Squadron Mess At Caribbean Air Base

SQUADRON MESS AT A CARIBBEAN AIR BASE. (L TO R) Corporal Angelo Licata, Brooklyn, N.Y.; Staff Sergeant William N. Simpson, Charleston, Texas (near Paris, Texas); Technical Sergeant Louis Boggs, McComb, Mississippi; Sergeant Gerald G. Stokes, Tampa, Fla.; Sergeant George W. Marshall, W. A. Akins, Wajahachie, Texas (near Dallas). The highest degree of care is employed in preparing and serving the soldier's traditional "three squares" a day. Ample foodstuffs, containing the proper balance of necessary vitamins, are cooked in modern, well-equipped kitchens and served in clean, well-ventilated mess halls. Frequent inspections are made to ensure the maintenance of food and equipment at high standards. Members of the squadron in the above photograph are shown congratulating Technical Sergeant Boggs, their mess officer, upon the quality of their Christmas dinner.
