I'll be PCSing soon to JBLM. What's the barracks situation in the 555th engineer brigade? Are they individual or open bay?

You may be moving into newer barracks I was stationed there and since getting out I've seen plenty of new barracks that make them live like kings compared to the ones I would stay in. If you're at triple Nickle though they are shared rooms or if your lucky shared bay but rooms with doors. I lived off base I had kids but I spent plenty of time in the barracks and mayhem persisted for a while. As for now, I am sure you will be in one of four quads. No worries your young walk, the gym is a stone's throw away the Warrior Zone which was built in 2013 is for you young bucks to play games watch movies drink eat, etc. A few chow halls to choose from if they are even open at a time? I digress you'll love it here, and the 555th 864th is the best Unit in the world. B co 864th(OEF07-08), 617th 864th, 585th 864th 555th Batt(OEF10-11)... not biased at all. Good luck soldier be safe don't do anything that'll get you sent to the gate with a boot to the behind. Listen and follow orders be at the right place at the right time, have the right uniform on and always be 15 min prior to 15 min prior.


do not worry the old WW2 barracks are gone and that style if that's what you were getting at oh and if you're a new booty Pvt E fuzzy do not be a tommy tuff nutts nor a billy bada*s but most importantly never be a Jody or a blue falcon.

If you end up in the 864th the barrack aren’t nice at all you will have to share a room with someone else with just a fridge and a microwave for the two of you unless you pin 5 or CPL, then you get the same room for yourself.
