The 2009 Air Force Assistance Fund, a program managed by Airmen that benefits Airmen, completed its five-week fund rais-ing campaign here May 1.

As part of the Air Force-wide program, members from each unit were asked to help raise funds for the effort through their re-spective units. The unit representatives then kept track of donations and filed their con-tribution forms with Master Sgt. Stephen Campbell, 50th Space Communications Squadron Plans and Resources Flight superintendent.

At the conclusion of the fund raising ef-fort, Schriever units combined to accumu-late $25,091.

The program supports four separate assis-tance organizations: The Air Force Enlisted Village Indigent Widows Fund, the Air Force Village Indigent Widows Fund, The Air Force Aid Society and the General and

WASHINGTON — Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton A. Schwartz and Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Rodney J. McKinley have announced the Airman selected to be the service’s next enlisted leader.

Chief Master Sergeant James A. Roy will become the 16th Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force during an appoint-ment ceremony on June 30, 2009, which will coincide with Chief McKinley’s retirement.

“This is a good day for all Airmen,” General Schwartz said. “While they will lose a tremendous leader and advocate in Chief McKinley, they gain a worthy successor in Chief Roy. Given his record and reputation, I am confident that Chief Roy will carry the best interests of our Air Force family forward to our nation’s leaders as we support today’s joint fight and rebalance our force for the challenges ahead.”

Chief Roy and his wife Paula will come to the Pentagon from Camp Smith, Hawaii, where the chief currently serves as the senior enlisted leader and advisor to the U.S. Pacific Command combatant commander, representing more than 200,000 Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors and Marines.

Chief Roy joined the Air Force in 1982. His career in-cludes assignments as a heavy equipment operator in the civil engineer career field and then in leadership positions at the squadron, group, and numbered air force levels. He has served as the command chief master sergeant at wings in Air Education and Training Command, Air Mobility Command and Air Combat Command. He was also de-ployed as the command chief master sergeant of the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing in Southwest Asia. Prior to assum-ing his current position he was the command chief master sergeant for U.S. Forces Japan and Fifth Air Force at Yokota Air Base, Japan.

Chief McKinley will retire next month after serving for 30 years. He has served as the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force since June 30, 2006.

“Chief McKinley has devoted his entire adult life to our Air Force and to taking care of Airmen and their fami-lies,” General Schwartz said. “He has accomplished so much throughout his career, but as Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, he and his wife Paula have made monumental contributions.”

Spring is here and the annual fitness challenge to the base by the 4th Space Operations Squadron is scheduled for May 21.

The fourth-annual 4-Fit Challenge is designed to test the overall fitness of each unit throughout the 50th Space Wing and tenant units through multiple strength and conditioning trials. Units form teams to compete in a variety of events with scores tallied to determine the fittest squadron.

Last year’s 4-Fit Challenge received a major facelift to improve scoring, add a variety of events and incorporate more impartial officiating. With more than 150 partici-pants, proving the event a success, only minor changes were made for this year’s event.

“4th SOPS is excited to be undefeated for three years and we look forward to defending that title,” said 1st Lt. Meagan Thrush, 4th SOPS lead Extremely High Frequency Constellation engineer and a coordinator for the event. “We know that we’re the team to beat. But, the main spirit of the event is to foster friendly competition and kick off the season of outdoor sports. It’s great to spend a day out of the Mods enjoying the sunshine!”

Many of the events remain the same. Slight improve-ments include incorporating a maximum team weight limit of 800 pounds for the Tug-O-War competition. A change also comes to the Ultimate Football competition. Units must submit teams at least three days prior to the event so brackets can be finalized.

This year’s events include:•��Men’s�and�women’s� individual�races:�100m,�400m,�1,600m and 5K•�Men’s�and�women’s�relays:�4X100m�and�4X400m•��Team�sit-ups:�Co-ed�team�of� four�doing�sit-ups� in�

Air Force policy and closing documents and are subject to change based on revised Air Force policy. In addition to these FAQs, please ensure to review the Tenant Lease Agreement and Tenant Handbook.

