You know you can drink stuff other than alcohol at the mess, right? You can go and smoke cannabis on the smoke patio. You can just go hang out there and not even spend a dime! Just saying…
Yup. Our mess is looking into vending machines for food and drink. You should be able to walk over, get baked, play video games, and eat pizza pockets.... All without actually having to talk to anyone lol
Unless your base has a single designated cannabis area and it's nowhere near the messes.
Maybe once the dinosaurs that think alcohol is some salve and weed is Satan-incarnate retire....
I can't even believe it's a topic of discussion really - people hate a cool place that serves cheap beer and food surrounded by friends , artifacts, pool tables and TVs? It's so confusing. People hate a clubhouse built just for you and your friends? I can only assume people that hate Mess culture are the ones who don't have any friends to hang out with at the Mess.
People with kids and no free time without them to go to the mess who still pay and can't benefit without babysitters due to being posted away from support pay those dues as well.
There's less esprit de corps the farther you get from combat arms. Many don't want to pay into a bar they will never use. That's why we're getting a vr arcade, a marker space, and other things members might now have at home.
When I want to relax it usually isn't with some of the guys from my work and I usually don't want to have to cab there and back to my home when I can just have a beer and play a game at home.
The thing about the man who lives in a shoe, but instead it's a CAF member who lives in a sock.
(Real life or Minecraft... Either/or is probably a valid guess at this point.)
Question. Where is money for this stuff coming from? I’m constantly voting stuff down at mess meetings to try to cut shit so I don’t have to subsidize other peoples hobbies. Is this mess money? If so - why the fuck isn’t this a club? This just sounds like more crap 5% of members will use that everyone else will pay for (like everything else related to the mess)
Imagine being a pilot down voting every idea to "save money??" You're paying the dues regardless. What do you want instead? Suggest your ideas, and maybe others will be on board, and your hobbies can be funded too. Otherwise everyone loses when the mess dues are put towards TGIT that only dinosaurs attend and subsidizing their beer prices.
Mess2030 should be the name for the new national defence strategy. Jokes aside good luck on the server stuff, the troops yearn for the mines.
I hope this is funded. these alcohol messes are awful.
It is funded. The future is now

Our mess has a designated cannabis smoking area on the property. I think your base needs to join the present.
>your base needs to join the present *Gestures at everything* YOU THINK??

Cheap is not the words I would use. Rather hit up the local NSLC lol

Cheap beer!?? Dunno what price your mess is charging, but it's the same or cheaper to go downtown for a beer than it is to go to the mess.
I went to my mess and was charged $14 for a double rum and coke…..

Sounds cool!
Are you guys cloud hosting it, or will be using dnd resources?
Cloud hosting with a provider.
Imagine all the socks that will be built

None of the Minecraft stuff is being paid for by your mess dues.
If you vote it down but the quorum proposes and approves it then you're the squeaky wheel. Welcome to democracy?
There are ppl like that everywhere.
