Iraq Base May End Food Contract
In other news, there is the possibility that we may lose our contracted chow hall, which is excessively disappointing. We eat very well here, with hot meals prepared by contracted foreign laborers (I think they're from India). However, the contract may not get renewed and we are currently in the middle of a battle to either renew or, at the very least, extend it.If we lose our contract, then our cooks will go back to cooking and stop doing whatever else they have been up to. It will also very likely mean MREs for lunch, which means that if I am going to keep up my streak of 0 MREs eaten the entire deployment, I am going to have to either skip lunch or else start making some care package requests for ramen noodles and microwave lunches. :) It will also have a minor impact on troop to task requirements for the companies because they may have to start giving up soldiers for KP.
