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.

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.

I did at Huachuca. I was a SSG (P) at the time and they offered me housing in the senior NCO area. At the time, which has been a few years so things could have changed was that a SFC had to have a three bedroom house.

Well, I hope we are that lucky. Just sucks that E7's who end up visiting Huachuca for just six months or so are able to get E7 housing, but a permanent party E6(P) is unable.

I know things have changed since I have retired but with the switch to the private housing on Huachuca I’m not sure what they are doing anymore. Bottom line is good luck and enjoy your time at Huachuca.

For Fort Huachuca it is correct. I also PCSed as a promotable E6. Now that I am E7 I am on the waiting list but I am basically at the bottom and every time someone is added I get moved down so I may never get E7 and up housing.
Which really sucks cause it is a lot better than the current housing I am in.
But the housing I am in now is not bad.

Depends on who's managing the housing and what their rules/processes are. If it's privatized, the answer is whatever is stated in the contract. The other thing is even if there is E7 housing, no units may be available when you show up. This is one of those "results will vary" situations. It flips the other way as well. I remember staying in E-7 quarters as an O-5. Glad to have a roof over my head. Sometimes the grade demographics are way different than the housing scheme laid out 20-30 years prior.

The block I live on at Ft Huachuca, there are E-5 to E-9 and a O-3. Maybe don’t pay attention to rank so much and focus on neighbors?

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.
