35 CES Housing Brochure Nov 2019 Welcome to Misawa Air Base, Japan 1 INTRODUCTION The 35th Civil Engineering Squadron and our Housing Office Staff welcome you to Misawa Air Base! It is our pleasure to serve you during your stay at Misawa, and we hope your stay will be pleasant and memorable. This pamphlet outlines Air Force Military Family Housing (MFH) resident responsibilities for your assigned MFH unit and neighborhood. This pamphlet is not fully inclusive however it highlights important resident issues which will contribute to a pleasant housing community on Misawa Air Base. Unlike many Air Force Installations in the Continental United States (CONUS), personnel at Misawa AB work and live in relatively close quarters. This means both military and civilian personnel must acknowledge and respect their neighbors, working together to maintain a peaceful community. Misawa MFH residents’ support and adherence to standards enable the Misawa team to maintain a high quality of life

and execute the numerous important missions and tasks assigned to the 35 Fighter Wing and its tenant units. Each MFH unit on Misawa AB represents a substantial investment by U.S and Japanese taxpayers. Please take a few minutes to read this pamphlet and familiarize yourself with the necessary responsibilities as a resident in MFH on Misawa Air Base. THANK YOU FROM THE 35th CIVIL ENGINEER SQUADRON AND THE HOUSING MANAGEMENT STAFF AT MISAWA AIR BASE, JAPAN. 2 CHAPTER 1 - AIR FORCE RESPONSIBILITIES . 9 1.1 General: 9 1.2 Initial Inspection: 9 1.3 Maintenance and Repairs: 9 1.4 Service Calls: 9 1.5 Refuse, Sorting, Collection, Disposal, and Recycling10 1.6 Recycling Container:10 1.7 Recycling Items:10 1.8 Household Hazardous Items10 1.9 Cooking Oil and Grease:11 1.10 Sanitary Concerns: 11 1.11 Trash DOs and DON’Ts 12 1.12 Large Bulk/Special Item Pick-up: 12 1.13 Recycling and Refuse Collection (MFH Tower Apartments): 13 1.14 Lock-Outs: 13 1.15 Grounds Care: 13 1.16

All of these pests can be prevented or controlled through Integrated Pest Management (IPM) measures such as good housekeeping, proper food storage, pest exclusion, and minimal use of commercially available general-use pesticides. You are responsible for control of insects and other pests which attack your indoor plants, outdoor gardens, and flower beds. Pesticides used in the U-Fix-It program will not control these types of outdoor insects. Residents will have to purchase appropriate pesticides, many of which can be purchased through the Misawa Exchange or Off-Base home improvement stores. 1.231 A U-Fix-It program

RESIDENT RESPONSIBILITY 2.1 Compliance: Residents are responsible for complying with established policies and standards while residing in Government MFH units and are expected to maintain their areas of responsibility during their tour. Residents will be held liable for resident-caused damages, noncompliance or for failure to maintain their areas of responsibility 2.2 Leave or Extended TDY: If away from your MFH unit for more than seven calendar days, you are required to make arrangements for security, prudent care, and periodic inspections of your MFH unit. You must notify the Housing Management Office in writing and also your First Sergeant when you plan to be gone and providing the name and duty phone number of the individual who will have access to your MFH unit. The Housing Management Office has a form you may use to submit this information. The individual with access to your MFH unit must be over 18 years of age and be covered under the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). Pets may

not be left in the MFH unit unattended during your absence (see paragraph 3.1) 2.3 Liability for Damage to Family Housing Units, Equipment and Furnishings: Under Federal Law, members of the Armed Forces and Civilians occupying MFH are held liable for loss and damage to their assigned MFH unit, including equipment, furnishings, grounds and exterior facilities in their area of responsibility caused by the abuse or negligence of the member, dependents, guests, pets, and for failure to clean an assigned MFH unit satisfactorily upon termination of occupancy (10 U.SC 2775 and DoD Regulation 700014) The amount of liability shall be determined on a case by case basis. AFI 32-6001, Family Housing Management, provides guidance on responsibility determination and financial liability. This Air Force Instruction is downloadable on the Air Force e-Publishing website at http://www.epublishingafmil 2.4 Insurance: While occupying MFH, you are highly encouraged to consider purchasing commercial

insurance to protect yourself in case of major loss. Your insurance should clearly state personal liability coverage for loss or damage involving the government MFH unit, furnishings, and equipment. A common policy for this coverage would be a Renter’s Policy, which would cover loss of personal property as well as cover personal liability for government property. You may be able to obtain liability coverage for government property without insuring your personal property if you so desire. The government’s liability is normally based upon replacement value, net square footage, and grade. 2.5 Damages to MFH units: Residents are responsible to pay for damages beyond fair wear and tear. Although you may repair items yourself before terminating your assigned MFH unit, the repairs or replacements must meet Air Force standards. Residents are also held responsible for damages caused by U-Fix-It work and are required to restore to original, repair or make restitution prior to the Final

Termination Inspection. For additional information about damages to your MFH unit, contact the Housing Maintenance Section at 226-4663. 16 2.6 Energy and Water Conservation: As an MFH resident, your support is critical to our energy conservation efforts, our ability to achieve DOD mandated energy consumption reduction goals and to save taxpayer dollars. The following saving tips are quick and easy ways you, as a housing resident, can reduce your consumption and assist Misawa Air Base in attaining these goals. 2.61 Turn off electrical equipment, appliances, and lights when you are not using them Minimize large appliance (oven, washer, dryer, etc.) use during the peak demand period of 1300 to 1600 as the electricity cost rates are highest during this period. Do not leave outside lights on during daylight hours. Citations may be issued for the negligent waste of electricity Studies show that 30% to 40% of personal computers and printers are left running at night and on weekends even

though they are not being used. Additionally, many people leave televisions, stereos, and other electronic equipment running when they are not present. 2.62 Keep doors closed during heating and cooling of your residence This will reduce needless energy consumption for heating and cooling. 2.63 Try to dry multiple loads of clothes sequentially Loading one load of clothes into the dryer after another uses the heat retained in the dryer and reduces the amount of energy consumed. 2.64 Report leaky faucets, shower heads, and running toilets to the Housing Maintenance Section. These energy saving tips can easily be introduced into your MFH unit and help Misawa Air Base meet mandated energy and water reduction goals. Practice conservation in your daily routine, both in your MFH unit and at work. Remember, good stewardship means getting the most from the resources we’re given, so please help Misawa Air Base in its energy conservation efforts. If you have any questions, please contact the

