The ChowBot 3000’s mission is to terminate hunger. Programmed with a need to feed, it doesn’t stop until all bellies entering its food zone are filled. Lance Cpl. Devin Williams, the Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, mess hall manager, created the ChowBot costume after wondering what to be for Halloween. During deployments most service members lose any semblance to regular life, but during holidays a lack of tradition and familiarity can be difficult. Williams, who counts Halloween among his favorite holidays, didn’t see a reason serving in Afghanistan should hinder tradition. “I’m not going to let a deployment spoil my Halloween,” Williams, from Chicago, said.