What will my rent amount be for priva-tized housing?

Rental rates are determined based on pay grade. The initial member’s rent will not exceed the Basic Allowance for Housing at the with-dependent rate for the desig-nated military pay grade. Example: BAH at�the�with-dependent�rate�is�$1,000;�rent�will be $1,000 which includes all utilities, grounds maintenance and renter’s insur-ance. However, once a member is responsible for utilities, the rent will be reduced by 110 percent of the actual utility consumption. Example: BAH at the with dependent rate is�$1,000;�the�utility�allowance�is�$100�and�rent will be $900. The member will retain $100 to pay utilities.

What utilities are included in the rent?

Initially all utilities, except for telephone and cable, will be included in the rent. Approximately one year after construc-tion (November 2011), the occupant will be responsible for their own utilities. Only water, garbage and sewer will continue to be included in the rent.

What utilities will I be responsible for?

Residents will always be responsible for telephone and cable. The residents will also be responsible for electricity and gas after the initial development period and mock billing.

My spouse and I are both military. I am a master sergeant and receive the with-de-pendent rate and my spouse collects single rate for a Technical Sgt. What would our rent be for privatized housing?

Rent is at the with-dependent rate of the senior ranking military member (master sergeant rate). Your spouse will continue to draw single rate. Again, rent will change once the resident pays his/her utilities.

How will I pay rent?Rent will be paid through an allotment

directly to the project owner. Tierra Vista Communities will prepare the necessary documents to have the allotment started/stopped. These documents will be accom-plished the same time as completing your lease. If the servicemember is not receiving their BAH entitlement, they are responsible for starting that entitlement. This can be accomplished by visiting the finance office at Schriever.

Will there be any upfront costs?Possibly. If the tenant has pets, there is

a non-refundable fee that will be required. Additionally, if the move into privatized housing occurs after the first of the month, rent for the remaining days in the month will be due upon move in. Example: You move into housing on the fifth of the month. You will be required to pay for those days left in that month. After that your allotment will kick in and your rent will be paid in arrears. Example: allotment paid in July for June’s rent.

What is the amount of the non-refund-able pet fee?

The current amount of the non-refundable pet fee is $200 per household.

Are there any restrictions on what type of pets I can have, or any dog breed restrictions?

Yes. The policy is to allow up to two pets (besides those in cages or aquariums), with the exception of puppies and kittens up to 8 weeks old. Types of pets that can be kept are: most breeds of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, domestic rabbits, white mice and white rats (from the USA), caged birds and fish in bowls or aquariums. Current restriction on breeds is: rottweiler, pit bull or mixed breeds of pit bull or rottweiler lineage.

What type of renter’s insurance is in-cluded in my rent?

Tierra Vista Communities provides a lim-ited renter’s insurance policy for each fam-

ily. There is a $250 deductible and coverage of personal property replacement is up to $20,000, with a liability coverage of $100,000 for resident and family members.

Will I sign a lease for privatized housing?

Yes, you will be required to sign a one-year lease. Thereafter you will be on a month-to-month rental agreement.

If I PCS to a new location which has a lower BAH and received approval to al-low my family to stay in privatized hous-ing for several months until the school season ends, how will my BAH allotment be handled? Will I have to pay the differ-ence in BAH amounts? What if I move to a higher BAH area, can I pocket the difference?

Military members need to consult their military pay office to determine their au-thorized BAH. Rent for privatized housing is based on the BAH for the area where the privatized housing is located. If the autho-rized BAH is lower than the rent for the privatized unit, the member pays the dif-ference. If the BAH is higher, the member retains the difference. This applies to a mem-ber who may go on a remote assignment for a year and the family stays behind in privatized housing.

