Generally, a housing allowance and cost of living allowance are paid to a servicemember based on the servicemember’s permanent duty station (PDS). However, when a servicemember’s assignment to a PDS or the circumstances of that assignment requires the servicemember’s dependent to reside separately, the DOD FMR permits, under certain circumstances a Secretarial waiver authorizing an alternative housing allowance and/or cost of living allowance. In addition, a Secretarial waiver authorizing an alternative housing allowance is also permitted where the Secretary concerned determines that other circumstances may require a dependent to reside separately from the servicemember. The purpose of the waiver program is to temporarily stabilize the soldier’s dependents when circumstances require dependents to reside separately. The intent of the waiver program is to ease the transition of a pcs move to the new PDS in the continental united states (CONUS) or outside the continental united states (OCONUS). https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1116197 10.

Letter to the Force - Black History Month

By Army National Guard February 17, 2022

To the Soldiers, Airmen, and Families of the National Guard

Every February since 1976, our Nation celebrates the stories, journeys, triumphs, and achievements of African Americans during Black History Month. Black history is entwined with American history, and there is no shortage of African American heroes, visionaries, and leaders to study and admire. Looking to the past, we marvel at the courage of Sojourner Truth helping enslaved African Americans escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad. We are moved by the words of Langston Hughes and the songs of Miles Davis. We are inspired by the Buffalo Soldiers and Tuskegee Airmen who fought for our Nation—even when our Nation did not treat them equally.

But history is not only about the distant past—it is made every day. Every day, African Americans continue to make their mark on the American story, writing a new chapter through their character and contributions. This history-making does not happen in isolation; it is built upon centuries of hard-fought victories for civil rights and human dignity. We cannot ignore, reject, or deny our Nation’s past—we can only learn from it so we can know better, do better, and be better tomorrow.

We are honored to serve alongside the African American Soldiers and Airmen who choose to make history—Black history, American history—in the National Guard. Thank you for being Always Ready, Always There!

Sincerely,

Daniel R. Hokanson
General, U.S. Army
Chief, National Guard Bureau

(e) copy of any slide presentations, instructor guides, and/or training materials
(2) Pursuant to references 1f and 1j, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for
Manpower and Reserve Affairs (ASA (M&RA)) will approve all requests for NFEs to
provide financial literacy education or training to Soldiers and all materials for use by NFE
personnel.
(a) NFEs must obtain a letter of approval signed by a Presidentially appointed,
Senate-confirmed civilian official.
(b) The ASA (M&RA) will develop and maintain a list of all approved NFEs
for financial literacy education and training. The ASA (M&RA) will provide the list to the
DCS, G-9 for appropriate dissemination.
(3) ASA (M&RA) approvals remain valid for a period not to exceed 36 months
from the date of approval, provided the actions of the NFE remain compliant with all
relevant clauses of this and all other applicable regulations.
(4) Approved NFEs must reapply and have an approved application before
continuing instruction beyond 36 months.
(5) Approved NFEs must provide a 30-day notice to the ASA (M&RA) if they
intend to cease instruction before the end of their period of approval or if they do not
intend to reapply when approval expires.
(6) Within 120 days of the date of this directive, all NFEs with current Army
approval must reapply in accordance with the guidelines provided herein. NFEs that
do not reapply will be ineligible to provide financial literacy education until a new
approval is received.

Installations To Support Financial Education)
3
(3) Monitor compliance with this directive by NFEs, senior commanders, and
Army Community Service and Family Support Center staff.
(4) Develop a process for installations to identify and report non-compliant NFEs
in accordance with reference 1f:
(a) Limit approvals to training developed by DoD (verified by DCS, G-9 to meet a
specific financial readiness CMT requirement described in this issuance) or another
specific training need identified by DCS, G-9.
(b) Verify that any training and associated materials provide factual, unbiased
information; do not contain any branding or attribution to any NFE; do not promote or
appear to promote any particular commercial product or service; and are compliant with
all applicable policies.
(c) Ensure that successive invitations are not issued to a single NFE or a small
group of NFEs if there are multiple NFEs with similar qualifications and availability that
meet the criteria in reference 1f.
c. Senior Commander (or Delegee) Responsibilities.
(1) Invite all NFEs and ensure that each has satisfied the requirements to
provide approved financial literacy education or training on their installations based on
need.
(2) Ensure that financial literacy education or training has been approved by a
Presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed person within ASA (M&RA) pursuant to
references 1f, 1j, 1k, 1m, and 1n.
(3) Discontinue financial literacy education or training on the installation for
NFEs that fail to comply with all applicable regulations. Follow guidelines in Army

to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness.

literacy education or training, including on behalf of an approved non-Federal entity.

education advisor to verify compliance with reference 1g.
(8) Comply with AR 210–7; paragraphs 2–5, 2–6, 2–9, 2–11, and 2–14.
(9) Army commanders, managers, and supervisors at all levels will encourage
personnel to seek advice from a legal assistance officer, the installation financial
counselor, or their own lawyer before making a substantial loan or credit commitment.
Personal financial managers and counselors are available at Family Support Centers,
and legal services are available at the nearest installation Legal Assistance Office.
(10) Avoid the appearance of favoritism by taking care not to issue invitations to
a single approved NFE or a small group of approved NFEs if there are multiple
approved NFEs with similar qualifications and availability per reference 1f.
d. NFE Responsibilities. All NFEs approved to provide financial literacy education or
training on Army installations will—
(1) Submit a quarterly report about activity on Army installations to the

date of event, number of participants, Army point of contact for event, summary of
event, and evaluation data.

additions to previously approved training materials or trainers before implementing new
or adjusted materials or trainers.

services are offered with no expectation of future payment.
(4) Ensure training materials comply with requirements specified in paragraph 5e
of this directive.
(5) Conduct educational presentations only at the express request of the senior
commander (or delegee). At any time, in accordance with this directive, a senior
commander (or delegee) may discontinue NFE services, such as those outlined in
reference 1d (prohibited practices), including the “solicitation of recruits, trainees, and
transient personnel in a group setting or ‘mass’ audience and solicitation of any DoD
personnel in a ‘captive’ audience where attendance is not voluntary.”

information on class attendance.

directive into AR 210–7 and AR 608–1 within 2 years of the date of this directive.
