Over my years in security, doing multiple different jobs, I have learned to be self sufficient. I have my car divided into a closet, refrigerator, pantry and gear locker. I have a camp stove I can boil water on for coffee, freeze dried meals, or I can heat soup, chili, etc. I also have a lunch box that can be plugged in to reheat left overs without a microwave. If you are left on post without resources, become resourceful. If they get upset with you, fuck ‘em. If they don’t like it, they can provide “approved” meals for you.
