Barracks program switching rooms aren’t single soldiers allotted a certain amount of time to move. ? If so where I can I find this?

Try bringing the issue up with your chain of command.
Did they give you prior notice, or did they just spring this on your today?

Hmmm, we had a locker in the platoon bay and a duffle bag that held everything in that locker (well, that was allowed to be in that locker). Moving was generally done in less than a hour. Idk how the military manages now with “rooms” and everything that is allowed to be in them.

Spend more time packing and moving and less time Rallypointing.

Just consider it practice for deployment. My company had to move FOBs multiple times during my deployments. Then there's the deployment and redeployment, essentially moving. You better hurry up though. Today is the 17th.

Sounds like you have slipped into the category of a soldier who seems to be on the wrong side of the chain of command. It may be time to change your thought pattern and instead of trying to go against the grain , strive to be a better soldier , many doors may just open for you. To answer your question... Your on duty 24/7 and should be able to have all your gear ready to go in a moment's notice. The personal belongings you may have are not the chains concern and are actually a privilege just like owning a vehicle and yes even getting married. The chain can tell you that your not worthy of such niceties and deny you those privileges .

STFU and move on. This is not a real problem.

How much time does it take for you and you buddies to pickup wall locker and move it to the new barracks? Bring back empty wall and foot locker back to old barracks. Strip your rack, grab foot locker and go to new barracks. Make new rack bounce a couple quarters off it and you are done! If you are deployed your house boys can probably handle the move. Been there and done that.
