The Air Force operates appropriated fund (APF) enlisted dining facilities in order to provide the subsistence entitlement to enlisted members who reside in dormitories, to provide a training environment for food service personnel to meet our war-fighting mission, and to provide flight meal service in support of daily operations. Generally, use of dining facilities is restricted to enlisted members and those individuals authorized by the installation commander to meet mission requirements.
 
The Portuguese civilian employees of the U.S. Air Force who do not receive the monetary entitlement are authorized a meal in accordance with Article 14 of the Portuguese-United States Work Regulation of 1995.

Refer to Air Force Instruction (AFI) 34-239, Feb 2004, attachments three and nine for more information.

 Statistics
Last Fiscal Year we served approximately 150,000 customers with over half a million dollars in sales or about $3.34 per customer. All but the proportional charge, formerly known as surcharge, money goes back to the Essential Station Messing (ESM), formerly known as Subsistence-in-Kind (SIK), Centrally Managed Allotment (CMA) account (OPR: SAF/FMBOP). At least half of the proportional money generated is deposited into the Wing Operations and Maintenance (O&M) account.
