<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Completely depends on unit. If you get a place stay west of the interstate and farther north.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Probably not on the BAH. You could always try and get an ETP, but chances of that are slim to none.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Single E5 is going to the barracks. Sorry brother. I just left Raider Brigade there and it was like that post wide. <br /><br />SSG Taylor

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So far no single E-5 and below are allowed BAH. If you are an outdoors type of person this is a great area to be at. All units here are busy training so be ready to hit the ground running.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Unless there's a shortage of rooms, most likely not. I know when I was there 3 years ago, E-5s stayed in the barracks and usually were floor managers. As far as the area, I own a house in Falcon, Colorado and love the area. A short drive and I'm on North Powers with all the amenities. The huge downside, it's a long drive to post. As far as any area, farther North from Carson, the better.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No. You'll have to live in the Barracks unless your unit signs off on a "certificate of non-availability" to reside off post which has to be approved by the garrison commander. The area is nice but carson is a different breed of army.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Is there anyone/thing there stopping me from just paying for a place out of pocket then?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I just left there in July 2015. You probably will not get BAH as a single E5, the barracks will probably have NCO rooms and it could depend on your command also. as for the area, great area a lot to do there and in the surrounding areas. Denver is only about 1 hr away.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you haven't already log on to ACT.COM and comlete the sponsor request. If you have not heard from your gaining unit or sponsor by end of week next week, let me know. Like said by others if you are an out doors person, you'll love it. Lots of snow at the resorts right now.<br /><br />Good luck and Welcome to the Mountain Post.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>On my experience as long as the units have room in the barracks they will place you in post quarters from E-1 to E-5. E-6 and above get to live off post if they are single. SGTs usually get a room to themselves without roommates. The unit I am in have PFC and SPC living off post as the barracks room are limited. As rooms open up they will place you int he barracks but rooms are design for two occupants so if capacity reaches their max then they will have you fill out the paperwork to move off post and receive BAH. I wont recommend to get married just to get BAH but I will suggest you do your job and attend the next available promotion board. Once a SSG they have to move you off post.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I doubt it. I'm a single E5 and I'm still in the barracks. I've been told the only way to get BAH is by getting married or promoted.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No, you will receive that information at post inproccessing.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No, there is more than enough barracks space. However, most of the barracks are run by a civilian organization and not your company.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>nice, BIG town, lots to do, run on your own EVERY DAY...the air is thin thin thin! It will take you awhile to adjust physiologically. I think, don't know for sure, you will be placed in barracks...at least that is what happened with me way back when clinton was in office...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Coming to Carson will be a great opportunity. Lots to do recreationally off and on post. And good training to be had. As for BAH. That is a unit decision. As others have stated. If there is room in the barracks you will most likely get a room. This is a discussion you will have once arriving and getting to know your SL and above. Good luck.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The pikes peak region where Ft Carson is located has multiple activities that you can do when you are not deployed. You are about an hour away from Denver to the North and Pueblo is only about 40 minutes away. Don't go to Pikes Peak for at least a week after you get there or they will be life flighting you to the hospital for oxygen depravation.
