On Ft.Bragg it is E-6 rank. Otherwise you need a Certificate of Non Availability from your unit. Meaning there isn't barracks space.
Staph infection 2 weeks out from BCT

Gotchya. I know that is a problem around some bases, landlords jacking up rates. Luckily, I never lived in an area that had that problem.
E-6? That fucking sucks. So does an E-5 SF NCO have to live in the barracks than?
Luckily the on-post housing in Alaska was nice. They were 8-plexes but two stories with a basement and backyard. The larger units had decks build on them and the new units being build have garages.

I heard in 3rd group that happens. Plus a team sergeant can put a guy in the barracks. Most of the time guys get BAH.
That. Sucks.
This has been...informative lol
I'm hoping to get married next year so that should solve that problem ;)
Side question, how hard is it to get a job as a nurse on base as a civy?

That depends on the base. My wife, an ICU Nurse, never had an on base job. All of her employment was in the off base at "local" hospitals; no trouble there. She will need to secure a state license to practice in what ever state she will practice in. Again, no troubles there, just time and license fees.
Roger that. Laura(GF) has been a Pediatric trauma nurse for 6 years. She's currently getting her Masters to be a NP. The hang up will be finding a children's hospital wherever we go. Upside...she'll make more $ than me :)

I don't know if it's just an Air Force thing, but once you hit E-4 you can choose to live off base and collect BAH. Its just the non-dependent rate.

That's just an AF thing.
Back to the original subject-The better half checked the incision and said you can tell new skin is forming and it's closing up. Tops 1 more week. Ive been showering twice a day allowing soap to run over it and rinsing it. Its constantly covered otherwise. Follow up appointment is on Thursday. Doc will check it out. I feel fantastic. The cut isn't sensitive and range of motion is still good. I hate that I can't workout..haven't had alcohol in almost two weeks, also I've been eating healthy so I'm actually down to 208lbs...a month ago I was 217. I fear I'm going to lose even more during bct, as well as strength, joy.
**UPDATE**
Just had my follow up with the Doc. He said its healing much faster than anticipated. It was definitely Staph, he wrote me an excuse for the Percocet and said he highly doubts it won't be completely closed a week from now.
Thank you to all who responded with help and information! Stoked to get to BCT and get after it!

Thank You! I will be a 13F training at Ft.Sill. Hoping to have the opportunity to volunteer for Ranger Selection.
Thanks! I've heard a lot of positive and some negative things about it. A friend of mine whom is currently in training for Psyops was a 13F in the 10th mountain division and loved it. But I've heard from others in that 82nd that hate it. I've heard nothing but positive information about that mos in the 75th. Excited never the less!
