You're a die hard Ed.

Actually, I did have a meal there during the PDT last year and mess hall food certainly has taken a few steps up since the fried baloney days.

Got my instructions today: yep barracks with sleeping bags it is. I have rented a car for the week so at least I won't be "CBd".

Looking forward to getting back to KAF and getting away from this damned snow.

When ever you get settled and some of that fine army grub in you ..give me a call..I should be home afer Sunday..The rental gives you the freedom to do lots more than mope around the Barracks..and get out to Gracies...

What snow? If the forecasts are good... 50 mm rain due in the next day or so.... it should be mainly slop by the end of the weekend, and then the slop will freeze.

Steady highs of -12 here, and lows of -20 or lower. Snow is 4 feet and higher in the garden. Wife had to dig to find the compost container again today. Fortunately, we did have a couple days of warmth so the top of the snow has frozen enough to support a person. Makes snowblowing impossible though.

Scheduled temp when I get to KAF middle of the week following is a high of 29 and a low of 14 with some showers to keep the dust down.

Default Connaught Barracks vs KAF

The barracks in Connaught are slightly better than the BATS in KAF and the food is on par with institutional fair. At least you can get beer in Connaught.
