Do Specialists at Camp Casey, South Korea live in shared barracks or do they get their own barracks rooms?

I am a 15W who will be going to Camp Casey, South KoreaCant wait. Just want to know if we get our own barracks rooms; don't have a sponsor to ask yet.

Honestly, I don't know. But, being a SPC, it would be best to just plan on sharing a room.

It's been about 18 years since I was there, but as SFC Livingston said, plan on sharing a room. You may even get a KATUSA as a roommate.

Since Casey is a small base compared to Humphrys most likely you will share a room. You should have a sponsor. Have you filled your ACT yet on your end or even looked at it to see if you have one.

Count on having a room mate.
If your roomie is KATUSA, lock, double lock, boobie trap, and triple lock your stuff.
Those dudes would steal your radio and leave the music.
I don't know if it's gotten better, but when I was there, theft was a massive issue. Always KATUSA's!

Different room, but communal bathroom and kitchen.

Never been to Korea, maybe someday.

My experience thus far however is that it's luck of the draw. I've been in three man rooms and in open bays or tents. You're not getting a single room that's almost certain.

If you end up in a bay area or even in a 3-4 man room, figure out a way to section your areas off. Easiest way is with 550 cord and a few sheets or your woobie. Create a curtain wall and use your wall lockers as physical barriers to section off your area. I've seen some get really elaborate, hell I even put a desk in my sleep area so I could do work and use my laptop in my room. The open bay/tent, that was not an option.
