The description, in two lengths.
Written to be copied verbatim. Both versions are accurate as they stand — please do not tighten them into a claim we have not made.
Boris™ is a PCS and relocation guide for U.S. military-connected families posted overseas. It turns a set of orders into a checklist shaped by the household, and keeps working once the family has arrived.
Boris™ is a mobile guide for U.S. military-connected families posted overseas — active duty, GS, contractors, NAF, DoWEA (formerly DoDEA) educators and their households. It turns orders and household details into a personal PCS plan, then keeps working after arrival with local guides, places, events and practical tools. Six more German communities, and communities in Italy and Japan, are planned; each appears only after it passes review. It is free for families and independent of the U.S. government.

Four rules, and one that matters most.
- Write Boris™ with the trademark on first mention. After that, Boris™ is fine.
- Do not alter the wordmark. No recoloring, rotating, stretching, outlines or effects. Pick the light or dark file to suit your background.
- Say which communities are live. If you show a destination or partner page, keep the Live/Planned label attached — only Kaiserslautern (KMC) is live today, and the rest are marked Planned, still in review, until they pass it.
- Never imply government endorsement. Boris™ is independent of the U.S. government; suggesting otherwise is the one error we will ask you to correct.
