Officials say commissaries will be open through Thanksgiving, but many stateside stores could close soon after due to the government shutdown.

    This will be extremely difficult on troops depending on the base. If you live on base and that base is remote then gas is going to add a bunch to cost. Then you also have to factor in refrigerated/frozen items then it becomes a large hurdle.

      Commissaries aren’t troops sole source of food. They’ll just go off-base and slum it with their fellow Americans or have to acknowledge their host cultures overseas.

      Not getting paid is a much more serious issue.

        Commissary groceries are subsidized, it’s going to have a pretty big impact. Not only will they have to go off-base, it’ll be a lot more expensive.

        Coupled with the not getting paid part…lmao
