407th EFSS saves big with DFAC consolidation
The 407th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron dining facility, known as Lil Murica, will permanently close its doors, Dec. 31, 2016, consolidating its menu options with the Huntley DFAC across the street.
The Lil Murica DFAC was originally erected as a temporary option to support surge operations for no more than six-12 months, but remained in place for a much longer period of time to accommodate renovations at the Huntley DFAC, said Chief Master Sgt. Clayton Lowry 407th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron superintendent.
Closing it will save the Air Force between $50,000 and $100,000 in contract costs per year and an estimated $20,000 in food waste costs.
