspan=1 align=center valign=middle>[img] </td><td colspan=1 align=center valign=middle> TSgt USAF</td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 align=center valign=middle></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 align=center valign=middle> Forum Vice Chairman Joint Chiefs[Staff XO] Administrator Company XO M.S.T.

I had hoped to come back on and see that maybe someone found out that this was wrong! (good to see you!!) Trust me I will send emails, phone calls, and everything else I can think of to get this out.  We will not stand for this at all back at home..Again thank you for sharing this with us!!! Afsp I will do my part too. Go to other states etc. We WILL get this out... We will not let this get by this group here. Together we can change what is wrong there even if it is just the food they get...Also if you do get to see the movie let me know they have pulled it from here, so I will have to wait until it comes back or for the DVD! _________________ Staff member Company Liaison M.S.T.

As for the food getting hot in the field and going bad. Wake up government. They make insulated lunch boxes that keeps food cold or hot. Supply our troops with them, how much room can they take up for goodness sake.  Smitty I too am so sorry you guys are having to put up with such crap while you are out there putting your lives on the line for us here back home. Be assured we will be writing our congressman, I for one am going to also write Bush. This is just not accepteable, not at all. _________________ Staff Moderator Company XO   M.S.T. Charlie CO. SR.

Some of the recent revelations to come out of the military, the lack of food and the 82nd ABN Barracks is a horrible way to treat our men & women who WILLINGLY, with no draft going on, Volunteered for the most part to serve in combat in Iraq & Afganistan and our government takes a giant crap on them while they sacrifice their lives AND when they come home, I'm ashamed of our current govenment. We can help these folks though byr what we said we are all going to do, I've already contacted Sen. Dole & Rep. Coble and their offices said they were unaware of the situation with the Oklahoma National Guard and of any Acitive Duty Food shortages or restrictions, to which I replied "well you are aware now, so fix it." _________________ Administrator Forum Chairman Joint Chiefs [Staff CO] Commanding Officer[CO] Forum awards comity Moderator Staff Company staff officer M.S.T.
