intresting info.  what i have to offer is that Dune will not eat in the chow hall, said it has bad reviews so he cooks in the shared kitchen.  send your daughter over there and he will cook steak and fish for her.

My husband lived in the barracks here on NAS JAX for a year before we got married.  He had a griddle but he said your not supposed to and they are pretty strict about it and you can get caught with it during a room inspection.  The do have another galley though in the hospital, it's the only one I've ever been to and I like it.  From the people I've talked to who have ate at both they like the convenience of the main galley but the variety of the hospital galley. Does she have a car?  The USO hosts a "no dough" dinner once a pay period at NS mayport, the other base in town.  Also on base there is the Budweiser Brewhouse/the zone (904-542-3900), it's a restraunt/ bar with wifi, they have a good variety of foods and daily deals, they also host activity nights like poker, karoke (sp?).  You can eat in, pick up or they have delivery monday-friday.  Also there is Mulligans inside of the golf club house, a place most don't think of but they have good sandwiches and such.  I also enjoy the Chinese restraunt - New China (904-779-5588) which is right next to target off base(they don't deliver), tell her to try the H11 Four Season (My fav).  I hope this helps some, my hubby just returned from deployment and even though I had a fully equiped kitchen I still hated cooking for just me.

ZZsmom- I wish I could help but my son doesn't live in the barracks. They should have given her a list of stuff she can and cannot have in her room. I know at Corry and NAS they could not have anything with an outside burner. He used an instant hot water heater for tea and coffee and a ninja blender in his room. But you really can't cook with those. I don't know what my other son has but he is in Japan and just got there.

Ok Moms out there.  What can my girl cook with/on in her barracks?  I know there is a microwave.  Can they have a crockpot?  Small George Foreman?  Quesadilla type grill?  The girl is already sick of the chow and eating out is so unhealthy.On top of that cooking for one is so difficult...suggestions please...anyone!

Just got my call that Dune made it back, guess he was there Sunday night so had to give him the "but i worried this whole time and you should call your mother so i know your not broken down or in the ditch someplace" speach... all i got was i love you gotta go.  turd, some things never change he is soooooo independent.

Now that sounds pretty chilly for the south i think.. wonder if they have longjohns for our sailors

Congrats navydadjim.

ZZsmom glad your sailor made it here okay.

Safe travels for your sailors dunesmom and gabbyhat. The weather is suppose to get cold starting monday night. Suppose to be 30 at night and only 50 in the day. I might have to turn on the heat.
