Hi Mike! What does the ‘W’ stand for in WUSAF?

My son will be going into the AF this summer, after he graduates high school. He STILL hasn’t gotten his school set up - and he went to MEPS last August! They said it should take 2 months. ;) (I told him get used to it, working for the government!)

I guess the amount you want to stock up for depends on 1) your storage space and 2) avaible money the next few months. I got a 2 year’s worth of legumes and grains, prepacked so it was more expensive but much easier, for about $2000, packed and shipped to my door. I got a lot for the money - almost 1200 pounds of food, most of which will last for decades - so they say. I haven’t tested that yet ;) It takes up about...let’s see, I have to go measure - it’s about 5 feet by 5 feet and again, 4 or 5 feet tall. I guess that’s not too bad. It’s less than 1/4 of one of our spare rooms.

Anyway, you can start small and build from there. Or go hog wild, like I did. I think it’s totally a personal preference. Just getting started now is good.

I am so proud of him.
