The Mess Hall 
Great food served here.

Here is the place where you could always get a good meal.  H-3 was blessed with some of the finest cooks the Air Force had.  They could make a great meal four times a day.  The fourth meal?   Breakfast was served beginning around 2300 Hours for the Swing and Mids shifts who were just ending or starting their day.  Yes, these cooks could make anything taste great.

 Well, maybe anything except those miserable powdered eggs!

The Mess hall not only gave us some darn good food, it also provided a chance to enjoy that food with some of the best friends a person could ever had.  It was amazing that our cooks found ways to treat us to such good meals even though we were way out somewhere at "The End of the World."

The Holidays meals, like the Thanksgiving meal pictured, could have come right off of the menu of a Five Star restaurant.

Another picture of some of the Greatest Cooks in the World. The picture survived a flood and is showing some damage. If you can help by identifying them, please let me know. Joe P.

These three were some real "cut ups" in the Kitchen.  (Sorry, I just couldn't resist it.)

Unfortunately, they are three more of the many whose names I can no longer recall.

BUT, fortunately, Nick Tazza another Seaman stationed at H-3, could identify at least one of the three.  Here is his comment.    "The guy holding the knife is Lou Suarez. he ran the kitchen. He was a great guy. Always laughing and joking, a real nice person. I was sick once and he brought stuff to my room for me to eat. Aces, really. "

The Airman leaning back in his chair on the left is "Preacher".  "Preacher's" actual name was Pierce but the names  of his companions have slipped from my mind.  I can't recall the names of the Cooks but I do recall that they could really put out some darn good grub!
