Are Civil Affairs Sergeants (E-5s specifically) required to live in the barracks once they arrive at 95th CAB?

Yeahh buddy, unless you are married/receive BAH you'll be in the barracks until SSG. There are some circumstances where units can/will authorize BAH for SGT and below, but not the normal.

If you were to attend CAAS this month, you would have close to 2 years before you would possibly report to the 95th, 3 if you go Medic. A lot can happen in that time, and if they do go to the B's (which I don't believe they do) it wouldn't be for long and definitely should NOT be a reason to decide to go to ARSOF or not.

Your MOS has nothing to do with BAH entitlements. Even SF E5s have to live in the barracks when there is availability.

I can give perspective from inside the Brigade and I am not aware of any 38B’s staying in the barracks. You will more than likely be afforded the opportunity to find a place to live and stay off post.

Side note, we no longer use the abbreviation 95 CAB. It is 95th CA BDE (SO)(A).

Best of luck in selection and reach out if you have any questions, and I’d be happy to help!

MOS has little to do with whether you live in the Barracks. It has to do with availability and Command policy.

Depends on location, billeting.
