Fort Lee dining facility is largest in the Army

I miss my medium rare chicken.

While I was ETS’ing I went to every dining facility I ate at while at Ft. Campbell and thanked every cook and food service personnel for all what they did for us. You all deserved our thanks.

I was a food service specialist in the Marines and we served good food and our Marines where well fed most of all we took pride in our jobs and I personally loved being able to start a persons day off right. God bless SEMPER FIDELIS

Seeing the sunset from the second floor while you are letting the troops eat before you. Is a gift

I'm an old 80s soldier, and our food was fantastic! we always ate good, had plenty, and it was a great tasting menu.

As an Air Force personal, I was sent to Ft. Lee for the quartermaster course in 1961. The thing I remember most was the eggs we would drink for breakfast. I have eaten in mess halls in the Air Force ,Army and the Navy. Navy chow is by far the best. Eat a lot of C and K rations while in the field in Texas. Ft. Lee, Alaska, North Carolina, and Florida and some places I cannot mention. Loved that canned spam.

When I was assigned to Fort Lee back in 1966, we got great meals, well planned and well prepared. It's nice to see things have gotten even better since.

Wow. When i was in highschool i was told that all soldiers had just a 10mins for all his lunch and then he had to run out. we are happy hear the better and well provisioned catering facility in each decade.

When I was at Ft Lee for training in 1970 - we ate in a company size mess hall. We would line up for chow - there was only room for about 5 people to sign in for chow - the rest would be standing outside - yep - even if it was raining! ....

0:42 I went to Fort Lee in 2010 as a 91D Charlie Company, Class 38D, and I remember SSG Aceves in my company. It's been so long. I miss the good old days.

I joined the Marines as a 17 year old back in 1981. One of the best decisions I ever made. The 3 warm meals a day were the first in my young life. 40 years later I can still tell you what my first meal was. It was spaghetti and garlic toast. I needed that kind of daily support in those days. My favorite meal in those days. Was a unhealthy but yummy breakfast. 2 patties of hash browns, 3 over easy eggs laid on top, then sausage gravy over that. 4 pieces of toast, a couple of glasses of orange juice. And yet I weighed only 160 pounds the majority of my Marine Corps Career. By the way if we were on ship and heading into an operation. We almost always got surf and turf. Also mid rats were awesome. No need to head to fast food.

Fort Dix 1971. The induction center mess hall was Hugh. Looked like an aircraft hangar. I pulled KP there on thanksgiving day. We served 4000 turkey diners. The organization the mess Sargent and cooks had to get the job done was beyond impressive.

The two best days of my Basic training were the days I was assigned to KP. The first time we were chosen, and five of us had the best day, washing dishes, eating and taking smoke breaks whenever we wanted (between mealtimes, anyway). The second time they came looking for volunteers, and 5 hands shot up immediately, before anyone else realized “hey, these guys have already done it, and are volunteering again! There must be something to this!”😂

Nothing is too good for those that serve. Thank you!!!

I'm so happy for this generations Army troops. I was stationed at Ft. Lee but it was a long time ago that I don't remember what the mess looked liked. I would guess that it was quite old. This new one sure looks fantastic! These soldiers work hard & deserve a top notch mess hall!

My son-in-law served in Ft. Lee, during the Iraq War, at the same time, our son served at Camp Lejeune. It was a very stressful time for our family. God Bless our troops.

I trained as a 94b cook at ft lee in 81. learned a lot there and one thing I want to say we fed the troops the best we could with what we had!!! and cleanliness was a virtue!!! "allons"

10/10 would eat here again. I went to ordinance school here, the chow hall has a ridiculous amount of choices.

I didn't realize that this facility was this young. I just graduated from the Ordnance school back in January

I was pretty much a fan of Army chow my whole career. Good chow will always be one of the great motivators when it comes to positively affecting the troop's morale.
