I’m talking state side, not overseas.... What I hated about commissaries was the officers (wives) would fil three to four carts up with meat (in ‘72 to ‘74) and when the enlisted men got to get inside.....there was only chicken wings, gizzards and that was about it, left. Went to Kroger.

Safetgiver,

I remember hearing about that in 73 when I enlisted. I don’t remember actually seeing it. I have never seen it happen the last 30 years. And the commissaries are now ‘state of the art’ not the former converted warehouses of old Ft. Knox, Huachuca, or even Ft. Myer and Cameron Station here in DC in the 80s and 90s.

If you haven’t seen a commissary since your 72-74 tour, you ought to check one out.
