@jhonnycashowns I'd like to see the stats that back up that claim. Thanks.

The training environment for an OCS candidate and basic training are completely different than the training Soldiers/Marines receive as part of their jobs. This is why the Fort Lee dining facility is more relaxed than a dining facility that is feeding basic training recruits or OCS candidates. ^PB

This is much more relaxed then a video i saw about Marine OCS candidates, with some weird procedures for eating, i've never seen anything like it, and had to ask what was the point of it..do they do that in the army as well? if your not sure of what im talking about, i can refer you to the link

[aaronbxiii]

[diazaa]

Darn, I was part of the Marine Detachment (not the cooks). This looks like USMC officer chow hall area.

I eat at this DFAC three times a day, every day, have been for 5 weeks now and will for the next 9. AIT Ordnance Soldier. This DFAC is a wonderful building. The problem is, the second floor is usually closed. Most of the staff that work here are inefficient for the number of us that need to be fed. Whether a problem with funding or quality of employees, I don't know, but this DFAC disappoints soldiers daily with slow service and poor food, or lack of food because they run out often.

Take all you want, but eat all you take!

Army food was good & plentiful in the 1980s, and Army cheffs were special. No special touch in the meals were ever missed, during my watch.

Since then standards in all Armed Services have fallen. This video is a good sign, though a handsome new building is nowhere near as important as the quality of the food ingredients and the mastery of the cheffs involved.

I can wait awhle extra for perfect bread porkchops, mashers with tons of thick gravy!

[yooper2]

IT STILL CANT FIT AN ENTIRE BATALLION THROUGH 1 LINE!!! yeah no wonder falls out instead of going to chow on sunday...

[ithpally]

this is where i will be doing my ait, and i am stoked!

[JSwartz225543]

That was a nice DFAC. Second floor was useless though.

[NextVideoGames]

I've been to Fort Lee, well I go there every week cause I live 30 minutes way from there.

[suwopinyohood]

Largest DFAC in the Army? i bet. Fat body ! hahah

[redtib2003]

Finally, in 2006 once I waited an HOUR to enter

[thebrownguy79]

Definitely not Air Force. Army folk have to bus their own trays!

[samfisher320]

The Army has food that looks that good..wow i really cant wait till I graduate!!!

[UnMelodicProductions]

[marcusebrawner]

[JamaicanApostolic]

[SoSoLucky13]

Hmmm NICE.. i guess i have something to look forward to when i go to AIT.

[1997ne0n]

because fort lee is now ordnance hq. i am there now for AIT eating at that DFAC everyday.

[armyengineersnorfolk]

From 2005 to 2011, the size of Fort Lee and the square footage of buildings will double to support Soldiers through sustainment, preparation, resetting and transformation. Larger facilities such as the dining facility are needed to accommodate more Soldiers at Fort Lee due to BRAC changes such as the relocation of the Ordnance Center and Schools from Aberdeen and Redstone Arsenal, Ala., to Fort Lee, Va.

[TheLilbear2009]

its because they are adding more students, and crap.

[aprilfawne]

why on earth did the army build the biggest DFAC at one of the smallest installations???