Base Energy Manager at energy@misawa.afmil or 226-5002 2.7 Environment: All residents of Misawa Air Base must be good stewards of the Environment. Please be sensitive to how you treat our environment Do not put/spill hazardous materials including but not limited to engine oil and coolants, car grease, batteries, paint, solvent, common household cleaning products and other similar products into plumbing, drainage systems, in the trash, down storm drains, or on the ground. Dispose of automobile tires, used oil, and coolant at the 35 FSSAuto Skills Center. Burning leaves and/or refuse is prohibited. Automobile care other than washing or changing tires is prohibited in MFH areas. 2.71 Asbestos and Lead Base Paint (LBP): Asbestos and LBP are present in many facilities on Misawa Air Base, including MFH units. Working or living in facilities in good condition that contain asbestos or LBP does NOT pose an immediate health risk. However, if these materials are disturbed, asbestos or LBP may be

released causing an exposure risk. Before disturbing any building materials, check with Housing Maintenance to make sure asbestos or LBP is not present. The removal of asbestos and LBP should only be performed 17 by properly trained personnel. 2.72 Mold: To prevent the growth of mold, keep areas vulnerable to moisture dry and well ventilated. If mold is a problem, clean it up immediately and locate the moisture source. If you are unable to locate the moisture source or suspect a mold outbreak, immediately contact Housing Maintenance. For more information about mold and how to prevent growth go to www.epagov/mold/ 2.8 Care of Interior: 2.81 Kitchens: Special attention is needed to maintain appliances, cabinets, and walls in the kitchen. The oven and broiler in your MFH unit should be cleaned regularly, especially the stovetop and underneath the stovetop. If your stove is adjacent to walls, keep them clean to prevent grease build-up which can become a fire hazard. Interiors of

refrigerators should be cleaned frequently to remove oil and grease. Avoid use of sharp instruments when removing ice if defrosting and do not use gritty or harsh detergents when cleaning the surfaces. Stainless steel or Formica counter tops must not be used as a cutting board. Avoid putting fibrous material such as onions and celery in garbage disposals as this jams the cutting mechanism. Do not put grease or oil in the garbage disposal because it will solidify in the pipes and cause blockages. Avoid placing hot utensils on counter tops. Use only regular shelf paper in drawers and cupboards The use of adhesive-backed paper will damage surfaces when removed. 2.82 Exhaust Fans: Two different types of exhaust fans are installed in family housing; vent hoods and outside wall mounted fans. These should be cleaned at least semi-annually to prevent grease build-up which in-turn may cause a fire hazard to your MFH unit. 2.83 Clothes Washers and Dryers: The Government furnishes clothes washers

and dryers Keep your washer as level as possible. Do not overload and do avoid washing extremely small loads.

As applicable, all previous chapters in this pamphlet also apply to Tower residents. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the entire pamphlet Residing in high rise MFH unit differs significantly from conditions encountered in other types of MFH. Above all, it

requires much more consideration for the welfare of others, as you will have neighbors above, below, and next to you. The cooperation of all residents and their guest(s) in abiding by the established rules of conduct set forth in this chapter is an absolute necessity. Abide by the Senior Resident Program; get to know who the Senior Resident is that has been assigned for your specific Tower. 5.2 Maintenance and Repair: See Chapter 1, Maintenance, and Repairs. 5.3 Tower Manager: A representative of the Housing Management Office is assigned as your Tower Manager to conduct inspection and assist you with information in resolving many resident issues and recurring maintenance problems. The Housing Management Office Facilities Section will assist you in reserving the Recreation Rooms and approving Bulletin Board advertisements. If you have any questions please contact the Housing Management Office Facilities Section at 226-9966. 5.4 Fire Protection Features: Your MFH Tower unit is equipped

with a combination of smoke/heat detectors and automatic sprinklers. Main hallway smoke detectors will activate Tower alarm if tested within the unit, therefore Tower residents should not test their smoke alarms. The hallways and trash room on the first floor are equipped with automatic sprinkler systems. These systems are temperature sensitive and will activate with sudden increases in temperature. 5.5 Fire Procedures: Report all fires at once, even if they’ve been extinguished by dialing 911 on landline or 0176-53-1911 if using a mobile phone. Give the Fire Alarm Dispatcher your Name, Nature of Emergency, Callback number if applicable, MFH unit number, and Street to help Fire Emergency Services in responding to your call. Should there be no telephone available, use the manual fire reporting stations provided on each floor level in the corridor. These fire alarm stations are easy to locate because of a red light just above each of them. When activated, the alarm station will alert

all residents of the Tower, and will automatically send an alarm to Fire Emergency Services. To ensure Fire Emergency Services was notified by the alarm system, follow-up the alarm activation with a phone call as soon as you are safely out of the building. 5.6 Fire Evacuation: As soon as the fire alarm system sounds, all residents should immediately exit through the smoke towers that lead to the outside of your unit. The smoke towers are designed to be a completely fire and smoke-free fire escape exit providing the safest 29 Means of evacuation from all floors to the ground floor. Access to the smoke tower is through the door located off the balcony of your unit’s master bedroom. Doors to the fire escape should never be blocked nor should any device be used to keep them in the open position. Propping this door open may allow smoke and/or fire to enter the smoke tower stairways. The smoke towers are to be used strictly for emergency evacuations only Do not use as a storage area

