U.S. Marine Cpl. Exxon Suarez, a 21-year-old food service specialist with Headquarters and Service Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment and native of Portland, Ore., grills Salisbury steaks in preparation for dinner in the dining facility, or ‘chow hall,’ here, Dec. 15. Suarez is part of a five-Marine team of cooks that prepares and serves three meals to approximately 500 hungry troops and civilian contractors here every day. “The best part of our job is making good food for our guys instead of only serving [unitized group rations] and meals, ready-to-eat,” Suarez said. “A lot of people come in and say ‘chow’ is the best part of their day.”
