00:04.970 --> 00:07.520
Welcome and congratulations
on your assignment to the

00:07.520 --> 00:11.440
Joint Multinational Readiness
Center in Hohenfels, Germany.

00:11.440 --> 00:13.750
In this series of short
videos we'll show you

00:13.750 --> 00:16.610
what you can expect while stationed here.

00:16.610 --> 00:19.320
In this video we'll be covering housing.

00:19.320 --> 00:23.480
Before arriving, make sure you
check out housing.army.mil/

00:23.480 --> 00:25.700
You can find all the information you need

00:25.700 --> 00:27.490
in the description below.

00:27.490 --> 00:29.450
Your eligibility date for housing

00:29.450 --> 00:30.960
is the day you signed out on leave

00:30.960 --> 00:32.810
however there are a few exceptions,

00:32.810 --> 00:35.860
if you were TDY en route,
on an unaccompanied tour

00:35.860 --> 00:38.130
or going from Oconus to Oconus.

00:38.130 --> 00:40.800
Because housing is limited
in the immediate area,

00:40.800 --> 00:43.010
you will want to sign
up on the waiting list

00:43.010 --> 00:44.460
as soon as you arrive.

00:44.460 --> 00:46.790
Although the goal is
to have families housed

00:46.790 --> 00:49.310
in adequate housing within 30 days.

00:49.310 --> 00:52.540
Wait times can vary based on
the amount of bedrooms needed,

00:52.540 --> 00:54.971
rank, and if you are bringing pets.

00:54.971 --> 00:59.370
The USAG Hohenfels policy
on pets is limited to two:

00:59.370 --> 01:03.050
Two dogs, two cats or a cat and a dog.

01:03.050 --> 01:05.620
Be prepared to stay in
army lodging or a hotel

01:05.620 --> 01:07.090
for up to 60 days.

01:07.090 --> 01:09.970
Keep this in mind when planning
your unaccompanied baggage.

01:09.970 --> 01:13.260
If you are living in a hotel
for an extended period of time,

01:13.260 --> 01:16.160
or have sent over a large
amount of unaccompanied baggage,

01:16.160 --> 01:17.570
you may have inadvertently made

01:17.570 --> 01:19.530
your living space overcrowded.

01:19.530 --> 01:21.560
For more information check out our video

01:21.560 --> 01:23.270
on arrival and hotels.

01:23.270 --> 01:26.240
Hohenfels has over 1200 housing units

01:26.240 --> 01:28.650
available for service
members, GS employees

01:28.650 --> 01:30.880
and families with four types of housing:

01:30.880 --> 01:34.250
unaccompanied bachelor officer
and senior enlisted quarters,

01:34.250 --> 01:36.790
single soldier quarters for E6 and below,

01:36.790 --> 01:40.310
Government on and leased
housing and private rentals.

01:40.310 --> 01:42.890
For additional information
check out our other video

01:42.890 --> 01:44.020
on the different types.

01:44.020 --> 01:46.990
Government leased housing off
post and privatized housing

01:46.990 --> 01:49.710
are equipped with 220 outlets only,

01:49.710 --> 01:52.620
although newer technology
is typically dual voltage,

01:52.620 --> 01:55.080
getting a transformer
is still recommended.

01:55.080 --> 01:58.440
You can purchase a transformer
at your local AAFES exchange,

01:58.440 --> 02:01.500
the Hohenfels Surf Shop
or on the local economy.

02:01.500 --> 02:03.950
There is no need to bring
personal appliances,

02:03.950 --> 02:06.860
all service members and
GS employees are allocated

02:06.860 --> 02:09.180
a washing machine, dishwasher, dryer,

02:09.180 --> 02:11.370
refrigerator, and range stove.

02:11.370 --> 02:14.080
Furniture is also available
which might come in handy

02:14.080 --> 02:16.830
while waiting for your
household goods to arrive.

02:16.830 --> 02:21.050