or as an entry or exit. Once you are out of your MFH unit and into the smoke tower, the door will automatically close/lock and you will not be able to return through this door. NOTE: Do not let children play in this area Check the door monthly to ensure it opens easily. Even though the smoke towers are the safest means of evacuation from the Tower MFH unit, you can safely use the main stairway as an alternate means of evacuation. However, there may be fire fighters and other emergency personnel using it to get to the scene of a fire, so be careful. Lighted exit signs and emergency lighting are provided at each floor level to show the exit direction and to keep the way lighted in the event of electrical power failure. The emergency lighting system will only be effective for approximately 45 minutes Keep a flashlight readily available in your car and home for use when extended power outages occur. 5.7 Do Not Use the Elevator as a Fire Exit: When the fire alarm system is activated, the

elevators automatically return to the first floor FOR USE BY FIRE EMERGENCY SERVICES PERSONNEL ONLY. 5.8 Fire Lanes: Each Tower has an open area or driveway around the front entrance area These areas are to be used strictly for emergencies, maintenance service, and government vehicles on official business. All other parking in these areas is prohibited 5.9 Elevators: Elevators should be used only to transport you and your family to and from your apartment. Elevators are equipped with motion detectors, which will cause them to shut down in the event of earthquakes. Excess motion will activate the motion detectors and stop the elevator. Each elevator has an emergency telephone, which is tied directly to the Fire Emergency Services Flight. If the elevator malfunctions, pick up the receiver and advise Fire Emergency Services of the situation. Parents, please caution your children not to play in the elevators or with the emergency phone. For all elevator issues contact Housing Maintenance

at 226-4663 5.10 Roof Top: The rooftop area is OFF LIMITS to all residents and visitors Only authorized maintenance personnel and emergency response personnel are allowed access. 5.11 Balconies: Each apartment has two balconies; generally one is off the living room and the other off the master bedroom.

Items stored on balconies should not be visible from the street. Do not hang anything from a window or balcony Do not shake rugs or mops out of a window or balcony, pour substances, empty waterbeds, sweep dust, rubbish, or litter from any MFH unit onto a balcony or common-use area. Ensure the balcony drain is clear to allow melting snow to run off. 30 5.12 Air Conditioning MFH unit: In Towers with air

conditioning systems that are located on the balconies, do not tamper with or place anything on top of or within 3 feet of the unit. Doing so may affect system operation and will restrict access for maintenance personnel. 5.13 Bike Pavilions: Most buildings have a bike pavilion for use by the residents Motorcycles may be parked in the pavilion, however the owner must provide protection under the vehicle to prevent any oil, or grease drips on the ground and a cover to protect children from burns. Residents may not store items such as tires, grills, lawn mowers, and snow blowers in the bike pavilion. Any unauthorized items may be removed without notification Bikes should be marked with the owner’s name and MFH unit number. Any bike found to be in disrepair or abandoned may be removed without notification. Any bicycles and motorcycles you own must be removed from the pavilion prior to your Final Termination Inspection. 5.14 Recycling and Refuse Collection and Disposal: Trash should be

taken out in clear, securely tied plastic trash bags to the trash room located on the first floor.

Japan is susceptible to a variety of natural disasters, however, earthquakes and typhoons are the most common. 8.11 Earthquakes: Earthquakes are a very real threat in Japan They can happen at any time and in any season. Japan is situated near a fault line, and is shaken by approximately 1,000

earthquakes per year which are strong enough to be felt by humans. During and after an earthquake the following safety practices should be followed: 8.111 When the quake stops, turn off or unplug electrical appliances and devices Ensure all fire hazards, such as stoves, are turned off. Fire is the single greatest cause of loss of life and property during and after earthquakes. 8.112 If you fear the structural integrity of your building has been compromised, do not enter until cleared by 35 CES personnel. Inspect your MFH unit for any structural damage. Inform your family members of any hazards so they can avoid those areas of the house during aftershocks. Report any damage to the Housing Management Office immediately. 8.12 Typhoons: Typhoons normally occur from May to November. Misawa forecasts normally take us through four conditions as the typhoon comes closer to the base. Tropical Cyclone Condition of Readiness 4 (TCCOR 4) is the least serious; usually indicating the typhoon is more

than 72 hours away. TCCOR 1 is the most serious, and means the arrival of the typhoon at the base is anticipated within 24 hours. You should become familiar with precautionary measures you should take via your duty unit’s information program or Emergency Management Representative. Notification will be made on AFN radio (1575 AM) and/or the Commander’s Channel 20. When notified of a typhoon forecasted to pass near or directly through the Misawa Air Base area, the following precautions should be taken: 8.121 Remove trash cans and all loose objects such as toys and bicycles from the yard, porch, or balcony and store them inside the house or storage room. These objects can be picked up by strong winds and driven into or through the MFH unit, causing extensive property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. 8.122 Ensure you store a sufficient supply of drinking and cooking water to last as long as three to four days, as water distribution systems may become contaminated. Check to

ensure you have a sufficient stock of canned goods. 8.123 Remember, a power outage is highly possible, and many foods will spoil without proper refrigeration. If a power outage has occurred, do not eat any perishable foods that may have spoiled as a result. Also be aware On-Base water systems rely on electricity to run various pumps. Although you may have water immediately after a power outage, water 40 Storage tanks will quickly drain without electricity to run the pumps. Once this happens, you will not have running water. Conserve water as much as possible in the event of a power outage. 8.124 Typhoons can also cause flash flooding Do not leave vehicles unattended in the basement driveway of tower apartments. Do not wade into any flooded area Maintain awareness of weather conditions before they become severe by listening to announcements on AFN radio (1575 AM) and Commander’s Channel 20. Report any flooding to 35 CES Customer Service at 226-9347/9348. 8.2 Mildew: The Commissary

and Base Exchange both carry products which absorb moisture and aid in mildew prevention. Although rare, when present, mildew in Family Housing can develop mainly due to the humid and damp climates.

