As in living quarters? Usually you live in barracks if you're in basic training, or in a military academy (like me; VMI), but if you're active and passed basic, you'll probably be living in an apartment either on or near base.

you dont get a money card though. at first you are at your unit. if you live over 50 miles they will provide a hotel for you or you stay at the unit. when you start to train then you stay in barracks and it is like going to AT. you get fed 2 times a day and useally dont need a meal card. like when you are at AT you get fed and dont need a meal card. you are also then put on active army so you get all the benefits as if you were active army. just as a guard member you dont always get the nice barracks. useally the old world war 2 barracks.

The Army will provide you with a place to stay, depending on your rank, married/single, dependents, distance to travel from your home now. When you are activated you are almost regular army. There will be plenty of people to remind you that you are an activated reservist. That is what happened for me, I knew these people, on the reserve and active side both.

Activated = regular army

If you are guard or reserve that becomes activated, you become regular army. Once you get your orders.
Just like when you are guard or reserve going to a school...you are active duty while in school.
When you are mobalized you are housed whever they decide to put you. Most likely barracks.

When a reservist or guardsman is activated, he is treated essentially the same as any soldier on active duty. If your position would normally be provided quarters and meals then you will be provided quarters and meals.
He receives medical care as everyone else and he receives administrative support services as everyone else.
There are some distinct differences, but you didn't ask about those things (such as family support when not near an installation).

No, the barracks for activated troops are much older, but yes you get barracks space.

Yes you will get treated like an active duty soldier. You might be put on rations where they give you money to buy food or you will be put on a meal card to eat at a dfac.

CHECK WITH YOUR RECRUITER, AND DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING HE SAYS TO YOU. I HEAR YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR SOME OF YOUR MEALS AND THINGS. WHAT EVER HE SAYS, MAKE HIM PUT IT IN WRITING TO YOU. IN ENGLISH, NO TRICKY WORDING. WHAT YOU GET, AND WHAT YOU PAY FOR. SCHOOLING, ETC. THE MILITARY IS LIKE BUYING A NEW CAR, THE DEALERSHIP ALWAYS WINS THE BEST OF THE DEAL.
