LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. –
The Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce's Military Affairs Council is once again coordinating the annual Holiday Rooms program. Through the generosity of Peninsula innkeepers, technical sergeants and below can reserve a free room for visiting family members. Here are the rules and the form to use:
The "Official" line on the program is:
1. Rooms are available for the "families" of active-duty E-6 and below.
2. Rooms are available for Dec. 24-26.
3. Rooms are assigned on a "first-come, first-served" basis and limited to one room per military member.
4. Rooms are for Service member families - not Service members
5. Military members must be assigned to a Peninsula military or Coast Guard installation.
6. The southside installations have their own program, and any military member who lives on the Peninsula and is assigned to a southside installation should be directed to their duty installation.
7. It is the responsibility of the Service member to call individual hotels for specific requirements - hotel check-in times, check-out times and deposit requirements vary.
8. Once the room list is released to local hotels, any changes must be handled directly with the assigned hotel.
