Canadian Coast Guard

Unfortunately, for the typical Coast Guard trainee, pay grades E-4 and E-5, the cost of a typical DFAC a-la-carte meal is very significant even compared to other individuals attending other training where commercial per diem is authorized. For instance, at a normal Coast Guard installation, IAW Ref (c), the galley offers various items for a set price of $2.55 for breakfast and $4.65 for lunch and dinner respectfully. In comparison, a DFAC offers meals from a menu where each item is marked up 133 percent of the cost of food IAW Ref (c). For example of the markup, IAW Ref (d), a simple breakfast consisting of an egg and cheese croissant, two slices of bacon, banana, and juice bottle costs $6.10; a simple lunch consisting of a slice of pizza, chef salad, fruit cup and a soda costs $9.35; a simple dinner consisting of meat lasagna, chef salad, garlic toast, fruit cup and a soda costs, $12.00. The final total daily set price for a Coast Guard galley is $11.85, compared to $27.95 for the described meal at a DFAC. Additionally, if BAS is combined with GMR per diem (which averages around $12.30 a day) is thrown into the equation for a member’s daily subsistence while TDY, the difference is $ 1.80 to the government, not the individual…

many ways, The Great War had faded for Jake. He’d learned to quiet his haunting memories during the day, but sleep often eluded him. Everything he wanted to forget revisited him at night, and the confined space easily transported him to the muddy trenches of France. Jake wrapped a blanket around his shoulders and settled in on his deck, watching the western sky transition into the deep velvet night. His old infantry habits surfaced as he scanned the waterfront for movement. He knew that…