If I am sent on a remote assignment for a year and my family stays behind in privatized housing, can I break my lease at any time for any reason?

Yes. However, if you are in a lease, there may be a penalty fee associated with termi-nation. Consult your lease agreement.

Is there a military release clause in the lease?

Yes, there is a military release clause for members who receive orders. However, there will still be a requirement to give the ap-propriate written notice to terminate.

What type of notice must I provide if I wish to move out of privatized housing for PCS purposes?

The appropriate notice will be explained in�your�lease;�however,�normally�the�require-ment is a 30-day written notice.

What happens if I don’t provide the ap-propriate notice to move out?

If you fail to give the appropriate notice you will be charged for additional rent days. Example: You give notice on the 15th of the month that you are moving out on the 30th of the month. You will be charged for an additional 15 days rent to complete your full 30-day notice to vacate.

What if I receive “short notice” PCS or-ders and I cannot provide a written 30-day notice to vacate?

If you receive “short notice” PCS orders and are unable to provide a sufficient 30-day notice to vacate, you will not be charged as long as the “short notice” PCS orders are valid. Tierra Vista Communities will require the servicemember to validate the “short notice” PCS orders with a letter from the servicemember’s chain of command. Example: Orders state to report no later than Sept. 30, 2009, and the orders were printed in September 2009 — the 30-day notice would be waived.

What if I want to move out of privatized housing to purchase a home?

Upon moving into privatized housing, you will be required to sign a one-year lease. If you elect to move out before the lease has expired, you may be charged an early ter-mination fee. You will need to consult your tenant lease agreement for any penalties. This applies whether you are purchasing or renting another home located in the local community.

Can I be evicted from privatized housing?

Yes, Tierra Vista Communities property management office may initiate eviction proceedings for failure to comply with the provisions of the tenant lease.

Will I be given a government move if I move into privatized housing?

The government will pay for one govern-ment move into privatized housing.

If I have too much furniture, will the government store my excess furniture?

Yes, however, there are restrictions on

what items can and can’t be stored. The housing manage-ment office can provide additional information.

Will I be given a government move if I move out of privatized housing after one year?

No. If you voluntarily move out of privatized housing, the move will be at your own expense.

Who do I call for maintenance?Tierra Vista Communities will have their own housing

maintenance. At the time of lease signing you will be given all the important phone numbers.

What is the normal turnaround time for a maintenance service call?

For routine maintenance, TVC has three working days to�respond;�for�urgent�work�orders,�TVC�will�have�eight�hours;�and�for�emergency�work�orders,�TVC�must�respond�within one hour.

Will I be able to schedule an appointment for main-tenance work?

Yes, you can schedule an appointment for any repair work. The appointment is done for a two-hour window. Example: Your appointment is for 10 a.m., the appointment time would be 10 a.m. to noon.

What type of cleaning requirements is in place when I get ready to move out of privatized housing?

Tierra Vista Communities’ handbook will outline the cleaning requirements that must be met in order to clear privatized housing. The current cleaning requirement is “broom swept.”

Will there be a self-help Store?Yes, TVC plans on having a self-help store. They will also

provide delivery service for some items. Because of safety and liability issues, TVC will provide a limited amount of items. A list of those items will be available at time of lease signing.

How many bedrooms will I be eligible for?Normally, you are assigned a home based on your family

size. However, at Schriever, there will be no two-bedroom homes�constructed;�therefore�you�will�be�assigned�a�home�with a minimum of three bedrooms. To qualify for four bedrooms, you will need to have at least three children.

I’ve heard about “renting up.” What does that mean?“Renting up” means if you qualify for a certain type of

home and you want to rent a larger home, you can request it, and if approved, pay rent that is above your BAH at the with-dependent rate. Example: You are a staff sergeant (junior NCO requirement) and you request to rent a senior master sergeant (senior NCO requirement) home. If there is no one on the SNCO waiting list, you could request and be approved to rent that home, but your rent would be equivalent to the senior master sergeant BAH at the with-dependent�rate;�thus�“renting�up.”

