BOSS Components: |

|
|
|
|
Well Being: |
|
|
Well being for single service members deals primarily with those things
that the single service members can directly or indirectly influence to
enhance their morale, living environment, or personal growth and
development. Some of the issues addressed by BOSS councils include
dining facilities, education, fitness centers, soldiers' quarters,
medical and dental care, commissary, and Army Air Force Exchange
Service. Well being issues identified or raised during BOSS meetings are
directed to the appropriate command or staff agency for resolution and
resolved at the lowest level |

Recreation: |
|
|
Recreation and leisure activities may be planned solely by the BOSS
council or in conjunction with other MWR activities. Service members
assure the primary role in planning BOSS events. Events planned by BOSS
councils should meet the needs and desires of single service member on
the installations. BOSS councils have sponsored events such as service
member talent competitions, concerts, dances, and trips. BOSS may also
coordinate with installation commercial sponsorship personnel when
planning some major events. |

|
|
|
Community Service: |
|
|
BOSS councils often elect to
participate in community programs or projects which make a difference in
the lives of others, the community, and ultimately, themselves. BOSS
members have volunteered to take part in Big Brother/ Big Sister,
Special Olympics, and Habitat for Humanity. Some councils have developed
their own programs which include sending packages to deployed service
members and BOSS Against Drunk Drivers (BADD). This component is
voluntary in nature and must be in accordance with the installation
volunteer program. |
