I figured out where I work, and that my hours are basically whatever I want them to be most days. This base is tiny as gently caress, too. My last AD station was something like 80,000 people. This morning I waited on two cars at the gate.

What do people do for lunch around here? I can't really do poo poo until I get network access so I'm basically watching people read email all day for a while and will need to escape.

That place is great, there's a Vietnamese restaurant (vinh pho I believe) that is pretty good, the wok is a good Chinese place with a great egg drop soup. There's also the Waterhole, has $1 tacos on Monday, and decent burritos.

If you're an LNO or something like that we may cross paths. I'll be the guy who's loving worthless because I haven't learned my job yet or even gotten approved for computer access.

I've driven past VN Pho a few times...it's on my list to try. Good suggestions. Mongolian at the o-club is actually pretty good.

Proles seem to be allowed into the lunch section. The O-section was closed off. There were plenty of Es there for Mongolian today (price is based on weight, FYI). I don't know how their other food is, or if its every day or what though.

I was lucky enough to get flown off the boat early to attempt to get things setup ahead of time. and I stand corrected on the O-Club, but I will definitely avoid it, I see enough of our officers on a day to day basis.

"Silver State Dining Facility" or whatever is the right side of the o-club building, but it's the all hands galley replacement. Mongolian is every couple of weeks, and the rest of the time it's relatively good galley-style food. On base you also have the bowling alley, which does decent pizza and extremely "meh" sandwiches.

VN Pho is good Vietnamese. Azteca is good for burritos and other Mexican staples. Courtyard Cafe has good breakfast and lunch. And it's a bit farther west up highway 50, but Squeezy's is a little diner literally attached to the livestock exchange and it's got great, greasy diner fare.

And if you want all-you-can-eat sushi in the middle of the desert, look no further than The Wok on main street.

You could saran wrap his entire desk/chair.

But who the gently caress cares about a bull at a shore command. Also why the gently caress are you on shore duty as an ensign?