Will non-military families be allowed to live in priva-tized family housing?

The closing documents require the occupancy to remain at 95 percent or higher. If occupancy drops below 95 per-cent, Tierra Vista Communities can offer to a “waterfall list.” If this does occur, TVC must accomplish a credit check and criminal background check on all prospective tenants that are non military. Each tenant that is from the “waterfall” category signs a one-year lease and will generally be charged a “market rent.” These rents will not be lower or more favorable than the rent paid by a military tenant who signed a tenant lease agreement within the previous 30 days.

What is the “waterfall list?”There are seven categories in the “waterfall list.”1: Unaccompanied, single or other active duty members

of the uniformed services/families2: National Guard and reserve military members/

families3: Federal civil service employees4: Retired military members/families5: Retired federal civil service employees6: Department of Defense contractors, permanent em-

ployees (U.S. citizens)7: General publicI am a single Airman. Can I reside in privatized hous-

ing and what would I pay for rent?Yes, it is possible for single Airmen to reside in privatized

housing if occupancy drops below 95 percent and housing is being offered to Category 1 of the “waterfall list.” The rent that would be charged would be BAH with dependent for the type of home that is being rented. Example: Home is categorized as a junior NCO, the BAH at the with-dependent rate for the lowest rank for junior NCO (E-1) would be the rent for that particular house.

What if I have family or friends come to visit? How will I get them access to the installation?

A list of visitors can be provided to the 50th Security Forces Squadron and entry will be authorized. For larger social functions, the list of attendees can be provided and the list will be posted at the gates. If the visitor(s) are stay-ing for more than a day, temporary passes will be issued by 50th SFS. Passes can be obtained the day of the visit/

event or in advance of the function/visit.Will my yard be inspected?Yes,�yards�will�be�inspected;�however,�your�primary�area�

of responsibility will be the fenced in backyard, as the other areas outside of the fence will be maintained by TVC. Additionally, the backyard will have a sprinkler system to assist you in maintaining the yard. You will be responsible for ensuring toys, bicycles, trash cans, etc., are placed in the appropriate areas and not left out in the front yard, driveway and curbside.

I like to do yard work. Will I be allowed to do my entire yard?

Yes. If you want to maintain the front yard as well as the backyard, TVC will provide you with a sign that states, “This yard is proudly maintained by the resident.”

Will there be restrictions on what I can plant in my front or back yard?

Yes. Before you remove or plant any plants, you will be required to submit an Alteration’s Request Form to TVC to go under review for approval/denial by the community manager.

Can TVC enter my house at anytime?Generally no, unless there is an emergency situation.

Normally, property management will provide the appro-priate notice before entering your home. This will all be explained in your tenant handbook and during the lease signing.

I am in a key and essential position. Can I remain off base?

You will be required to submit a waiver request to the housing management office, which in turn will route the package up to the installation commander, who will ap-prove/disapprove your request.

Can I run a home business out of my house?Resident may, with written permission of management,

conduct a residential business in the home. Residents con-ducting a business (for example, child care) will be required to comply with and are subject to inspection for compliance with government standards. No door-to-door soliciting will be allowed, no advertising signs shall be posted in the home or otherwise on the premises and no interior or exterior structural modifications or additions shall be made to accommodate resident’s residential business. Full details are outlined in the lease agreement.

Can I do interior changes (i.e. painting/wallpapering) to my home, or put holes in the walls?

You can only do changes if you have requested and re-ceived approval from the property management office. As for holes/stickers, these are not authorized (inside or outside). Only small nail holes are authorized.

Can we use the community center for family gatherings?

Yes. More information can be obtained from TVC prior to scheduling your gathering. Additionally, TVC will hold functions for the entire community. TVC will advertise these functions in their monthly newsletter.

