Yea never been to there but this is my 4th time in Iraq. You will be ok if get on a FOB that has over a 1000 people then the get the contracted food. Then there is better food there then you get in the states you can eat as healthy has you want if you end up in one of those FOBs. As far as going out on mission that is what hurt me last deployment is beeing at a JSS wich is what I am at now. The one i was at last deployment did't have a gym and we did 30 day rotation with ony two weeks back at the FOB so its all on your mission set. What is your MOS?

This is a tip I was given.
"make your shakes like this -mixture of BCAAs, a good whey isolate, egg protein, soy protein, rice protein and casein protein to allow for a great sustained release"

The Egg protein, you can buy powdered eggs whites ( I just got some), great stuff, cheap and it's real food, but tastes like sh#t, however in a mix you can not taste it.


Be safe bro

Yea most lilely our you will be doing infantry sh*t. A lot of the scouts do the same job as us, most combat arms end up doing the job of the infantry anyway. Check out my other post I posted yester day in the diet section I found good website to buy freez dried veggys and caned meat don't know how it tase jut bought my first shipment and waiting for it to come, but its not about the tast when you trying to gain or keep muscle.
