BOSS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

  1. Who can participate in BOSS events? 
    Any single or unaccompanied Service Member. The single or unaccompanied Service Member category includes single Service Members, Unaccompanied Soldiers, and Single Parents. 
  2. How can I sign up for an event?
    Registration instructions are always listed at the bottom of the BOSS event advertisements. Contact your unit BOSS Representative or the BOSS President at the Fort Huachuca BOSS office for additional registration guidance. 
  3. How can I sign up to volunteer? 
    We recommend you register directly with Army OneSource’s Volunteer Management Information System (VMIS), the Army’s volunteer hour tracking system managed through Army Community Service (ACS). By registering with VMIS, volunteers are able to manage their own volunteer hours and approved hours will be recognized throughout your Army career as officially completed hours. Contact ACS, your unit BOSS representative or the BOSS President at the Fort Huachuca BOSS office for a VMIS registration instruction packet. 
  4. How can I become a BOSS representative? 
    BOSS representatives are the voice of the single service member. BOSS reps are expected to attend meetings, volunteer at least once a month, and be dedicated to the BOSS mission of representing single Service Members. To become a BOSS representative, interested candidates must complete a Representative Appointment Memo and have it signed by their Commander. Contact the Fort Huachuca BOSS President to request the BOSS Representative Appointment Memo. Please know that all are welcome to attend BOSS meetings and functions even if they are not an official BOSS Rep. 
  5. Can I get credit for my BOSS volunteer service? 
    Yes, you can! Logged and approved volunteer hours will be recognized throughout your military career as officially completed hours. Approved hours can also count towards your Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal (MOVSM), President Volunteer Service Award or a Certificate of Appreciation. 
  6. Who can attend BOSS meetings? 
    Anyone who wishes to attend a BOSS meeting is always welcome. 
  7. How can I find out who is the BOSS program manager at my installation? 
    Contact your local BOSS office, MWR website, speak with your unit BOSS reps, ask leadership for information or go to the top of this page, locate the "Email Us" button and submit an inquiry requesting your current installation's POC. 
  8. What kind of activities and events are offered through BOSS? 
    BOSS has many events ranging from Recreation and Leisure, Community Service as well as Life skills activities. These events change on a monthly basis so you will need to get involved with BOSS to get an updated listing of events. 
  9. How do I become a part of BOSS?
    Contact BOSS by reaching out to your unit BOSS Representative or the Fort Huachuca BOSS President. BOSS contact info can also be found on your units BOSS Board.