A U-Fix-It project should improve living conditions but must not generate additional maintenance or repair costs to the Government. For example, do not drill holes; install nails or anchors, etc., in concrete or exterior walls of your MFH unit The Housing Maintenance Section cannot assist with U-Fix-It projects. Please note that the resident is liable for any damages caused by a U-Fix-It project. 10.2 Requesting U-Fix-It Work: All

U-Fix-It work that involves construction or modification of your MFH unit or grounds requires completion of an AF Form 332 Work Request. The Air Force now uses a web-based work induction system instead of the AF 332 for normal work requests, however the Housing Management Office still uses the AF 332 for MFH U-Fix-It project tracking and documentation. The AF 332 must be submitted to the Housing Management Office, Facilities Section in Bldg. 656 for review and approval Sketches clearly showing dimensions, distances to adjacent structures, and materials to be used must be attached. In other words, the sketch needs to clearly show exactly where and what you are planning to construct. When a project requires digging, an AF Form 103, Base Civil Engineering Work Clearance Request must accompany the AF 332. Work may NOT be accomplished until the AF 332 and/or 103 are coordinated with necessary agencies and approved. An inspection will be made upon project completion to ensure the finished

project matches what was described on the approved AF 332. For more information call the Housing Management Office’s Facilities’ Section, at 2269966 NOTE: U-Fix-It projects installed without an approved AF Form 332 are strictly prohibited. Any project found to have been completed without an approved AF 332 will be ordered removed. 10.3 Authorized U-Fix-It Improvements: 10.31 Fence Standards: The majority of Misawa MFH is equipped with government installed fences.

military members, dependents, and civilian personnel on Misawa Air Base (hereafter collectively referred to as Misawa personnel) are expected to behave in a manner that positively reflects on the U.S Department of Defense (DoD) and our Nation COMMANDER’S INTENT: Newly assigned members will review this Notice To Airmen (NOTAM) within 10 days of their arrival. All members of the Misawa Air Base community will abide by the information located within this document. Failure to observe the prohibitions and mandatory provisions of this NOTAM is a violation of Article 92, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The goal of this NOTAM is to serve as a one-stop shop for Misawa personnel The mission of the 35th Fighter Wing (35 FW) is to Protect US interests in the Pacific and defend Japan; deter adversaries through our presence, readiness, and ability to project combat air power.

Operations Security (OPSEC) 1.1 Misawa personnel have a responsibility to reduce an adversary’s ability to collect and exploit critical information and indicators about friendly activities to the greatest extent possible. 1.11 The numerous social media platforms that are available present

an OPSEC concern that cannot be overstated. It is imperative that Misawa personnel protect information to the highest degree possible. To this end, Misawa personnel are prohibited from sharing information on social media about real world movements and exercises on or off the installation. 1.12 Commanders, directors, and supervisors must hold personnel accountable for all computer and network violations. One such violation that can have a serious impact on our network is plugging a personally owned device (cell phone, tablet, etc.) into a government computer 1.13 Misawa personnel will be familiar with the 35 FW Critical Information (CI) Protection Memo located on the SharePoint page at the following link. 1.14 In order to protect the various missions that Misawa Air Base supports, the following activities are prohibited; photography on or around the flightline, the use of model aircraft or drones anywhere on base, and the use of citizen band (CB) radios. 1.15 While Misawa Air Base

shares a strong connection with our local community, we are not immune to attack. If you, or your dependents experience or witness one of the following, it is your responsibility to report it to Security Forces at DSN: 226-3600, Commercial: 0176-643600, or Air Force Office of Special Investigations at DSN: 226-3126. 1.151 Surveillance of on-or off-base activities or areas 1.152 Elicitation or gathering of information in person, phone, fax or e-mail 1.153 Tests of security to identify security weaknesses 1.154 Acquiring supplies such as weapons, identification cards, uniforms or decals 1.155 Suspicious persons seemingly out of place at work or home 1.156 Dry runs practicing a possible criminal or terrorist operation 1.157 Deploying assets such as positioning people or supplies 2. Professional Behavior 2.1 Misawa Air Base is committed to a professional environment, both on and off duty We have a zero tolerance policy for interpersonal violence and discrimination (e.g sexual assault,

harassment of any kind, bullying, hazing, etc.) Every member is responsible for promoting and contributing to a positive human relations climate, free of harassment and discrimination based on race, sex, religion, age, color, national origin, ethnic group, mental or physical handicap, or sexual orientation. For more information, review DoDI 102003, Department of Defenses Harassment Prevention and Response Program, AFI 36-2706, Air Forces Equal Opportunity Program, or call the Equal Opportunity Office at 226-3669. 2.2 Misawa personnel are prohibited from wearing offensive clothing on and off-duty This includes but is not limited to clothing with nudity, lewd or obscene depictions, profanity, drug2 WEASEL NOTAM – 35FW-19-00 Misawa Air Base Community Standards related pictures or language, discriminatory messages, or material associated with gang activities. 2.3 Under no circumstances will Misawa personnel engage in disrespectful or derogatory actions, conduct or speech directed

towards a Japanese National. 3. Customs and Courtesies 3.1 During the playing of the national anthems of friendly nations, render the same customs and courtesies as those given during the playing of the U.S National Anthem If in uniform, including the Air Force Physical Training Gear (PTG), render a salute. For civilians and military members not in uniform, pay the proper respects by placing your right hand over your heart. If you are driving a vehicle, stop and sit quietly, if consistent with safety and mission requirements. 3.2 When displaying the flag of any nation or US state (eg within family housing), only the current, official flag may be flown or displayed on Misawa Air Base. 3.3 We share Misawa Air Base with other members of the US Armed Forces as well as members of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. Misawa personnel are expected to render the proper customs and courtesies to other members of the Armed Forces, regardless of branch or nation. Please see Attachment 1 for an easy

chart outlining the ranks of each military branch. This courtesy also extends to staff vehicles. When officer passengers are readily identifiable (for example, officers in appropriately marked staff vehicles), the salute must be rendered. 4. Sponsor Responsibilities 4.1 Sponsors are responsible for the safety, well-being, and conduct of their guests and dependents They will brief their guests and dependents on appropriate behavior in Japan. 4.11 Gross misconduct or disrespect for authority (teachers, recreation or youth activity staff, facility managers, supervisors, security forces, commanders, other officers, senior noncommissioned officers, and mass transit bus drivers) will not be accepted and will be considered a violation of this NOTAM, as well as an aggravation to other violations that may have been committed. Gross misconduct includes, but is not limited to, profanity and unwanted physical contact. 4.12 A minor found violating this NOTAM may be detained by Security Forces

