I got to eat in the officer's mess at - holy cow, it's been so long -
an airbase near Chicago, used to be the home of a ton of B-52's - it's
defunct now. ANYWAY - man did they ever eat better than the peons.
Not that it was gourmet, but it sure was good and filling - and all
you can eat, naturally. Oh crap - anybody remember the name of the
place? I don't know why they called it officer's mess, either,
because it looked like the same place everyone else ate. My only
experience was working with the Marines and I don't know much about
the Air Force.
