LOL, when we had no money and wanted to eat at a restaurant we would go to an Airforce Chowhall. Wy better food and they had tableside service. They finally figured out we weren't TDY and shut us down so we just went to another one on the same airforce base.
Haha, gotta love government redundancy!
Speaking of, when I got sent TDY to help oversee getting Homestead AFB back up and running for aircraft operations following Hurricane Andrew’s destruction the Army was overrunning our portable chow hall volume wise and food allocation. Finally the commanding General of the 82 Airborne issued a directive that all army personnel would ONLY utilize their dining facilities. He was actually a pretty nice guy who I knew from Pope/Ft Bragg. He always called me Bitt.
One time our NCOIC of Airfield management/Base Operations was trying to “dress me down” for something she thought I was doing wrong. Well the General was quietly waiting behind her and when she was finished and turned around was she surprised. Then when the General (3 star) started asking me things instead of her boy did her attitude change. Oh and he did address me at Bitt, not Sgt. she was nice to me after that until I retired a year later. IT WAS GLORIOUS!
I was unofficially told she had it out for me because she wasn’t allowed to read my full commendation from my previous base because she only had a TS clearance, plus the fact I was the only one in the office that was allowed to read a couple reports/directives for the same reason. I mean I was only a lowly Tsgt whereas she had a line number for Senior Master Sgt.
