Military Food

[hawkeye1877]

I am at a Military School in the US, and am having a hard time getting enough good food. Any of you got any suggestions on some healthy things i can keep on hand that i don't have to be able to cook. I really don't have much of a problem getting enough food here, but it is nearly all junk, and only open 3 times a day.

Beef Jerky
tuna
turkey

are you in private quarters or in 4 man rooms?

i'm in the canadian forces, my buddies and I always go and buy one of those small mini-fridges, they ussually have them at the Cannex (about 150$), which base are you at? Protien Powder/Meal Replacement drinks are always good, w/skim milk in the fridge, the top of the fridge is ussually flat and double's as a "mixing station"

I know what your goin thru brutha, all the food that is served is hi-calorie/carb based, same goes with MRE's

keep 2 in your fighting order & another 6 in your rucksack, their often carried at your local kitshop, they really help out in the field

unfortatley i am in a positon where i have no access to food other than the mess hall, and non-perishable i can keep in my room. i can get plenty of food at the mess hall but the problem is it is all high carb.

what base are you at?

Fort Lewis has a goddamn Mall in it (literally, like Wal-Mart, Tacobell, everything) - you shouldn't have a problem getting access to food outside of mess hours

are you in training? you will probably have to just make due till you're done w/school. once you become perminant party you have a ton more flexability.
