MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --  Operations at the Parker Greene Base Support Center began as the Comptroller Squadron and Public Affairs office completed moves to the new building. 

The $10 million, 46,064-square-foot one-stop center will soon house many of Moody's support functions including Housing Management, Civilian Personnel, Judge Advocate, Mission Support Squadron, Safety, Commander's Staff and the Wing Historian. 

The transition has been fairly successful for the two agencies that have already accomplished the move, said Maj. Eric Turner, 23rd Civil Engineer Squadron director of operations. 

"It's been going great for Public Affairs and the Comptroller Squadron- we've come across the inevitable hiccups as people moved in, but the new occupants and contractors worked as a team to fix them," he said. "I look forward to the day the building is fully occupied, because it will be a hub of continuous activity and full of people supporting Team Moody." 

The new building will include a coffee kiosk, several social areas and will provide the convenience of having many agencies located in a single area. 

The 23rd MSS will continue to move their operation into the Parker Greene Building through Aug. 24 but is offering customer support (including identification cards) on a limited basis in the squadron's current building. Manpower and personnel services may be limited during this time due to computer set-up, relocation of files and telephones. 

The Judge Advocate's office is scheduled to move Aug. 27-31. The office will reopen Aug. 28 but customers can expect some degradation of services for the remainder of that week. Normal operations are scheduled to resume Sept. 4. During the move, 257-3414 should be available at all times for JAG-related services. 

The Safety office is scheduled to move in early September, and the Traffic Management office is scheduled to move Sept. 10-14. All moving times/dates are subject to change.
While the new offices might seem more refined for some who worked in Moody's older buildings, Major Turner suggests each agency to add a little spice to their work area, he said. 

"I walk through the building with new occupants and tell them it's time to take ownership of their new workplace," he said. "The building's occupants now have the chance to make it their home. They should take the opportunity to talk to the new facility managers or supervisors about adding those personal touches to make the space welcoming to permanent occupants and customers who will visit the building daily." 

Airmen working for the agencies who have accomplished the move are content with their new work areas and feel the building will provide an improved customer experience, said Master Sgt. Dyrell Reeves, 23rd CPTS. 

"The move has been challenging yet rewarding, as we are moving into a brand new facility which will provide only the finest customer service that Team Moody members deserve," said the sergeant. "The new facilities will definitely improve the morale of both our Airmen and customers."
