I was eating at the Ft Leavenworth DFAC run by civilians. I was thinking about taking a snack back to my office, when the old rule of "don't take food out of the chow hall" popped into my head. So am curious if that rule is still in effect? Is is specific to military run vs civilian run? Is it for certain foods? Is it in a reg somewhere? --- hungry for answers

Well Sir, Since you are not in BCT im sure you can get away with taking a snack out of the dfac. It is mostly done to keep pest out of the barracks. To go plates are the thing now at the dfac.

"Don't let me catch you taking that fatty cake out of the chow hall private".......

Just wanted to add, Colonel, that in my very early USCG days, we ate at the Fort Leavenworth Mess Hall. Absolutely, some great chow. Your posting caused a nostalgia mind trip!!!

At least on Ft Gordon, you can get a go-to box... You don't get as much, but you can take it out.

As far as hoarding like yogurt or something, I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate it