Security Forces will contact the minors sponsor or the sponsors first sergeant, commander, or enlisted superintendent, and release the child to one of them. Documented acts of misconduct or disrespect for authority will be handled by the agency concerned (e.g unit commanders, associate units, etc.) Misconduct will be referred to the Misawa Conduct Adjudication Program when appropriate. 4.2 Sponsors are responsible for their children while they are out of their direct supervision Children are not allowed to play in base housing stairwells, hallways, elevators, vehicle underpasses, parking lots, lobbies, garbage collection rooms, or other locations that may be dangerous or harmful (e.g locations specifically designated off limits, construction areas, abandoned houses, main roads/intersections, etc.) Additionally, Attachment 2 includes four age matrices that outline when children can be left alone at home, when they can be left 3 WEASEL NOTAM – 35FW-19-00 Misawa Air Base Community

Standards unattended outside, etc. However, these matrices do not supersede a parent’s decision to raise the age limit for their own children. Each child is unique; personality, environment, developmental progress, and maturity level are factors used to determine when children are ready to accomplish activities with little or no supervision. 4.21 The following curfew hours have been established for minors: 4.211 Curfew the night prior to a school day will be from 2300 to 0500 and the night prior to a non-school day will be 2400 to 0500. 4.212 During curfew hours, no minor will be outdoors (including being inside a motor vehicle) except as follows: 4.2121 The minor is accompanied by his/her sponsor or a responsible adult appointed by the sponsor. 4.2122 If employed, the minor will have 30 minutes to return to his/her quarters after termination of work. 4.2123 A minor participating in official functions that extend after curfew hours will have 30 minutes to return to his/her quarters

after termination of the function. 4.3 In order to foster readiness across Misawa, some Air Force members and DoD civilians require a Family Care Plan and/or an Emergency Evacuation Program (formally known as NEO) folder. Your Commander’s Support Staff (CSS) or First Sergeant will be able to determine if one or both of these items are required. These items are important and the sponsor must ensure they contain up to date information. 5. Substance Use and Abuse 5.1 The unauthorized manufacture, receipt, possession, use, and/or distribution of controlled substances on Misawa Air Base by military members, civilian employees, contractors, dependents, or visitors to the installation is prohibited. Military members who violate this prohibition are subject to discipline under the UCMJ. Civilian employees, dependents, and visitors who violate this prohibition are subject to United States law, Japanese law, 35 FWI 51901, Misawa Conduct Adjudication Program, and other applicable regulations.

5.2 The knowing use of any intoxicating substance (other than the lawful use of alcohol, tobacco products, or prescription drugs), which is inhaled, injected, consumed, or introduced into the body in any manner to alter mood or function is prohibited and will not be tolerated. These substances include, but are not limited to: designer drugs, such as “spice”, inhalants, propellants, solvents, household chemicals, and other substances used for “huffing”; prescription or over-the-counter medications when used in a manner contrary to their intended medical purpose or in excess of the prescribed dosage; and naturally occurring intoxicating substances, such as salvia divinorum. The possession of any intoxicating substance, with the intent to use the substance in a manner that would alter mood or function without legal authorization, is also prohibited and will not be tolerated. Other drugs and medications, such as “bath salts”, “BRON”, and “SARMs” (e.g Ostarine, Andarine,

Testolone, Anabolicum, etc) are prohibited on Misawa Air Base. 5.3 Furthermore, abusing over-the-counter medications (eg Coricidin cough and cold; AKA: Triple-Cs, DXM, C’s) in a manner contrary to their intended medical purpose is also prohibited. 4 WEASEL NOTAM – 35FW-19-00 Misawa Air Base Community Standards Offenders may be subject to appropriate UCMJ action or Misawa Conduct Adjudication Proceeding. 5.4 Drug paraphernalia of any kind is prohibited on Misawa Air Base 5.5 Misawa personnel are discouraged from using off base drug stores to treat common ailments Some of these products contain prohibited ingredients which can result in a positive urinalysis test. Due to this, personnel are encouraged to utilize on base resources for their prescription and over-the-counter medication needs. 5.6 If Misawa personnel have questions as to whether or not a drug is safe or legal, they may consult their Primary Care Manager or may reference Operation Supplement Safety on the internet at

www.OPSSorg 5.7 Misawa personnel can seek help with substance use or abuse by calling the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT) Office at 226-3230 or visiting their office in building 96.

its entirety, however, below are a few of the highlights. 6.21 All military personnel, regardless of grade, are prohibited from the public consumption of alcohol while off base between 2400 and 0500. 6.22 Military members in the grade of E-5 and below are subject to a curfew between 0100 and 0500. During curfew, military members must be on a US military installation, in a private residence off base, in a place of lodging, or in the performance of their official duties. 6.3 The blood alcohol content limit for Japan is 003, both on and off-base This is extremely low compared to the United States and could be less than one alcoholic beverage. The only way to ensure you are under the legal limit is to avoid any alcohol consumption before operating a vehicle. 6.4 Alcohol continues to be one of the biggest contributors to disciplinary actions here at Misawa The majority of Misawa personnel consume alcohol in a responsible manner, but the few that take things too far, risk straining the

relationship we have with our host nation. If you are involved in an off-base incident, you will be strongly encouraged to express your condolences to the offended party in service dress with your supervisor at the offending location. This is in addition to any disciplinary actions your commander deems appropriate. 5 WEASEL NOTAM – 35FW-19-00 Misawa Air Base Community Standards 6.5 The following locations are approved for on-premise consumption and sales of alcohol during posted business hours: Misawa Clubs 0600-0200, Walmsley Bowling Center 1000-0200, Misawa Inn 24/7, Gosser Golf Course 0600-2400.

