| | | Bienvenidos a Bliss Relocation Fair Recap | | |
Army Community Service pulled out all the stops for the 21st Annual Bienvenidos a Bliss Relocation Fair last week, and the turnout showed just how much this event means to our community!
New Soldiers and Families came through the doors and left with the connections, resources, and confidence they needed to hit the ground running in El Paso.
With more than 60 local sponsors, vendors, charities, and community organizations on hand, attendees didn't have to chase down a single office or phone number.
None of it would have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. A huge thank-you to our sponsors:

Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers:
Iron Zero
| |
One of the most important programs on post right now didn't come from the top down — it was built from the ground up. Iron Zero is a DUI prevention program that was created by the BOSS program, developed over nearly a year entirely by volunteers who were committed to keeping Soldiers safe. The mission is simple: Zero DUIs. Zero Regrets.
If a Soldier has been drinking and needs a way home, Iron Zero provides a free, confidential ride without judgment, hassle, or questions. The service runs every Friday and Saturday from 10pm to 4am. All a Soldier has to do is call 915-443-6573 or fill out this this form and a ride will be on the way.
Iron Zero is just one example of what the BOSS program brings to Fort Bliss. Designed specifically for Single Soldiers, BOSS works tirelessly to enhance quality of life through recreation, community service, and advocacy to make sure every Soldier feels supported both on- and off-duty. From organizing events and volunteer opportunities to pushing for improvements that matter our Soldiers, BOSS is proof that this post looks out for its own.
