At our FOB(forward operating base) the army had civilian contractors work the dining facility.
meals were similar to those youd see at and college or government cafeteria i assume.
However most of the civilian were Indian and therefore a lot of the food had curry in it. even the mac and cheese. wasnt that good, but theyd have burgers fries grilled cheese etc. All types of sodas too.

Add on top of that, the physical exertion doing your job everyday, lack of sleep and missed meals. I had no idea how much i had lost in 8 months. but now being back in the states over 8 months, ive gained it all back.

WBT, yea, ill give good food and exercise a shot alone first.


on a side note, my PT has been severally lacking the past 5 months due to an injury to my shoulder. I am highly limited on what i can physically do.
ALL i can do is biking and walking, thats it. no running, no push ups, no lifting... Im pending reclass or medical discharge, but thats a whole different story.

But sometimes i will admit, id rather be back in the 'stan. its almost easier there. Hard to explain to non-deployed people.
