I was in C-2/92 from 86-89. One good thing about the mess hall was that you could blow your whole paycheck and still be able to eat for the rest of the month. I remember being on KP during my first Graf (I was at about 8 of them) and scrubbing pots in a field kitchen. At least the tent was warm. Good training.

Where is SP5 Spinks, the one who put mogas in our chow at Wildchicken.. Snow up to our butt, and he feeds us that stuff. The Commander had words with him and i went to my foot locker for a can of spam... Better than nothing.. The bread was safe, but i understand that a fuel can fell over on the meat while it was in the mess trailer.
Blankenship this name sticks with me as a great mess steward.
His holiday meal was the best that i can remember in my 30 years in.

Hey does anyone remember hollering out "cruit" when someone dropped a glass or a dish in the mess hall. I remember eating off of those MKT's in graf. We had the best mess section,where else could you go out in the middle of the woods,2oclock in the morning and get freshly made donuts and piping hot vegetable soup as you went on guard shift. Let's hear it for the night bakers of Svc Btry 5/3rd FA 84-87. Thanks Hartman

I remember that mess Sgt. and I remember Graf, there was an acting 1st Sgt that came into our barracks with nothing but a tee shirt on, that was crazy.

I used to work in the mess hall as a civilian KP back in the early 80s, and yes, I do remember Sgt Wimp. The little goof had a crush on me... even wrote me a poem. A couple of years later when we were stationed in Texas, I was flipping through the tv channels and spotted Wimp on an episode of Geraldo. He was on tv for having the hobbie of adding plus one on the calculator! haha!

Some other cooks that I remember... I think the Mess Sgt. was Thomas, then there was Eutsey, another girl, Grace Daniels, who worked KP and I called Eutsey "Daddy." I worked with Eutsey again during our second tour in Friedburg, Germany. Then there was BJ, the supply guy, Mike Barb, and the gay guys, Perry and Whitehead. One of the older cooks... big black guy used to call them "girls" all the time. Another big black guy... I think his name was Dawson. Another black guy, Taylor left Germany with the KP shift leader, a Spanish girl, Maria Rickelman. My neighbor Cathy Mello also worked there, Kelley Wilson, another girl... Jackie... can't remember her last name, she was a former soldier who married a soldier. Ah yes, and the Mexican girls... Tammy and I can't remember the other one's name.

I remember one Saturday or Sunday at breakfast some poor guy passed out in the serving line and everyone just stepped right over him.

I remember the laundry mat across the street from the mess hall had beer in the soda machine. We grabbed many a beer on our break from that machine. Oh yeah, who remembers the Rendezvous??? Lots of fun times there dancing.

One time when we got new mop buckets we had mop bucket races around the mess hall. hehe! We were always coming up with fun things to do at work... like singing in the clipper room. I made up a song to the tune of Winter Wonderland... workin' in a KP wonderland.
