So as of yesterday I had became my units Barracks Managing NCO, and as everything in the Army, paperwork was a mess, and the prior NCO did not really care of things in the barracks. I am always up for a Challenge, but I have the slightest clue on how the Barracks Management works and having a a hard time finding documents on how to get things done.

I was thinking of running it how a Apartment would but I am sure it is a diffrent beast, anyone here had any knowledge on running barracks or having to do Barracks Inspections and talking to the NCOIC of the barracks, or general tips to get contact with the contractors, places to get things, ect

My best advice on this is so simple many people do not think of it. See who the best person at that job is in adjacent units, who makes the highest marks in inspections and seek out their guidance.

If you have not already, start here with the manual.
https://www.housing.army.mil/Documents/FSBP2020.pdf

After that, start with the First Sergeant and have a meeting with him as this is his program, you are just the chosen one to administer it for it for him. Unless he or she is an utter noob they will have had some experience in this and have an idea how they want it run. Plus this gets their input and avoids you making early mistakes that puts you on the wrong side of your Top. And they can better direct you on where to go and how to go next.

You will need access to electronic Military Housing or eMH. Talk with your 1SG about finding who the trainer is for this program. eMH will be how you track who is in what rooms and check people in and out. You will still need paperwork though, such as the pre move in inspection, 2062 for furniture, the move out inspection, and the barracks clearance memo.

Wow, times have changed! I knew open bays were a thing of the past. I'm unfamiliar with the job title Barracks Managing NCO. Nov '74-Dec '75 at Camp Casey, Korea was the last time I lived in a barracks.
