Air Force Foodservice Overhaul Moves Forward

摘要

Foodservice operations at five U.S. Air Force bases are getting a new look this year as the Air Force Food Transformation Initiative (FTI) moves into its second phase. The program is designed to provide airmen greater variety, availability and quality of food. Eglin Air Force Base, in Florida; Ellsworth AFB, in South Dakota; F.E. Warren AFB, in Wyoming; Beale AFB, in California; and Vandenberg AFB, in California were the bases chosen for this stage. Dining facilities at the five bases will be converted from institutional-style feeding platforms to the scatter or station system of dining found on college campuses. "[Campus-style dining] provides airmen the option to use their meal card entitlement at more convenient locations to where they work or reside," says Fred McKenney, chief of Air Force Food and Beverage.
