Jim Remington Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs Three of four Joint Base Anacostia-Bol- ling (JBAB) unaccompanied housing units won an A-List Real Estate Award for Cus- tomer Service Excellence based upon Com- mander, Navy Installations Command’s (CNIC) 2014 Resident Satisfaction and Opinion Survey. The survey, conducted by Christopher E. Lee & Associates, Inc. for all Navy unac- companied housing units worldwide, asked residents to rate their facility on a number of customer service measures of effectiveness. Unique within Naval District Washington (NDW), JBAB manages four of the district’s ten unaccompanied housing units in a re- gion that spans the area from Fort Meade to Annapolis to Dalhgren and Patuxent River. JBAB and Naval Support Activity (NSA) Bethesda are the only two installations to manage more than one (NSA Bethesda man- ages two). Together, JBAB’s unaccompanied housing team manages Enterprise Hall, Fur- nari Hall, the Honor Guard Barracks, and Blanchard Barracks. Criteria for the “A-List Award” is a cus- tomer service score of 85 percent or greater. Enterprise scored highest in the NDW re- gion with 92.9 percent. Furnari placed third U.S. Navy photo by Lt.
