The Vietnam era Army were termed Mess Halls. Army also recognizes the term DFAC or Dining Facility. The Air Force terms them as Dining Facilities or DFAC. In Coast Guard and Navy the term is Galley. There were a few other names for the old C-Rations and MRE's

When I was in, it was the mess hall on a chow line. Sometimes it was the chow hall, depending upon where you was. I cannot say for basic, but it was good nonetheless.
