Pets - Marine Corps Order P11000.22 Ch 6 pertains to pets and should be reviewed by everyone wanting to live in on-base housing.

Utilities – In 1998, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) set forth the policy for the payment of utilities in Public Private Venture (PPV) housing to encourage energy efficiency in privatized housing units. The Resident Energy Conservation Program (RECP) represents the Navy’s next step in establishing an energy conservation program in PPV housing consistent with OSD policy. The RECP is designed to set a reasonable range for normal electricity consumption in PPV housing units for the style home they are living. Residents whose electricity consumption falls within the 10% above and 10% below the normal electricity usage will not pay any out of pocket expense. The program requires residents to pay the difference for electrical consumption that is more than 10 percent above the average usage. Residents whose electrical consumption falls below the 10% normal electricity range will receive a rebate of the difference. You can view the Fact Sheet for RECP which includes frequently asked questions. RECP FACT SHEETS

Waiting Lists – At present most categories are available for immediate occupancy. When the need for a waitlist is determined, the wait list will be posted within the Military Housing Office along with wait times.
