SHUTDOWN FOR COMMISSARIES Good afternoon, This is official notification that as of today, Congress is still working on a short-term spending bill to avoid a government shutdown that could begin 12:00 a.m. October 1, 2013 EST. Should there be no agreement, DeCA may be subject to a government shutdown. The Department of Defense has informed DeCA that commissaries overseas (including Guam and Puerto Rico) as well as Fort Irwin and Kodiak will remain operational in the event of a shutdown. In the event of the shutdown, all employees will report to work on Tuesday, October 1, 2013. In the event of a shutdown, stateside commissaries, including Alaska and Hawaii, will be open for a full business day on Oct. 1 to reduce the amount of perishables on-hand before beginning a systematic closure process to account for unsold products and secure facilities. As more information becomes available we will keep you updated. Karolyn Turcotte Human Resources DECA HQ, Ft.
