How is The Fort Hood barracks and living conditions for a single soldier, on a scale of one to ten?

I haven't been to Fort Hood since 2001-2005. While there, there were multiple style barracks: star ships, doors inside and doors outside. depends on the unit assigned. There are multiple DFACS and Gyms through Hood so no issues there. The PX(s) and commissaries are on the opposite ends of the installation, so look to walk, bike, or get rides from friends.

Every NCO I've spoken to that's been at Hood has had one thing to say. They call it "hood" for a reason.

One of best friend's brothers was stationed at Hood back in 2012 and he said the barracks were terrible. The worst he's ever seen, in fact. And that was his 3rd duty station. This was 6 years ago however so maybe they've changed since then, but I doubt it.

Really depends on the unit you go to. My unit left old barracks when we did a rotation to Kuwait and got new barracks when we got back

When i was stationed there i loved it i had my own personnal room walk in closet and sink but i did have to share the kitchen and latrine and some of my buddys had a similar setup and others had to share everything with someone else its just based off of what unit your at but before i got out 3 years ago they was starting to rebuild all the barricks so if you get in a old one just wait and soon enough they will put you in a new one or a better one

I can confirm for you that the barracks here on fort hood are not the greatest places to live there are a few different types of the barracks each slightly better then the previous so to give you some quick info on them you have the reception barracks they are the absolute shittiest of them all you share one small common area with three other soldiers with nothing but your bunks closets microwave and fridge but that should only last about two weeks when you get to your unit they could have the next better ones where I was put I had one large common area where the room was open with "cubbyholes" where your personal area is but it's still in the open but you do have an electric range top to cook on so that's a plus. One of my battles got put in the next step up in the barracks where he still had the common area as the kitchen area but they had their own private rooms that your room mate didn't have access to. One of my other battles got lucky for a brief spell and was put in the blc barracks where he had the same set up as the previous but he also had a washer and dryer in the common area so to give them all a 1-10 I'd say the first would get about a 2 next probably a 4 the third I'd probably give a 7 or 8 and the blc ones a 9 none get a ten in my option because no matter what you have the common area where your room mate could potentially get into your stuff that you might not want them to get into in case you forget to lock it up

Give it a 4 though lol if you are 1st cav a 9 or 10
