Lol...I remember the VOLAR beer machines in the barracks....I think it was 25 cents a beer but could be wrong. I also think it was the 3.2 variety.

I also remember the Coca Cola dispenser that was put in the Mess Hall....the CSM stood by it the first day daring anyone to use it...no one did.

I get his point of view....some shit shouldn't happen.

This was in the day when officers did not eat in the Mess hall generally, NCO's did so in a screened section and there were DRO's.....
