I am a 25B SPC reclassing to a 68P. I know phase 1 is about 24 weeks long and phase 2 is about 22 weeks. I am wanting my boyfriend to move to Fort Sam with me while I go to school. As a reclass soldier will I be able to live off post with him since it is considered a PCS or will I be forced to live in the dorms? Will I have the option to stay at Fort Sam for phase 2 or is it based on open slots?

Unless you have a situation that would exempt you from living in the barracks (married, kids), then you would be staying in the barracks. Army regulation is that single without dependent soldiers below the rank of SSG/E-6 will live in the barracks. If the barracks are full, E-5(P) and E-5s, by priority are moved out first to free up room.

I'm considering reclassing to 68P, but I won't do so if I can't bring my family with me. Can you offer any insight on this? I'm concerned because of the fact that the 2 phases are likely to occur in different states.

the army only recognizes marriages and possibly other legal unions, not entirely sure on that part. but no as far as I know you will not be able to live off post. as far as the army is concerned, you're a single soldier and will be treated accordingly. it being a PCS is besides the matter as well. until you are married or reach a certain rank you will stay in the barracks
