A word on comfort. Most base services (Even in deployed environments) are not paid for by the Department of Defense or the US Tax payers. They are paid for by the end users. PXs and their other service counterparts (Along with most of the other services offered on base such as resteraunts, conveniences stores, theatres, etc) are kept running by the profits made via thier sales.  

 

While the bitching is rediculous, as far as "the Baghdad BX doesn't have the Nintendo DS game I want! WAAA" end of it, please don't give the poor civilians in the room the misguieded thoughts that these luxury services are being paid for with thier hard earned tax dollars. When it comes to personal comfort, whether it be the shop snackbar, the squadron booster club, or the base theatre, all that money is generated by the troops themselves. 

 

As far as "Us whining airforce pukes" goes, the only base service I want is an open firing range, and the option to shoot an M-16 on it whenever I want. I think it would help with the stress

Okay, I really don't know what the hell my computer did to post that like a million times, but I am all type kinds of apologetic for it happening. I honestly did not mean to spam the hell out of this board.

Any moderators or server gods floating around here?
