7 AFAP ISSUES Issue: There is no automatic car wash on post proper Scope: Soldiers and Families do not have a convenient location to clean cars in the winter. Recommendation: Open a multi-bay automatic car wash with under carriage cleaning by the Ontario Express. Believe that the bays would be filled constantly and would pay for itself quickly. Issue Status: Exchange has solicited for the automatic car wash program. Have solicited local and national companies over the past year and a half. Proposed site layout, drawings and bids were completed. Solicitations have been suspended at this time due to non-responsiveness. Solicitation of automatic car wash business will be ongoing.

8 Army Family Members and the Basic Skills Education Program (BSEP) Army Family Members may participate in the Basic Skills Education Program (BSEP) on a space available basis. The Family Member must be at least 18 years old. The Sponsor must complete a registration form; identifying the Family Member and giving the Sponsor s unit and contact information. Army Education will create a GoArmyEd account for the Family Member and schedule them for the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE), the diagnostic for BSEP and review the results with the Family Member. If the Family Member qualifies for BSEP, they attend the 1 st day of the class and are registered if space is available. Attendance is monitored the Family Member will be dropped from the class if they miss 6 hours. Civilian casual dress is the standard for Family Members attending the class. At the completion of the class, the Family Member may schedule the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) with their recruiter or a comparable college aptitude test off-post.
