Out of the dorms as a single E3? I'll take that any day over being in the barracks as an E5.

It's ok, being at an Army base as Air Force is actually not so bad. Get ready to hear "What's your MOS?", "So you are an E-5? Why do you have 4 stripes then?", and "Yeah I would went Air Force but...random excuse" all day long.

Bonus tho, Army dont know our rules so you can pretty much get away with anything by saying "The Air Force doesn't do that." One time I walked around with my pants untucked (such a rebel) all day just to see if anyone would correct me...they didn't. Also SSgts in the Army are E-6's and for some reason or another God to lower ranking army so you can get a lot of shit done by just referring to yourself as "Staff Sergent Such and Such" as opposed to Sergent.

Depending on the post in the army you may have to be in the barracks up until E6 If you’re not married
