My son is deployed and he told me they serve pork at chow. I was surprised, but pleased. Although he misses his mom’s pork BBQ.
In Afghanistan the main base chow hall served turkey bacon and turkey sausage. The camp where I was billeted had it’s own chow hall and the SFC traveled to Germany and purchased the food items. He brought back Bitburger Alcohol Free, Basken Robbins (gallon cartons) and Hagendas (spelling?).
He also brought back whole frozen hogs.
Being in a unit that runs under the radar has it’s perks.
