**I had enough trouble on an Air Force base to eat lunch with $6.**
I did well on “Separate Rations” while in the USAF. The local base bowling alley had the best burgers and a Pepsi, although I preferred Coke.
Over the last six years....a real burger menu at a military bowling alley, with soda...runs now around $8...which is pitiful if you think about the cost. Then you imagine some kid trying eat a $2 meal at some school cafe...even with federal money flowing....it’s a lousy choice.
