	Naafi loses fight to feed Forces
		NAAFI, which has been feeding and entertaining the Armed Forces since 1921, yesterday lost a £400 million contract to supply food to the Ministry of Defence.
		About 2,000 jobs at Naafi - 40 per cent of the workforce - will be lost after the food contract was awarded to a private company.
		Naafi will continue to run bars, shops, canteens and leisure facilities at military bases in the United Kingdom and overseas.

		NAAFI and LAST had been working together for approximately 2 years when the involvement of VKS was requested by their sister company, LAST.
		NAAFI has expanded the services requested from this group dramatically in the past 8 months, and this has allowed them to decrease their own staff as well as external contractors.
		NAAFI is committed to high standards of corporate governance and compiles to the 2003 Combined Code on Corporate Governance (July 2003).

		Naafi went to court in May 2004 and later in July 2004, and eventually had his license restored, according to the DMV.

		This particular one was quite good as NAAFI’s go and in addition to the large room where soldiers could buy tea and cakes from a lady behind a hatch, which was designed to discourage relationships; there was a games room with a full size billiard table and ping-pong.
		The two soldiers stopped outside the NAAFI to talk and decided that the vehicles were quite safe unsupervised and a game of table tennis was much more appealing than walking around the camp in the cold weather.
		Finally they emerged from between the lorries to be told by the sergeant that they were observed playing table tennis in the NAAFI and disregarding their argument to the contrary, he placed them under arrest and threw them into the brig with all the other wayward souls.

		NAAFI's increased profits result from a combination of more competitive prices, a wider range of products and increased support for troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Balkans and other overseas bases.
		NAAFI has overcome many operational challenges to serve troops in Iraq and products are being supplied via seven countries using ten different routes, bearing in mind, that security is a paramount concern.
		NAAFI provides a vital service in support of our servicemen and women - over the past 12 months the troops in Iraq have consumed 50,000 ice creams, 135,000 litres of Coca Cola and the equivalent of 17km of Pringles stacked end to end.

		After the death of King Henry VIII, who was responsible for the nationalization of the NAAFI, his successor Edward VI paid very little attention to this most important establishment and apart from a few cooked accounts there is no real record of any outstanding part played by NAAFI in the history of the times.
		Elizabeth was rather fond of the odd visit to the NAAFI and it was when she was leaving a canteen one evening that Sir Walter Raleigh placed his cloak over a puddle in order to prevent her from getting her regal tootsies damp.
		One evening in particular, when a dozen or so musketeers had been celebrating their approaching demob (time expired actually), there was a bit of a brawl in one of the canteens culminating in one of the Guard being soaked in brandy and set alight.

		Many happy hours were spent in the Naafi, playing billiards followed by a supper of bangers and chips and writing hundreds of letters.
		As supper in the mess was invariably left-overs from dinner time it was often prefered to buy naafi fare of beans on toast or a few cakes.

		It had a nice bedspread of blue and white with a NAAFI crest on it.
		We occasionally went to the NAAFI Club on Bridlesmith Gate, Nottingham which was very nice.

	NAAFI - ARRSEpedia
		Male canteen managers tend to look as if they have been locked in a darkened room playing Dungeons and Dragons since they were four years old, and are usually well represented on the local Sex Offender's Register.
		Perhaps the most impressive thing about NAAFI is the way that they have made supposedly 'tax-free' high value consumer goods, sold in operational theatres, cost more than they do on the High Street back home.
		In its time the NAAFI was the centre of all Forces life providing refreshment, a place to chat and even get some cheap boot polish.

		On board the ship we were all allocated duties of some sort and very rarely did we have the opportunity to go on the deck to see some light.
		We were allowed in the evenings to visit the NAAFI for a cool beer - that is of if you weren't seasick.

		GREEK and Turkish Cypriot trade unions representing employees at the Navy Army Air Force Institution (NAAFI) store on the British bases at Episkopi have complained that staff are having their bags searched in front of clients.
		The unions said people’s bags were being emptied, with their personal items on show in front of customers, and called for an end to “this undignified treatment”, which they said was unacceptable.
		The unions also said the NAAFI was violating collective agreements by employing a foreigner as manager of the store instead of a Cypriot.
