WHAT IS BOSS

• The Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers
  (BOSS) Program supports the overall quality of
  single soldiers' lives. BOSS identifies real
  soldier well being issues and concerns by
  recommending improvements through the chain of
  command. BOSS encourages and assists single
  soldiers in identifying and planning for
  recreational and leisure activities.
  Additionally, it gives single soldiers the
  opportunity to participate in and contribute to
  their respective communities

HISTORY OF BOSS

• The BOSS program was established in 1989 to
  respond to the recreational needs of single
  soldiers, who make up 35 of the Army. As the
  program was implemented throughout the Army, it
  became evident that well being was the primary
  concern of single soldiers.
• In 1991, the Chief of Staff of the Army
  officially expanded BOSS to include all aspects
  of soldiers' lives. BOSS members later began to
  express an interest in participating in community
  service projects. Recreation and leisure, well
  being, and community service are the core
  components or the three pillars of the BOSS
  program.
