What should an individual do if they are unable to pay for a meal?

An individual who is unable to pay for a meal should sign AF Form 79 to verify the receipt of the meal without charge. This form is specifically designed for situations where a service member cannot afford a meal, allowing them to receive food without financial transaction at that moment. The process is meant to ensure that no service member goes hungry while maintaining the integrity of accounting for meals provided.

The use of AF Form 79 is a recognized procedure within Air Force protocols, providing a formal way to log the meal provided without charge, which helps in tracking and managing resources effectively. It ensures that individuals are still supported during difficult financial times while upholding the standard of care within the military community.
