[crankymrman]

Show E1-E4 housing i dont want to see E7 housing

[goarmyvideos]

@crankymrman There is more info on housing on goarmy.com under Soldier Life-Being A Soldier-Housing. YouTube doesn't let us put links in comments so this is the best I can do. Hope it helps!

[crankymrman]

@goarmyvideos thank you

[Knowalot100]

I prefer custom built.

[Knowalot100]

I'm not sold.

[centurion180ad]

....so base housing on some posts hasn't gone to shit, and perhaps has even been picked up a bit. Good. Someone has done the correct thing, and is probably going to be fired by the God damn bankers when they find out about this outrage of treating senior NCOs with due respect.

[guitarhamster102]

He's only NCO though. So if you're married and you're just an NCO, you get THIS much stuff?

[RoyalDog214]

This is bullshit. The only soldiers who get to live in this type of housing are either Officer, NCO, or are married.

If you're not one of those category, you'll like in some kind of bunk room that is shared by other soldiers similar to your rank.

[guitarhamster102]

@RoyalDog214 the guy's a NCO who's probably had 10 years worth of service time.

[RoyalDog214]

@guitarhamster102 I'm aware of that. I was replying how the video was trying to impress people into joining the military so they could get these type of housing.

[guitarhamster102]

@RoyalDog214 lol yea, nothing close to barrack life.

[csbob2010]

@RoyalDog214 Which is why is says 'Enlisted HOUSING' not Barracks.

[RoyalDog214]

@csbob2010 ..OH REALLY? It said Enlisted HOUSING not Barrack?!!! I didn't realize that! Omg you're so smart! Have a free Nobel prize!

[csbob2010]

@RoyalDog214 Quit making yourself look so dumb then.

[chenpod123]

christ, charles scares me

[AmphibiousReconMSOB]

He's married probebly 37-40 ,so thats why he has kongs house.He put in at least a decade of work in the Army.

[aaron1719]

this video makes me feel extremely spoiled lol

[armybrat585]

Lol @ Charles

[scottymotech1]

It's called a curio cabinent 1SG

[Lovina44]

The officer housing looks just like that, so does the E2 housing. It's more cookie cutter (and more cheaply built) than when it was run by the military.

[kevveye]

i bet e-1's with family dont get to stay on base with family

[leafboii]

this seems to good to be true... : /

[AMT4245]

@leafboii it is. He probably makes NO money for himself and he is one lucky son of a bitch to get that good of housing.

This video is by the US Army and they dont want you to get the right idea of housing

[bigj687]

@AMT4245 This is not unrealistic for a SFC (which he is), given the base pay, allowances, and bonus pay and benefits he receives. Especially if his wife has a similar income. It is obvious that a PFC right out of BCT and AIT will not have a house like this, because this man has likely been in the army around 15-20 years given his age and rank.

Don't join the army if you think you will be rich and live a luxurious life, no matter what anyone tells you, because you won't.

[AMT4245]

@bigj687 thanks for the tip but i have never had any plans to go into any branch...

[DarthNefarian]

@AMT4245 Are you kidding me? You do realize he makes about 50K a year with no House expenses right? Almost everything in the house the army pays for plus a family and clothes stipend. Plus this guy could retire before the age of 45.

[Evilstewie831]

wheres the officer version ?

[maplemanz]

what is a man cave???????????????

[IxRiCOxI]

@maplemanz the place where a man forgets he is married

[anteracmacash]

@IxRiCOxI sutch a place does not exist...atleast not in this universe :D

[sneekpeekz]

what rank is he? he must be pretty up there if his house looks like that!

[TimmBotv01]

@sneekpeekz Actually, in the Army, it all depends on how many kids you have. There are privates who have homes just like these. The Army has been tearing down all of their old housing & building nice, modern homes.

The quality of living on an Army post isn't what it was back in the 1980s or before.

They've taken great strides to drastically improve the overall quality of living for today's modern soldier!

;-)

[sneekpeekz]

@TimmBotv01 hell yeah!!! i stand corrected!

[TimmBotv01]

@sneekpeekz I didn't mean that as a "Uh-uh...you're wrong" kind of thing! LOL! I just meant that living conditions have improved for soldiers across the board! WHICH IS AWESOME!

;-)

[Sh3pardMelody]

@sneekpeekz HES a staff sergeant or a bit higher... 7+ years in the army

[goarmyvideos]

This is his home on the post he is stationed on.

[screamoemobrian]

Is this soldier on leave or is he allowed to be home while on duty???

[JoshTheGrouch]

@screamoemobrian This is ON base so yes he can be home while on duty.
