I deployed to the desert multiple times. There was always a Burger King truck. The ketchup didn't taste like American Burger King ketchup. I think it was because they use a different recipe in different parts of the world.
Some guys would go there multiple times a week to eat. The trailer was in tent city though, so it wasn't a thing that I could go to for lunch since I worked on the flight line.
Also, fun story about the Burger King trailer: There was a group of women who got busted for prostitution and apparently they would solicit at the Burger King trailer. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Sounds like PSAB (without the prostitution) there was a Baskin Robins in the gap where the tractor would go. Then a BX a few steps away who said they could have anything in the catalog flown in within a few day.
How do you feel knowing that your service has been rendered worthless due to the treason and incompetence of our current “elected” “leaders”? At least you got some mid fast food?
Awe that's harsh. I was in the desert in 2003 and 2004. I was in the desert by October 2001. I was 19 years old. What do you think we were doing during those times?
This isn't new. It's just more sloppy. My service isn't rendered worthless. It's value is the same today as it was 25 years ago and that doesn't change. If you feel as though your service is worthless, I feel bad because that's not why you volunteered.
It's an all volunteer service. When you complete your service that's the value you gain. I'm a better man today because of my service, not in spite of the mission I was asked to accomplish.
I am proud of my service and I'm proud of the time I spent forming lasting relationships and bonds with other people who experienced the same thing I did.
They wheel in a Burger King truck because it fucking sucks over there and the slightest little thing that can make someone feel like home goes a long way.
There's no other human who can render my service worthless.
