Called Quail Hollow, the privatized housing development for airmen assigned to Dyess AFB, Tex., is turning heads. Dawn Davis-Spector, 7th Civil Engineer Squadron housing flight manager, tells the Dyess Global Warrior that the houses are “better quality homes than you find on base.” And, the development includes amenities such as tot lots, pools, and a clubhouse. Davis-Spector also says the developer provides “top notch” customer service and has dedicated police and maintenance personnel.
A new report from the Government Accountability Office calls for the Pentagon’s Chief Technology Officer to have budget certification authority over the military services’ research and development accounts—a move the services say would add a burdensome and unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.
