Fort Stewart soldiers aren't reviewing the food anymore. They're reviewing whether they can get fed at all. With an overall 2.7 Hots rating.
Straight from the latest DFAC reviews:
"1ABCT has closed all DFACs and Kiosks on the brigade footprint. The closest DFAC is a 90 minute round trip if you don't have a car."
"Waited 25 minutes for a hot dog and scoop of mashed potatoes. All the drink machines (including water) were broken... they ran out of the main entrées since it's the only open DFAC."
At the hospital DFAC: "you can only get one piece of bacon... one protein... probably 15g. I have to buy extra protein just to recover after workouts."
This isn't a picky-eater problem. It's a food access problem.
And it's not happening in a vacuum. We've heard the planned CSDV for Fort Stewart is delayed & based on the contract, should already be operational by now. So soldiers are being asked to absorb closures and consolidation while the modernized dining that was supposed to fill the gap still isn't open with no ETA as far as we know.
One review from a soldier who tried the right channels: "Told leadership multiple times but nothing happens."
We need to ensensure Soldiers have access to good food.
Drawing up an employee handbook for when we open a cafe - roast shop in Ohio.
We are going to revolutionize the cafe experience.
We will be the first cafe to care about the health of a customer and telling the truth about products they consume.
For instance…
Customer: Do you have almond milk?
Proper Stocking Mill response: No. There is no such thing dipshit. You can’t milk an almond…
But if you would like Filtered Water, Almonds), Cane Sugar, Almond Oil, Calcium Carbonate, Potassium Citrate, Sea Salt, Tara Gum, Sunflower Lecithin, Gellan Gum, Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin D2, D-Alpha-Tocopherol mixed into a creamy white substance and poured in your coffee….
We can do that.
Almond milk isn’t.
In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.
We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Police Officer Claudia Morrison, who died as a result of cancer she developed following her assignment to the search and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Officer Morrison dedicated 17 years of her life to serving with the New York City Police Department. Throughout her distinguished career, she protected and served her community through her assignment at the 123rd Precinct.
She is survived by her three daughters, her partner, and her three sisters. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time. Her dedication, bravery, and ultimate sacrifice for her city and country will never be forgotten.
