Combat Cafe

The chow hall is a bit of a walk from the JOC compound where I work. Not too far, but in 90 degree weather it becomes a slight deterrent. When it gets to 110 I'm sure it will be worse. Luckily, there's an alternate facility very nearby. The head shed and the Joint Operations Center are right next to each other and around the corner from them is the Combat Cafe. It has everything that the main chow hall has, just a little less of it. Next to that is the Old Cantina which used to serve alcohol in the evenings but has been closed due to staffing issues. Typically we grab our lunch in a to go container, stuff some cookies and a Gatorade into our cargo pockets, and head back up into our workspace since the seating area is so limited. It makes for a handy dinner as well.
