Single U.S. Armed Forces students who have no dependents are provided housing in the barracks assigned to their unit. Married U.S. Armed Forces students whose family members do not accompany them are also housed in the barracks to whatever extent possible after the single students have been billeted. Enlisted students grades E-6 through E-9 are billeted in single rooms; E-5s and below are billeted two to a room. Those students who cannot be housed satisfactorily in the barracks or officers’ quarters may live off post and are given the established variable housing allowances. Housing costs are relatively high in the Monterey Bay area.
