Here is the deal. When a soldier is single and below a certain rank which varies depending on barracks availability they must maintain a barracks room. This means that they will not be receiving a housing allowance but, if they are willing to pay out of their own money or have a friend that they can stay with, they can actually live off post. If a soldier is married (as I am assuming your HUSBAND is) then he can request on-post housing or he can take the housing allowance and live off post. Sometimes on-post housing has a waiting list so availability will different depending on what post you are looking at. Technically the answer to your question is "no" because on post-housing for families are not referred to as barracks. There are housing offices on each post that will have people who can answer your questions about the specific post you are going to. He should be able to get their contact info when he in-processes or, if he is just new to be being married (rather than new to the post), he can go to the welcome center and ask. Good luck.

No, no family can live in the Army barracks. Barracks are for the soldiers not their families. There is however base housing, or you can live off post with your husband. However, when things are going on in the Military at times everyone has to be in the barracks that are Army personnel.

nope. Most junior enlisted share a barracks room, or at the very least share a common bathroom.
Besides.. why on earth would you WANT to live in barracks, when you qualify for BAH or MFH in the first place?
Lemmee guess.. he's in training or on Uncampanied orders...not a good idea, he can get into a LOT of trouble for having unauthorized guests in his barracks. and they are NEVER allowed to have members of the opposite sex in their barracks..ever...

Ah this question made me laugh. Since your husband is married and sounds like he has dependants he sould get a housing allowance and you can live off post or try for on post housing in an actual house.

No, why do not just get military housing like all the other military families. It is why they pay extra for housing to families.

Do you mean MQ? I am afraid not. Only wives and children, although you may be able to get a dispensation in extreme circumstances.
