Col. John Pearse and guests at the official opening of the D-Pad Dining Facility cut the ribbon Oct. 10, 2012, on Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea. Airmen and servicemembers who work on the flightline can now enjoy convenient meals closer to their job sites without having to walk to the central dining facility on base. The Air Force will save more than $200,000 in basic allowance for subsistence and dissuade Airmen from turning to fast food for their meal options, keeping them fit to fight.
