AS INFANTRYMEN stationed in the Panama Canal Zone, we'd often complain that the enlisted men's barracks didn't have refrigerators. After one particularly hot day of maneuvers in the tropical sun, I returned to find out that I'd received orders for transfer to Fort Wainwright in Alaska. My buddies teased me, saying that when I got to Alaska I would find out what the Army did with all their refrigerators.

I arrived at Fort Wainwright at the end of December. Sure enough, each enlisted man's room had an Army-issued refrigerator.

First issue Frig I saw was on Okinawa in 87-88. We were living in cubed out squadbays and each two man cube got a little dorm style frig.

Catch was the 1st Sgt decreed they may only be plugged in between the hours of 1700 and 2230. Kinda defeated the purpose.
