DD reports many cadets eating the gobs of PB too. However, DD asked for crunchy and was asked if she was a communist? LOL. Apparently you are considered strange if you eat the crunchy PB. Other than that, echo much of what's in this thread that they are eating many MRE's (eating a cold, beef-stew MRE in a hum-vee for breakfast....yum) but get plenty of food if you learn to eat fast and not be as picky as you use to. BTW, DD is an NCAA athlete and is not at an all athlete table, albeit some revenue sports might be different, just providing one data point.
