FORT HOOD, Texas – The daily life of a Soldier can be very hectic. Physical training in the morning, medical or dental appointments, training, equipment maintenance, inventory of equipment, formations and paperwork can take up a good portion of the day. Factor in trying to leave work at a reasonable time to see the family, and you can see choices must be made.
One thing that might be sacrificed is lunch. Soldiers at The Great Place get an hour and a half for lunch, so they can have that time to get things done during the business day. Some will work out, others will take care of off-post business.
At the Theodore Roosevelt Dinning Facility, Soldiers can stop by and get a Grab -N- Go lunch or breakfast. Located on the west side of the DFAC, Soldiers grab lunch in a quick manner and go about their business.
“They can grab [lunch] from here, it makes it easier on them” said Sgt. Julian Paguio, the noncommissioned officer in charge of the Grab-n-Go line with 20th Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade.
“I have an appointment at 12:30, so I’m trying to hurry up and eat,” said Spc. Ryan Roberts, 974th Motor Roll Bridge Company, 62nd Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade. “Usually the DFAC, at this time, is pretty packed.”
Items on the menu include turkey burgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken salads and chicken tenders for lunch. For breakfast, Soldiers can pick up bagels, bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches, boiled eggs, cereal or fruit cups.
The meals are comparable to anything you get at a fast food restaurant with less wait. The Grab-n-Go line is open from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. for breakfast and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for lunch. So even if you missed lunch at the other DFACs on post, you can still grab something.
So, if you are in a hurry and want something other than fast food stop by the Theodore Roosevelt DFAC and grab your lunch.
