The US Air Force take Moral to a New LEVEL https://www.military.com/daily-news...e-are-all-jealous.html?ESRC=eb_210430.nl This Military Housing Has an MWR Booze Cart, and We Are All Jealous Facebook
Military.com | By Rebecca Alwine We all know base housing comes with pros and cons. Toxic paint and mold problems? Con. Great pet policy? Pro. Weirdly sized kitchen? Con. Proximity to the commissary? Pro. Proximity to the flight line? Pro/con.
But the good people at the Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, MWR office have really leveled up the housing area this time. Maybe it's just a good idea. Maybe it's more of that fancy Air Force life stuff. No matter how you characterize it, it's brilliant.
The Dizzy Duck, a beverage cart with treats for all ages, rolls through base housing on Friday and Saturday evenings serving alcohol for two hours. Yes, you read that right. A base-contracted booze truck drives through the housing area selling drinks two nights each week.
And unlike the ice cream truck you had to sprint after as a kid, this one is probably a little easier to catch. The cart is a giant inflatable duck bungee-corded to the top of a green golf cart. Amazing.
The menu is perfect for happy hour, with $4 mixed drinks, $3-$4 for beer and a $1 mocktail for "The Ducklings." A bag of chips and a peanut butter cookie are also available.
Deployments sound a little bit easier with this amenity on hand. These military families are living the dream for us. If anyone knows how to get The Dizzy Duck available at all installations, please let us know. We are here for this.

I hope that they are able to keep it, it's a great idea, but the military isn't as alcohol friendly as it used to be.
for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

Just wait and see what they come up with when the weed guy starts making rounds. When my old man was stationed at Moron AFB in Spain we lived in the Santa Clara housing area. On Fridays the local brewery's beer truck would go through the housing area honking. If your fridge was low, you stopped it and bought what you needed. The local Coca Cola, Fanta bottler did the same once a week. No ice cream trucks in the summer, but cold beer was available, and they would sell to anyone, including the kids.

Was stationed at Dover for 12 years. All we had back then was the Brown Fox. It was within stumbling distance from the main gate.

I wonder what the Marines have like that? Likely an old red wagon with only three wheels and a broken handle.
