The Gunfighters page has updates listed as to what is going on base wide thus far. I have attached the FSS flyer, however, they have updated their status on a few things for clarification. I will paste the information below. To my knowledge, the commissary will be closed starting tomorrow. The BX/shopette will remain open.
The Airman & Family Readiness Center will continue to provide
services in the following areas: Readiness for pre-deployment and Reintegration, Military Family Life Counseling, & Casualty Assistance. All other programs are unavailable until further notice. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Gunfighters! We have updates to the FSS closures due to the government shutdown. Please see below:
Education Center: Tuition Assistance
All Tuition Assistance requests approved for courses beginning on or after 1 Oct 2013 are contingent upon funding for fiscal year 2014. Due to the lack of an FY14 budget, all current... MilTA requests are suspended pending a budget resolution. Please be advised that you may incur a financial responsibility for your course(s) should there be no resolution or if the resolution is not retroactive to 1 Oct 13. Please be prepared to use other financial assistance. Please continue to check the AF Virtual Education Center (AFVEC) via the AF Portal for more information.
Education Center: Test Administration
All WAPS, PME, CDC, and other associated tests administered at the Education Center are currently on hold due to the shutdown. FSS/Education Center will provide updates next if absence of TCOs continues through next week.
Education Center: Classes/Course
Current evening classes held at Education Center will continue as normal.
A&FRC: Pre-Separation/TAPS Briefing
Pre-Separations and TAPS briefings are cancelled until further notice.
MPS:
Until further notice the MPS will not be able to distribute products produced by MilPDS (EPR/OPR Shells, Décor 6s, assignment RIPs, etc.) in addition to granting access to certain applications such as MilPDS, PRDA. For questions regarding MilPDS products, individuals can contact the applicable office within the MPS. For questions about access to personnel applications, they can contact MSgt Wright at 8-1973 or MSgt Huntley at 8-6382.

Col Sarady Tan, 366th Medical Group commander, provided the following statement regarding how the government shutdown will affect the MDG's operations.
"The 366 MDG will remain open during the government shutdown and the hours of operation will remain the same. Inpatient, acute and urgent outpatient care in our medical and dental facilities will continue, as will private sector care under TRICARE. While some delays can be expected, the impact on routine patient care and appointment availability should be minimal."

I will try to update as I am made aware of things. However, please feel free to check the Gunfighter's FB page for updates as we all endure this process together.
Thanks,
