"Another aspect of team to focus on is taking care of each other. A great way to look out for each other, and reinforce your place in the team, is to complete the annual Overseas Housing Allowance Utility/Recurring Maintenance Survey," Col. Brian Kelly said. "This survey is all about the allotments we receive when we live off base, and is central to future OHA rates, among other entitlements. This is about putting money in your pockets and improving your quality of life. Fill out the survey to have a say in how your OHA is determined." It is recommended respondents take the survey with their spouses. To complete the online survey, service members will be asked for the last four digits of their social security numbers. Respondents should have actual bills or records of their utility expenses and maintenance expenses for the last twelve months.

Sean O'Keefe at 268-2839 with any questions.
