	Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The NAAFI (Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes) (pronounced /ˈnæfiː/) is a non-profit retaining organisation created by the British government in 1921 to run recreational establishments needed by the Armed Forces, and to sell goods to servicemen and their families.
		Commissioned officers are not usually supposed to use the NAAFI clubs and bars, since their messes provide these facilities and their entry, except on official business, is considered to be an intrusion into junior ranks' private lives.
		EFI personnel are members of the Territorial Army serving on special engagements, bear ranks and wear uniform.
