Armed Forces Recreation Centers
The military operates four Armed Forces Recreation Center resorts at popular vacation spots. AFRC room rates vary and are based on a sliding scale that favors junior enlisted members.
For example, service members in paygrades E-1 to E-5 pay as little as $80 a night for a room at Shades of Green at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
Other AFRCs include the Hale Koa in Honolulu, the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort in Garmisch, Germany, and the Dragon Hill Lodge in Seoul, South Korea.
Reservations can be made directly with the AFRCs, as well as online. Discounts are available for service members on rest and recuperation leave from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
The Army operates all of the AFRCs, but the facilities are open to all branches of service.
Contact: AFRC resorts (MWR Web site), http://www.armymwr.com. The site provides detailed reservation information, including phone numbers.
The Navy runs a similar resort-like facility in Tokyo, the New Sanno Hotel. For reservations, call (03) 3440-7871 or DSN 229-7121; e-mail room_rsv@thenewsanno.com; or go to http://www.thenewsanno.com.
