Upgrades

the Housing Office. Due to the volume of inbound and outbound
personnel during a typical transfer season, no upgrades will be made during
the transfer season. Upgrades will be typically be assigned from the

number of dependents), however, will take priority over a member simply
seeking a larger living space.
