Are you a Single Soldier or an Unaccompanied Soldier who has recently PCS’d to Fort Polk?

Be sure to check out Fort Polk BOSS for amazing resources and fun upcoming events. BOSS also provides single Soldiers with plenty of opportunities to volunteer and serve their communities.

The mission of the BOSS program is to enhance the morale and welfare of single Soldiers, increase retention and sustain combat readiness. BOSS is the collective voice of single Soldiers through the chain of command, which serves as a tool for commanders to gauge the morale of single Soldiers regarding quality of life issues.
The BOSS program is facilitated through its three core components aimed at maintaining a balanced life: leisure and recreation, community service and quality of life.

Every Tuesday and Thursday the BOSS Program hosts a Study Board to better prepare the Soldiers for the Board. Single AND Married soldiers are free to attend!

For more information about BOSS, please call 337-531-1948.
