In the Navy, we tend to have an attitude of we will take what they give us. It's one thing to complain about what we think we should have, and another for what you are legally entitled to.
BTW, I live close to my drill location so it's not a factor for me. I'll looking out for our people who don't. (Most of them were P-3 guys and don't even know what a boat is.
)Knowledge is power.

With that argument, let's give up all entitlements. No grievances allowed because you could be on a ship.

I'm with you, and don't disagree, I'm just saying I dont think(I'm probably in the minority here) that an increase in rank means I shouldn't have to double up if the base or command required it. I also don't think you're 'legally' entitled to anything in terms of who you live with. Just not a big deal in the grand scheme of things IMHO.

Not always true.... I work at an ANG Combat Rediness Training Center where whe have 450 rooms. when units come in for training at our facility only O-5s and above and E8s and above are single billeted. Now.. if you are a transient air crew you will be single billeted. But for training.. or drill weekends... double up.

Thanks for the discussion. I am coming to the conclusion that there must not be a minimum entitlement for lodging, at least in the Navy. Either that or nobody know's where it's written.
Thanks.

I spent a year in Kabul on a cot in a conex box with a door and a window with one other guy (he had his own cot). I think the standards have been lowered since the good ole days.
I'm pretty sure the JFTR doesn't care about an O4. It'll be up to your command and the local base regs as to what you are "entitled."

Operational necessity, I've slept under a bush or in a ditch more times than I care to recall. But there's no excuse for it in CONUS, in garrison.

Interesting Rick, I'm a GS and a Navy Reservist, don't recall reading or being told there were standards of living that as either, I was entitled to. Do you have a link for this instruction or are you referring to the JFTR?
