I have gone there a few times and the food in the cafateria was very good. I went there one time with a small team to talk to brass and had a serviced lunch that was better than many dinners I have had. I could get more chubby serving there.


That's why Marshall didn't want elevators (lifts) or escalators . He wanted ramps . He got them. And the food is a definate improvement . They brought in contract caterers.

No.., I said I'd like to be a procurement officer for the "5-sided squirrel cage". I've been there during war and peace..., and during a war it's not a place I'd want to be. But the guy in charge of "catering" to those egos and stars has the "power" of the Pentagon without having to have a "presence" in the Pentagon. (and Osterhaut is right, the food is good.)

A long time ago, (longer than I want to remember), on the inside ring, third floor, North East, - you know where that is - I once had a meal. Woof!!

Grilled pheasant, with a side of grilled Virginia dove breasts, asparagus tips, new peas, Basmati rice, an arugula salad, grapefruit sections, a Wisconsin Bleu with black walnuts and vinaigrette, and a California Pinot.

Damn, it's good to be da brass.

Yeah , but O-5's and O-6's get to "hot-rack" cubicals. And the only people who get treated with respect are enlisted. Because there's not enough, they are the only one's who have reall skills, and everybody wants some. I once had an USAF 3-star tell me, I've got more O-6's than I know what to do with. They make coffee and do errands. But what I'd give for clerk typists or yeomen! I'd promise one of them his own office! (The General didn't even have a private office!).

But this thread isn't about war - it is about WITP - so you can be the bits on the left - or the bits on the right! That is if you were "in" WITP.

That's why I wanted to be their Procurement Officer. Somebody's has to check out all those "goodies" to make sure they are fit for the General's table. Talk about "fat city".

I would want to be a carrier fleet Admiral only because I built the **** out of Essex class carriers in PTO2 and wrecked havoc from Panama to Tokyo Bay.  Best game made... period...

Yep great game, very easy AI mind you, but love the ability to R&D and make and design new ships, pity the later versions are all for the PS2.

Might fire it up now for a quick look again
