Is your housing privitized? If it is then you should be able to do an addendum to your lease. When we lived overseas the housing office offered a form to fill out......does yours?
If either of the above does not apply then all they would really be looking for is what you are selling and basically that you would not be running a storefront from your quarters. If you want to PM me...I can totally help you draft a letter!
HTH!

Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. The housing office here in the Kaiserslautern area (Ramstein AB) in Germany requires a letter from me requesting permission to run a home based business out of my housing unit. I was told to include my sponsor's info and the fact that I will not be maintaining any inventory. Once that goes to Housing, everyone and their brother has to sign off. I've never heard of any PC consultants being turned down but it is a hassle.

I have heard of this as well, I had a recruit who lived on base over here. I have also read posts where PC consultant got into "trouble" because they didn't follow the base rules. I think the problem was door to door sales on base though. I'm not sure if all bases have that rule though. I think you would have to just contact your welcome center or whom ever hadles these matters on your base.
I'm surpised that they don't have a form to fill out.

Thanks for all the replies! I am glad to know I am not alone. I live on base at Vance AFB, OK. The Services squadron needs a letter from my sponsor regarding my home business; but they never disclosed any details of what they need in the letter. I'll just put something together and go from there. I know when I was stationed overseas in Germany you had to do the same thing but I wasn't consultant then. I'll let you know all know how it turns out. Wish me luck!

On our base we need to fill out a Home Enterprise Package; you fill it out and then military public Health, Enviromental planning, Fire prevention,the AAFES general manger, the housing office and the legal office need to sign off on it and then they give you a License to do your home bussiness on the base, and in that packet it give you a bunch of there little rules they want you to abide by. We picked up our paperwork from the Housing office, but the family support center may have more information for you; hope this helps at all.

We live in housing and I checked into this. They told me that I needed to do the paperwork if I were opening a daycare or something along those lines. However, I didn't have to fill one out just being a consultant. I don't need to prove I have insurance and all that crazy stuff because my business is not actually run in my home where others could get hurt.... It may be different overseas and in other housing?
