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&#39;t see the need to eat at a DFAC unless you are working unusual hours at a remote location where normal &quot;downtown&quot; feeding facilities are not available. If you&#39;re staying in government quarters, I can see why a DFAC might be convenient sometimes.

You just have to pay more for the meal.

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! USAF personnel do not dress as those guys were.