pipes, etc.) may not be utilized indoors in MFH or UH areas and may only be used in the approved zones outlined in this NOTAM. These areas include: 7.61 All approved designated tobacco areas (DTA) established at Misawa Air Base From the approval of this NOTAM, no new DTAs will be established on Misawa Air Base. The 35th Civil Engineer Squadron (35 CES) will revise DTA signage and maps, as necessary. 35 CES may also install or repair structures associated with DTAs only on a reimbursable basis if adequate in-house capability exists. 7.62 MFH and designated UH areas 7.621 Upon being assigned to a MFH or UH unit, the Housing Management Office or Dormitory Management Office, will brief residents on the installation’s tobacco use policy for their respective housing unit. 7.622 If you are assigned to an UH unit, you may use smoke-generating tobacco products outside of your assigned dorm facility at a designated DTA or in your privately owned vehicles (POVs). 7.623 If you are assigned to a

unit within a MFH tower, you may use smoke-generating tobacco products at the nearest DTA or in your POVs. Smoking from tower balconies is not authorized due to the risk incurred by non-smokers living adjacent to tobacco users. 7.624 If you are assigned to a townhome-style MFH unit, you may use smoke-generating tobacco products in your backyards only if you smoke at the furthest point from your housing unit along the yard’s fence line. If a housing unit does not have a fence line, you must smoke at the furthest edge of the lawn area your unit is responsible for maintaining. This distance from MFH units is intended to reduce impact to neighbors in the same housing complex who do not engage in tobacco use. Members are not authorized to smoke on porches or patios due to the proximity to other housing units and potential fire risks. 7.625 If you are assigned to a “quad-style” MFH unit, you may use smoke-generating tobacco products at the nearest DTA or in your POV. Smoking will not

be authorized in these units due to a lack of equitable access to the units’ backyards by occupants of upstairs units. 7.626 During inclement weather situations, to promote the safety of Misawa AB personnel, and reduce the risk associated with smoking near occupied facilities, smoke-generating tobacco users will be required to utilize their POV or the nearest DTA. Members are not authorized 7 WEASEL NOTAM – 35FW-19-00 Misawa Air Base Community Standards to smoke on their porches or patios during these scenarios due to safety risks to members, proximity to other housing units, and potential fire risks. 7.63 POVs 7.631 If you are parked within 50 feet or less of a MFH facility, you may use smoke-generating tobacco products in your POV with all windows closed to avoid impacting residents in the neighboring housing units. 7.632 If you are parked within 100 feet or less of a playground, child care facility, or school, you may use smoke-generating tobacco products in your POV with

all windows closed. 7.633 If you are parked outside of your place of work or at a different establishment on the installation outside of MFH or UH areas, you may use smoke-generating tobacco products in your POVs with all windows closed. 7.634 If you are driving on the installation, you may use smoke-generating tobacco products with your windows down until you arrive at your destination. 7.7 If a member of the Misawa Air Base community wishes to seek help with tobacco use, the tobacco cessation program is available at 226-6607 or https://smokefree.gov is available on the internet. 8. Military Family Housing 8.1 Much of the housing on base has been constructed by the Government of Japan at little to no cost to the U.S Government As such, we have a responsibility to respect and honor their investment by supporting an on-base first family housing policy for all accompanied members. 8.11 The Housing Management Office is located in building 656, room 1000, and can be reached at 226-3200.

They will determine if on-base family housing (FH) is available within 30 days of your arrival. Based on residence availability, you must accept an on-base FH unit that meets your grade and family size entitlement in accordance with AFI 32-6001, Family Housing Management. If no units are available within your authorization, the Housing Management Office may offer you a unit with one bedroom above your entitlement. 8.12 If on-base FH will not be available within 30 days of your arrival, you will be permitted to secure housing in the local community. You will have up to 30 days of Temporary Lodging Allowance to secure acceptable community housing, except as otherwise permitted by local policy in accordance with Joint Travel Regulations. 8.2 The appearance of base housing directly reflects installation pride and commitment to a safe and well-kept community. Misawa residents are expected to maintain their government quarters in a neat, orderly, and clean fashion, free from clutter and

trash. Additionally, each housing unit’s appearance will be in accordance with the 35 CES Housing Brochure which is available at the Housing Management Office. A few highlights from the brochure are below 8.21 Residents will maintain grass in their assigned areas of responsibility to a minimum height of two inches and a maximum height of three and a half inches. 8.22 All grass should be removed from cracks and crevices in sidewalks, parking spaces, roadway gutters, and doorsteps. 8 WEASEL NOTAM – 35FW-19-00 Misawa Air Base Community Standards 8.23 The yard area must be free of trash and other debris Additionally, items such as tires, snow removal equipment, plywood or any items leaning against your MFH unit must be removed and stored. 8.24 Remove snow and ice from sidewalks by 0800 daily 8.25 If residents will be away for temporary duty (TDY), leave, etc they must make arrangements with neighbors, friends, coworkers, first sergeants, etc. to ensure grounds maintenance and snow

Additionally, the owner will also receive a citation, the animal will be subject to removal from the base, and housing privileges may be terminated. 9.10 Pet owners will ensure their pets utilize grass areas for urination and defecation Additionally, pet owners are responsible for cleaning up

their pet’s feces. Numerous pet waste trash cans have been installed around the base for pet owners’ convenience. Members who allow their pet(s) to urinate or defecate in a non-grassy area and/or fail to pick up their pet’s feces could face administrative action and/or permanent removal of the animal from the installation. 9.11 If you are PCSing with your pet, the Misawa Inn has a limited number of pet friendly TLFs, therefore it is recommended that you make reservations early. 9.111 Dogs and cats must be current on the required immunizations in order to stay in TLF Furthermore, there is an additional pet fee that is assessed for each night your pet stays with you in TLF.

