Back in my day, your pay was auto deducted every 2~4 weeks to pay for the dining facilities. This was pulled out, even if you didn't eat at the dining facilities. There was/is paperwork to get reimbursed if you are unable to get to a dining facility when in garrison (and not training out in the field) but most of us never bothered with it. I think when doing training/deployments and being fed, the dining facility deduction was stopped but I can't remember with any certainty.
They typically just shifted which entity received the money instead.
