Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS) General Information
Building: 272, Benner Barracks The Fort Sam Houston BOSS Program was implemented in June 1994 with the primary intent to improve the quality of life for the single Soldier on the installation. Since its implementation, the BOSS Program has won many awards. At the 2007 Department of the Army Worldwide BOSS Forum, the Fort Sam Houston BOSS Program won “Best Installation in the Army” for the small category and the Silver Award for the President’s Volunteer Service Award category. In August of 2008, this program won that distinction again for the second consecutive year. The program has won over $30,000 in award money that is used to further the goal of the program: To improve the life of the single Soldier. The single Soldiers on the BOSS Program Committee know that their program exists on the installation as the United Voice of the Single Soldiers and that someone is listening.
