When your Appetite is more than your Allotment
There HAS to be a better way!
Dateline: Monday March 14, 2011 (Day 1210)
Location: With USARPAC at Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, Hawaii
Reporter: FFC Chucky Norris, US Army Rangers
DO YOU want to become a WAR MACHINE?
Well, it could happen faster than you think. For those of you who are having a hard time finding enough chow to fight 30 times a day, here are a few tips to help you get to that point. Once done, you too shall be able to tear down enemies in merciless combat for your country.
Invest in Yourself TODAY!
How do the self funded Super Tanks do it?!
How are you going to get there, yourself?
Simple, you need to invest in Companies to achieve it. The best way is to start is with two Grain Companies and one Food company. Preferably a Q2 Food Company, but a Q1 will do the job, and you can always upgrade later if you save your Super Soldier rewards.
Every player starts with 3 slots available, they're still available if you haven't done anything with them yet. The best way to go about it is to acquire a Grain Company first, sell your stock on the market and recycle the profit into another purchasing another Grain Company.
Once you have enough profits from those, go for a Food Company. All you need for this is 10 to 30 Gold, depending on the food quality you want to eat. Now you'll be working for yourself in both Grain Companies, producing the Grain to sell to your own Food Company, and producing free Food for yourself.
Remember, working for your own Company does use 10 Wellness points, so there is some suffering involved. But when you get that Food Company going, you'll produce more Food than you need for Wellness recovery from working. Of course it's great if you have the funds to drop, to just start off with all three Companies right off, but you can work your way up from scratch if you're careful with your assets.
And don't forget that while doing this, you will be able to work at another player company (or your Military Commune) as well.
With this done you will be able to move closer to that goal of becoming a War Machine!
But not quite yet. What's the final component in this recipe for success?
For the best basic daily chow there is...
The US Army, of course!
Side by side, they mash potatoes-- like real men!
1/4 Platoon CO 1Lt. OldSchoolJohnny: "What did I do to get here?!"
Army Ranger Sgt. NXNW: A good General never goes out without his mobile kitchen!
A well deserved meal!

Ooooh, you SEXY man!
With the military getting an astronomical amount of weekly money and other factors, there is no excuse for you guys to not be getting enough rations... from my perspective, in Congress, where the funding is coming from; you should be living high off the hog. Is this widespread throughout much of the military? I want to know, in order to help remedy this, please be in touch.
Voted. Some more food = more damage and more ranking up
Animis, I'm sure not familiar with the specifics of Army Supply, but I'm pretty sure between the allotment from Congress and the Army commune system, we produce enough for a decent daily ration, and back stock for particularly heavy needs days like yesterday's Hawaii campaign.
Having served as Army Quartermaster General in the Old Army, I can assure you that the US Military does adapt to the ever-changing tides of our Congressional Budget line.

Thanks for the advice, I bought a Company 🙂

sent the text and thanks for the advice
@Animis: When I was CO of the Army the budget covered 3/7 of the daily operating costs for the organization. The other 4/7 was covered by commune production and donations. I have shared that fact with many members of congress.
Go Army !
