The Green Bean

I just wanted to give a shout out to the Green Bean. For anyone that doesn't know, it's like a Starbucks for the military. They pretty much have every coffee drink that you would want, except maybe for the more exotic stuff. In Manas, Kyrgyzstan, they even had wireless internet. Green Beans seem to be in more locations than they were since my last deployment. On Camp Stryker Iraq, they just built one like three quarters into my deployment there. Now they have them on small FOBs, like the one I'm at now.

  1. Nice! Are cups of coffee about three dollars like starbucks here? Btw, do you have regular internet access now? If you do, we should set up that skype thing.

  2. I do have internet access, but we're still in transition. Once I get to my final FOB, we should have it in the rooms and I can do skype. Right now it's pretty slow and the computer lab is really crowded and you can only use it for 30 min. Ya the coffee is about three bucks.