Dorms 10.1 AFI 32-6005,

Unaccompanied Housing Management, outlines which personnel will be assigned unaccompanied housing (dorm room). Unless extenuating circumstances exist (building renovations, full occupancy rate, etc.), unaccompanied personnel in the grades E-1 through E-3 and E-4 with less than three years of service will be assigned a dorm room. 10.2 Dormitory residents are expected to maintain their government quarters in a neat, orderly, and clean fashion, free from clutter and trash. Additionally, dormitory residents are encouraged to decorate their assigned rooms as they wish, however, decorations must be in good taste and the room must be returned to the condition in which it was issued when the member departs. 10.3 Due to mission requirements and multiple shift workers, dorm quiet hours are 24/7 10 WEASEL NOTAM – 35FW-19-00 Misawa Air Base Community Standards 10.4 Cohabitation is not authorized 10.5 Dormitory guests are defined as, a civilian or military member who is not currently assigned

a billet in the dormitory facilities of Misawa Air Base. The following rules apply to dormitory guests: 10.51 Dormitory guests must be at least 18 years old and escorted by the sponsoring resident at all times. Dormitory guests are prohibited on campus between 2400-0600 hours The sponsoring resident is responsible for the actions of their guests (e.g ensuring quiet hours are enforced). 10.52 Overnight guests are not authorized If a guest is sleeping in a dorm room at any time, day or night, they are considered to be an overnight guest. 10.53 Dormitory residents may request a maximum of one 30-day social visit for spouses or significant others during any 12-month period.

This request must be approved by the resident’s Commander or First Sergeant and a copy of the approval must be provided to the Dormitory Management Office. 10.6 For more information about unaccompanied housing, please contact the Dormitory Management Office at 226-4000. 11. Safety 11.1 Misawa Air Base’s goal is to eliminate or minimize risk while maximizing our readiness posture. To this end, safety must be integrated into operations from start to finish, both on and off duty. 11.2 Automobiles 11.21 Driving in Japan is much different than driving in the US A few examples of these differences are; vehicles are driven on the left side of the road, the steering wheel is on the right side of the vehicle, speed signs are in kilometers, and traffic signs are different than those in the U.S 11.22 According to 35 FWI 31-218, Motor Vehicle Traffic Supervision, the following items are required in order to operate a vehicle: 11.221 Official DoD

Identification Card or other appropriate identification for non-DoD civilians 11.222 A valid USFJ Form 4EJ, US Forces, Japan Operator’s Permit for permanent party personnel; an International Driver’s Permit recognized by Japan for TDY or visiting personnel; or a U.S Embassy Driving Permit 11.2221 All military members and their dependents wishing to drive in Japan, must attend the base’s 4EJ course and earn a satisfactory score on the required test. 11.223 Military Registration and Certificate of Title of Motor Vehicle 11.224 Valid/Current Japanese Compulsory Insurance (JCI) and Property Damage Liability Insurance. Exception: Liability insurance is not required for motorcycles during the winter 11 WEASEL NOTAM – 35FW-19-00 Misawa Air Base Community Standards season. Regardless of seasonal use, JCI is mandatory and must remain in effect at all times. 11.225 Current year USFJ Form 15A, Road Tax Decal (for use on 4-wheel vehicles) or USFJ Form 15B, Road Tax Decal (for use on

2-wheel vehicles), properly affixed to the motor vehicle. Only the current year decal is authorized for display Expired decals must be completely removed and destroyed. 11.2251 The USFJ Road Tax Decal is not a vehicle pass It cannot be used to grant vehicle access onto any U.S Forces installation or facility Service component commanders will ensure vehicle entry onto a USFJ installation is based on the authorized credentials of the motorist/passengers and not on a vehicle decal. 11.226 Non-SOFA retirees may be issued a one-year vehicle pass or USFJ Road Tax Decal 11.227 Valid Government of Japan vehicle registration certificate 11.228 Annual Road Tax payment receipt 11.23 As with any US city, Misawa Air Base has a point system for violations related to vehicles Any individual accumulating a total of 12 points within a one-year period, or 18 points within a two-year period, will have their driving privileges suspended for 180 days. A few of the common infractions we experience here at

Misawa are listed below with their point and/or suspension/revocation penalty. 11.231 Cell phone use while operating a motor vehicle will incur a three point penalty with the first offense also incurring a 30-day driving suspension. All subsequent violations will incur a 180-day driving suspension. 11.232 Unattended running vehicles will result in a three-point penalty Exception: during the winter, vehicles may be left running unattended outside of a personal residence or personal work center to allow the engine to warm up. 11.233 Following too close carries a four point penalty 11.24 Winter driving 11.241 Misawa is notorious for getting more than 10 feet of snow during the winter Due to this, we have instituted mandatory winter awareness briefings for active duty personnel that have not spent a winter at Misawa during their current tour. 11.242 Many parking lots on Misawa Air Base have signs during the winter outlining when they are closed for snow removal. Adherence to these signs is

mandatory and failure to remove vehicles during snow removal operations will result in a two point penalty, and could result in vehicles being towed at the owner’s expense. 11.243 Snow or all-weather tires must be installed on vehicles from 15 Nov – 31 Mar 11.3 Motorcycles 11.31 The default riding season for motorcycles on Misawa Air Base is 1 Apr – 15 Nov However, depending on the conditions, the riding season may be adjusted. 11.32 In addition to the requirements to operate an automobile, motorcycle riders must carry their most current motorcycle safety course completion card. 12 WEASEL NOTAM – 35FW-19-00 Misawa Air Base Community Standards 11.33 Operators and passengers of motorcycles will wear an approved helmet, proper PPE (full fingered gloves or mittens, hard-soled over the ankle shoes, long sleeved shirt/jacket and long trousers, and eye protection), and a retroreflective upper garment at all hours of the day. These rules also apply to operating or riding a MOPED,

or three or four-wheeled vehicle powered by a motorcycle-like engine. Wearing of a tinted visor at night is prohibited 11.4 High-Risk Activities Program 11.41 The United States Air Force uses the high-risk activities (HRA) program as a management tool for commanders and supervisors when a member wishes to engage in those activities that have a higher potential for personal injury. However, risks are inherent to all, regardless of branch of service. Our joint partners should engage with their leadership when they wish to participate in an activity that possess an increased risk of injury. 11.42 The Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) HRA Guide lists 24 activities that have been classified as high-risk as well as step-by-step instructions for completing the HRA checklist and form. Military members wishing to participate in any HRA, must engage with their supervisors and fill out the required paperwork before taking part in the activity. 11.43 In addition to the 24 HRAs PACAF has identified,

