What are the barracks like at Camp Arifjan in Zone 6? Do they differ by rank?

According to the below PDF link, housing is based on rank and they try to have people no more than one rank difference roomed together.

When I was there, there were whole platoons in each building. Sometimes a different platoon would split a building with you.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member when I was there housing was split up by mission (what operation you supported). Different missions were in different zones, but overall they had the senior folks in one area. The housing ranges from a building with 3 people in one room with no barriers (I saw some put up their wall lockers and ponchos to make makeshift walls) to having two people per room in a large building to having an individual room. Be prepared upon arrival to being in a massive building with loads of bunk beds and wall lockers with no ability for privacy or breakup by rank, but only by male/female until you get your permanent housing.

Good luck!
