Any personnel arriving on base after service hours will be assigned temporary living quarters until the next duty day. The facilities are made up of 14 motel-type barracks with semi-private rooms. For enlisted personnel of rank E-4 and below, you will be billeted in a two-person room. There is a mix of units with attached baths and communal bath facilities. The Unaccompanied Housing facilities strive to provide a personal residence that creates a comfortable, functional, and well-maintained home with a mission to take pride in the community.
