Housing
Post housing for Soldiers and their Families
The military considers the welfare of Soldiers their Families to be one of its most important endeavors. In addition to the healthcare, retirement, education, and extra-curricular opportunities the Army provides, it goes to great lengths to assure each Soldier and each Family has adequate housing. The Army has recently spent time and money to renovate and create new housing communities for its Soldiers and for Soldiers with Families.
Single Soldier Living
Today's single Soldier barracks are not what your father remembers. As the Army has renovated its single Soldier housing system it has built its new accommodations with the Soldier's needs and suggestions in mind.
The Army's single Soldier barracks have been renovated or newly constructed with the needs of the Soldier in mind. Usually a Soldier will find general purpose wash rooms somewhere in the barracks for washing boots, backpacks, and other muddy items so they don't have to clean their equipment in their bathrooms. He or she will also find the Army has built living accommodations that Soldiers don't have to share with each other. Today's living quarters are generally attached to a bathroom and an apartment-style kitchen area that two Soldiers share, and some rooms are built with walk-in closets that even have industrial hooks mounted on the wall for military issue gear.
Family Housing
The military considers the welfare of Soldiers their Families to be one of its most important endeavors. In addition to the healthcare, retirement, education, and extra-curricular opportunities the Army provides, it goes to great lengths to assure each Soldier and each Family has adequate housing. The Army has recently spent time and money to renovate and create new housing communities for its Soldiers and for Soldiers with Families.
In the Army married Soldier's live with their Families, and when the Army constructed and renovated its housing communities it solicited and then incorporated the ideas of Soldiers and their Families. Some of the suggestions the Army adopted included more closet space, ceiling fans, yard space, and larger living areas. As always, each of its housing units comes with a refrigerator, stove and many come with a dishwasher. Separate laundry rooms and garages are also included in many of the Army's Family housing, and in some areas Soldiers and Family members can find trails on which to run. Housing areas also include playgrounds for younger children, outdoor basketball courts and they are built with sidewalks and plenty of street lights for the safety of all the residents.
