Answer: Not officially. 2 Brigade is getting ready to conduct their
re-organization; Division TAC is deploying in about two weeks; HQs may deploy
before Christmas, depending on what happens in Afghanistan.

6 Oct 14 - VERA / VSIP
Question: Will there be another round of VERA/VSIP?
Answer: Yes. CPAC will send
interest letters to employees in over-hire series not later than 31 Oct
14. Those employees who are offered
VERA/VSIP will need to be off the roles by 31 Mar 15. Normal attrition and
VERA/VSIP are the main ways to voluntarily reduce the workforce. If the budget is not fixed next year and
sequestration kicks in, in FY16 then we may drop to 775 civilians by FY17. We currently have over 100 over-hires and
approx. 138 vacancies. Grade and series
mis-matches are the reason for so many over-hires. When the TDA changes from up above, it takes
time to re-shape the workforce.
6 Oct 14 - Additional Taskings
Question: IMCOM related taskings: It is very hard for
the small directorates to complete (ARIMS, MICP, IMO, etc). It would be great if we could designate one
person to do these tasks for the small
directorates.
Answer: There might be some
efficiencies to be had there. I think
that everyone has the same issue though.
Everyone is downsizing, but not the tasks and unfortunately it will get
worse.
6 Oct 14 - Parking lot around Bldg 624
Question: The parking lot around Bldg 624 is being used
as a thoroughfare. It is very dangerous
driving through the parking lot with so many people speeding.
Answer: Parking lots will
always be a primary concern for me and the DES.
Parking lots continue to be the top location for accidents across the
installation and we ask that everyone pays close attention, slows down, and
maintains awareness for motorists and pedestrians.
6 Oct 14 - Dress Code
Question: Dress Policy:
Is the dress code enforced? Who
enforces it?
Answer: Yes the dress code
policy is in effect. It is the Garrison
Policy Letter #13 (Standards of Dress).
The directorates, facility managers, senior leaders all enforce the
policy. The CG has pushed loud noise,
profanity, and the dress code. The dress
code is an everyday problem. I have
spoken with the AAFES and DECA managers about it. If you see something, don’t say anything to
the person, go to the manager and they will address the issue.
6 Oct 14 - Organizational Days
Question: Organization Days: Are there stipulations to how long they are?
Answer: No there are not
stipulations to the length of time whether they are four hours or eight
hours. ACS just had theirs and it was an
all-day event. They incorporated
resiliency events into theirs.