What is being planned for Schriever as far as shopping?

At this time, the shoppette will be enlarged and more food items will be introduced. Additionally, Army and Air Force Exchange Service plans on having a Subway next to Einstein Bros. Bagels.

What about doctor appointments? Will I have to go to Peterson or some other base?

The 21st Medical Group has stated that families living on SAFB can be seen by the doctor currently located at SAFB. If being seen elsewhere, the member will need to change to the SAFB doctor. At this time, the doctor can also see expectant mothers, as long as it is not a high-risk pregnancy.

With the homes not coming on line until September, can I register my children at Ellicott? What about transportation?

Ellicott has stated all children can be enrolled in the next school year. Transportation between SAFB and Ellicott will be provided until the homes are actually occupied. Additionally, the Airman and Family Readiness Center will provide a before and after school program.

What type of activities will be available for children/families?

Once construction is all complete, there will be several playgrounds, sports fields, indoor pool and a splash park available to all residents. Group activities will be sponsored/encouraged�by�the�residents;�as�well�as�TVC�has�an�excel-lent activity plan, where they are always doing resident activities. Additionally, the fitness center will be expanding their hours of operation.

What type of cable/internet service will be available in the home?

The system being installed in each home will be a sig-nificant upgrade from what many residents in the private sector have. Service will provide a much faster upload and download of data compared to Comcast and true digital signal for television service. Qwest/El Paso Telephone will be offering the bundle package which will include telephone, internet and Direct TV.

FLEP participants receive tuition, fees and book allowances from the Air Force while continuing to serve on active duty, thus receiving full pay, allowances and other benefits while attending law school.

The Excess Leave Program may also be able to help. ELP allows active duty officers to attend law school by using excess leave. The leave is not charged to the officer and does not have to be paid back. ELP participants also continue to accrue time for promotion and retirement and remain eligible to use the base exchange, commissary and medical services. Under this program, the officer is responsible for paying all educational costs and does not receive pay and allowances while attending law school.

Mrs. Curtis E. Lemay Foundation.“One feature of this program is that it al-

lows contributing Airmen to designate the particular fund or funds their donations go to,” Sergeant Campbell said. “A majority of people generally choose to contribute to the Air Force Aid Society.”

The Air Force Aid Society is the official charity of the Air Force. Qualified mem-bers are given interest-free loans or grants during personal and family emergencies. Aid can be given for such purposes as food, rent, utilities, essential car repair and cer-tain medical and dental care.

Emergency financial assistance is avail-able through AFAS sections located in the Airman and Family Readiness Center here at Schriever. Call the AFRC at 567-3920 for more information.

The Air Force Village Indigent Widows Funds provides widows or widowers of retired Air Force officers and enlisted per-sonnel with cost-effective living options. The villages are located near Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field near Fort Walton Beach, Fla.The General and Mrs. Curtis E. LeMay Foundation also provides support to widows of all retired Air Force personnel with financial assistance.

At Schriever, 19 separate units and 18 tenant units participated in the fund rais-ing effort.

Schriever met 76 percent of its $32,972 goal, raising in excess of $25,000.

“That’s a great number considering the economic situation our country is facing,” Sergeant Campbell said.

Air Force wide, the campaign generated more than $7 million in contributions dur-ing the fund raising effort.

Staff Sgt. Justin Sims managed dona-tions for the 50th Civil Engineer Squadron, which raised $410 for the AFAF.

“The AFAF helps our Airmen from the past, present and the future,” Sergeant Sims said. “Without contributions from everyone, there would not be any help for our servicemembers that have served and those that continue to serve. It’s crucial that we make a contribution, to this wonderful program because there may be a day that you find yourself in need of assistance and you might feel a little guilt if you never contributed. The 50th CES members have seen and know people that have used the assistance from one of the AFAF organiza-tions. We like to keep close to each other and that is how the AFAF helps us achieve that great feeling.”
