I got a few things.
Coming into Charleston there was a HUGE storm. I did get caught in it but only at the hotel. We were supposed to be in dorms so no one went with me. Drat it! Oh well. It was interesting training. MORE interesting to meet agents. It was at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. FLETC
Aloft airport was an OK hotel
Droning in and around the facility was fun. Lots of naval and coast guard folks there. No pictures of the chow hall we were authorized to eat at for ALL meals.
They had two lines of food. Breakfast sort of duplicated on both sides but as you walked into the lines there was an omelet bar option so I got omelets two mornings. One was even an egg white one :). Lunch had hot foods (menu items) to the right and deli type food to the left with sometimes a Hamburger bar to the center. Not horrible food and good if you’re in the dorms without a car as most were.
I equate it to typical ship food BUT most haven’t had that. Think better flavor cafeteria foods from your childhood - possibly like a southern buffet with fewer options and lunch ladies to dish out the food. But do NOT ask for white meat when it’s chicken day. Hahaha. I got a crusty look for asking for white meat. LOL. I do t have to see her again so gimme what I will eat, thanks.
Eating all meals there Didn’t happen as we were at a hotel and going BACK for dinner just didn’t work for us. So we went out an every night!!
Flounder, pimento cheese grits, fried okra @ https://www.pagesokragrill.com/
Nope. Hated it. Hahaha! I’m NOT a fish person so for me to order fish while out is unusual but fried you can’t go wrong.

Oysters Rockefeller (cooked with Parmesan cheese and a bit of lemon). Yes I ordered and ate most of this. Worth it! Butch got Me started on these in Florida. Honestly I liked these better as they were smaller ;)
What? FISH again? Yep. Trigger fish with crispy brussel sprouts and asparagus
And key lime pie for dessert. It was quite tart!
Better photo of Cape decision)
Just a fun view while walking to breakfast!
Closer and better Even. Apparently I liked this ship!!

Cool cats? Also had ice cream on the way to the shuttle pickup
And as I was driving outta town there was a hitch hiker I had to get out and make sure he made it OFF the car and onto the ground. Fun times!
