As a government contractor in the CONUS, I never attempted to use a government dining facility, but that was 1991 through 2007. Things might have changed. Overseas, I did eat at dining facilities when my orders authorized. That was apparently the key, authorization on orders. Not sure if <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="1263495" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/1263495-sp5-peter-keane">SP5 Peter Keane</a> answer is correct, but it might be worth try. I still don't see the need to eat at a DFAC unless you are working unusual hours at a remote location where normal "downtown" feeding facilities are not available. If you're staying in government quarters, I can see why a DFAC might be convenient sometimes.Response by Lt Col Jim Coe made Nov 10 at 2019 2:46 PM2019-11-10T14:46:39-05:002019-11-10T14:46:39-05:00SGM Steve Wettstein5222263<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes you can eat at a dining facility.

One was on the verge of being really upset about my female guest not having a Dependent’s Card. <br /><br />There were several male contractors or base civil service employees eating there!
