My Army Post App Survey
The Army is rapidly developing a new app to better connect Soldiers and Families to installation information, programs and services. IMCOM is actively seeking input and feedback to ensure this app is most effective for our People and supports our senior commanders. Please find an overview of the new app and a survey at the following link: https://survey.tradoc.army.mil/EFM/se/466E33927BBAEBD501.
Feedback on Community Yard Sales
U.S. Army Garrison Japan would like community feedback on yard sales. Should we conduct them or do most families just sell used items via online platforms? If we do host community sales, how many times a year? What would you like to see for the sales?
You can send us a private Facebook message or email the Public Affairs Office at: USAGJapan@gmail.com.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you want to provide!
