FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash.- --  The Warrior Dining Facility closes for heating, ventilation and air conditioning renovations Nov. 15 at 1 a.m.

Meal card holders are scheduled to receive their full amount of basic allowance for subsistence effective Nov. 15 and should see it on their Dec. 1 paychecks.

"We have a plan in place and are working with the 92nd Force Support Squadron to ensure a smooth transition during this time," said 2nd Lt. Robert Tyson, 92nd Comptroller Squadron financial services officer. "Airmen that have received their Air Force Form 220, Request, Authorization, and Pay Order Basic Allowance for Subsistence, should send those back to their First Sergeants as soon as possible to make certain they will see their full amount of BAS, not including meal deductions, on Dec. 1."

The renovations are necessary at the DFAC to ensure standards are met.

"These renovations are important because keeping our facilities up to date and up to standards is of the upmost importance," said Senior Master Sgt. Jason Meist, 92nd FSS sustainment services flight superintendent. "We want members to know there are still other options available for meals while the Warrior DFAC is closed."

The Ross Dining Facility at the Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape School will be open during this time. They are open for breakfast from 5:30 to 8 a.m., lunch, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and dinner from 4 to 7 p.m.

While the Warrior DFAC is closed, there are many other options around base for members to have access to meals, such as the Tin Pin Café, located in the Funspot.

Another option for meals is the Final Point, also located near the Survival School. They are open Thursday through Friday from 4:30 to 9 p.m., and Saturday through Wednesday, from 4:30 to 10 p.m.

The Triple F, located in building 2065, will serve hot mid-shift meals from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. and a "grab-n-go" menu and flight meals available 24/7.

The Warrior DFAC is expected to reopen by May 2015. For more information, contact Tech. Sgt. Amy Flores at (509) 247-5349 or Senior Master Sgt. Jason Miest at (509) 247-5635.
