NRSW is not abiding by any regulation when giving out Navy housing on base - at least not at NAS Lemoore. They are mix and match up there and with more and more becoming PPV you will see more of it.
In the past I had heard that there was an instruction, and I know that the AF had used it, which put into writing how much square footage each rank was afforded.
MCAS Yuma (and the old MCAS El Toro) had some of the worse officer accommodations that I had seen at any base. In Osan, my squadron was billeted in barracks that the AF had deemed unsat (directly across from the Exchange for those that have been there). They were some of the nicest rooms we stayed in anywhere in Korea. Finally, the Canadian AF came to MCAS Beaufort for a training exercise one time on our dime. We were going to put them up in the same barracks that our Marines lived in. They did a quick sweep and informed me that those rooms would not do. I told them that we didn't have the funds for rooms out in town and there were no other opening on base. They said no problem and made one quick call and had their own funding and enjoyed two weeks at the Holiday Inn