Misawa has added drifting and any activity that takes a member into a remote area of Japan (commonly referred to as the backcountry) to the base’s HRAs. 11.431 Due to the inherent dangers of drifting, a member’s squadron commander must sign their HRA form after the commander has reviewed the member’s driving record. 11.432 Before a member heads into the backcountry (including parts of Hakkoda Mountain), their supervisor must ensure they have the appropriate gear, plan, and skills to participate in the intended activity. Additionally, the supervisor must also ensure the member is prepared to spend the night outdoors in the event adverse weather conditions prevent the member from returning to their vehicle or finding shelter. 11.44 Air Force civilians and other Misawa residents are encouraged to apply principles from the PACAF HRA guide to evaluate risks before participating in HRAs. 11.5 Pacific Ocean and Base Beach Aquatic Activities 11.51 Due to powerful rip currents in the

Pacific Ocean near Misawa, aquatic activities such as surfing, body boarding, windsurfing, swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, jet skiing, and kayaking can be very dangerous. These activities are allowed on Lake Ogawara (Base Beach) and in the Pacific Ocean unless prohibited by local Japanese ordinance. 11.511 Surfers and body boarders will ensure their board leash is attached to their person 11.52 All personnel windsurfing, jet skiing, and kayaking are required to wear a personal flotation device. 11.53 Privately-owned jet skis are considered marine motor vessels in Japan and require a Japanese Personal Watercraft License, Japanese Compulsory Insurance (JCI), and marine liability insurance. 11.6 Pedestrian and non-motorized vehicle safety 13 WEASEL NOTAM – 35FW-19-00 Misawa Air Base Community Standards 11.61 When available, pedestrians should use sidewalks or paths along roadways When sidewalks or paths are not available, individuals will travel facing oncoming traffic while on

roadways. Individuals walking, jogging, or running are encouraged to wear highly visible clothing and accessories. During nighttime hours and inclement weather, clothing should contain retroreflective properties 11.62 Individuals operating bicycles, tricycles, or other human powered vehicles, will wear a highly visible outer garment containing retro-reflective material during hours of darkness or reduced visibility and are encouraged to wear a highly visible outer garment during daylight hours. 11.621 Operators must wear a properly fastened and approved (eg Consumer Product Safety Commission, ANSI or Snell Memorial Foundation) bicycle helmet when riding on or off base. 11.622 Bicycles should be equipped with front-facing, pedal, side, and rear-facing reflectors During hours of darkness and inclement weather, an operational headlight and taillight are mandatory. 11.623 Bicyclists are considered part of the traffic when operating on roadways and will be operated single file, with the

flow of traffic, as far to the left as safely possible, and must comply with the established rules of the road. 11.63 Non-motorized transportation devices (eg skateboards, scooters, roller skates/blades and wheeled shoes) are prohibited on installation roadways, in parking lots while motor vehicles are present, on tennis courts, and within all facilities unless participating in an event sanctioned by the unit commander. 11.631 Operators of these devices will use pedestrian pathways, comply with all pedestrian-related traffic regulations, and yield to pedestrians. An approved (eg Consumer Product Safety Commission, ANSI or Snell Memorial Foundation) helmet must be worn at all times and the use of elbow pads, knee pads and/or wrist guards are highly encouraged. 11.64 The use of headphones, earbuds, cellular phones, or other listening and entertainment devices (other than hearing aids) while walking, jogging, running, or bicycling on roadways is prohibited. 11.7 Construction Sites 11.71

Construction sites may be present at any time or for any reason These sites can be extremely hazardous, with risks including open pits, heavy equipment, hazardous chemicals, and falling materials/tools. Construction sites are marked with signs, barriers, tape, cones, and/or other obvious devices. In the event a site is not clearly marked, assume a 50-foot standoff from operating equipment or personnel. 11.72 Active duty military, civil service or Japanese civilians, or dependents not directly participating in construction or construction inspection activities are prohibited from entering or traversing any construction site, whether active or temporarily inactive due to darkness, adverse weather, or other cause, unless they are escorted by an authorized Government inspector, craftsman, or contracting officer and all safety requirements must be met (hardhat, steel toed boots, eye protection, etc.) 11.73 Use marked transit paths, either as a pedestrian or a vehicle operator 14 WEASEL

NOTAM – 35FW-19-00 Misawa Air Base Community Standards 11.74 Unauthorized personnel entering a construction site will be treated as if they were inappropriately entering any other controlled area on base, and may be detained by Security Forces and/or receive administrative or non-judicial punishment depending on the severity of the offense. 11.75 Obey all construction flag-person personnel when walking or operating a vehicle in the vicinity of an active construction site. Contractor personnel will use wands, flags and/or hand signals to control movement. Follow standard Misawa traffic rules when passing slowmoving construction equipment 11.76 Parents or guardians, including baby sitters, should be especially attentive with young children around construction sites. Scaffolding, equipment, soil piles, etc are attractive as play areas, and children who might otherwise be safely left to play outside alone may be tempted to enter a construction site without any awareness of its inherent

dangers. 11.8 Hazardous Items 11.81 A firearms, munitions, and explosives amnesty box is located in the northwest corner of the long term parking lot across from the Munitions Storage Area. Use this box, instead of the trash, to deposit all bullets, shotgun shells, fireworks, black powder primers, and similar items. 11.82 Centralized collection points for hazardous items are as follows: 11.821 Reusable US Manufactured Cleaning Products and Paint: partially used (over half full) containers of General Purpose Cleaner, Laundry Detergent, Shower Tile, Bathtub and Household cleaning products and nonflammable commercial over the counter household pesticides, insect sprays, and rodent control products can be returned to the Hazardous Waste Storage Area (Bldg. 977, DSN 226-2040) for re-issue or disposal 11.822 Household Batteries: dispose in designated containers at the entrances to Main BX, Shoppette, Commissary, and any dorm entrance. 11.823 Auto Batteries: Auto Skills Center (Bldg 767, DSN
