I volunteered for this position and work these responsibilities around my primary job. People from all over (AF, Army, Navy, Marines, other countries' military, etc.) use the chapel for our services, spiritual growth, or to relax. Our living conditions range from tents to trailers to dorms. Those living in tents and trailers have to walk to the nearest restroom/shower. Those living in the dorms have a restroom/shower between two rooms. About half of the base personnel have roommates. Our microwaves and refrigerators run off 220 electricity. Not all the rooms have microwaves/refrigerators, but the majority of offices have them. We have three eating places available, with one of them being 24/7. Non-perishable food items are always handy when personnel can't get away. Those living in the tents and trailers have access to a laundry service, while those living in the dorms have access to washers and dryers. Laundry soap, dryer sheets, paper towels, and toilet paper are sometimes in short supply to those living in the dorms. Other items in short supply are personal hygiene, pens, stationary, feminine hygiene, snacks, coffee, razors, etc. Some personnel don't get much mail. Letters from home are always appreciated and can help make the days go by. It's amazing to see faces brighten when they get a letter from home. It helps us all know we aren't alone over here.” This information was included in a recent posting on “Any Soldier.
