I'm being told from housing at my next assignment that even though I'll be promoted probably within the next six months that I still have to take E6 housing. This seems really inconvenient, especially if we will have to move once I get pinned. Haven't been to SLC yet. Is there anyway around this?

If nothing else, I can assure you that it is nothing personal.... When I was a brand new Major, assigned to Maxwell AFB, I was given E6 housing. Now, I of course did have the option to live off base (but I was only there for 10 months for ILE), and the housing office did adjust the cost of the housing since it was "substandard" (I am sure you have heard USAF members use this term before!), but just know that they will offer housing below your current (or future) rank to you, me, and everyone else--no matter where you PCS to--for the rest of your career. Smile, and make the best of it if you are willing/able to do so.

You'll have to take what Housing gives you. The way they're all independently operated leaves you with little to no choice but getting the runaround.

Their is always an exception to the rule. I was a SSG stationed at Huachuca and I was able to get into the Bonnie Blink area, which at the time was senior NCO housing. I made SFC shortly after moving up there, but at the time I was only a SSG.

Same boat. My post was from a little ways back but they ended up placing us in Bonnie Blink as well. I love this neighborhood since it's the old part of base. Pretty neat and the housing is surprisingly nicer than what we initially thought just by peering thru the windows. Much bigger than from what we saw.
