Ditto.

Left SW-provided Pensacola housing a month ago. $500/month and paid in advance from my CC, which they required. I was "told" my payment would be pro-rated by day if I left early. It wasn't, but I didn't fight because I only left a day or two before the end of the month.

It was easy button housing with almost zero paperwork/effort and I lucked out because I had a two-bedroom apartment to myself for two months (minus 7 days). Other guys I talked to were double bunked in three-bedroom apartments. The whole arrangement was not managed in a way I would manage it, but that pretty much applied to the whole operation there. And that's all I'll say about that.

The guys I ran into that camped or found alternate housing all seemed happy, so I really think the bottom line for a housing decision should be what you want. I had a quiet apartment where I could focus, study, and turn that Hobbs meter. Others wanted the family time, had $$$ concerns, were balancing reserve time, etc.
