You’re hungry, there’s food in the refrigerator, but it needs to be cooked – but you don’t know how to cook. What are your options? You have no idea, previously, you knew what time chow was, breakfast, lunch and dinner – and you knew exactly where the chow was and even what time to get there so you would be first in line. If you were like me the last thing you want to do is NOT be at the chow hall and first or maybe 2nd in line. That doesn’t work now that you are home, additionally you no longer live in the barracks where someone next door can tell you how it works.
