akscott60 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I knew single guys that got houses on post, or had a roommate on post in a house. My stick buddy did choose to stay in the Q. Quote
mcclainm Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 So it'll be on an option on what I do then? Quote
akscott60 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 It should be. You probably will just want to talk to housing when you can. We were allowed to when I was at WOCS. Quote
d10 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 What about good apartment complexes and property management companies to work with? Any advice on the good ones or good apartment complexes you'd recommend in the Enterprise area? There aren't a lot of apartments in Enterprise, but you can rent a good townhome for less than $1k Quote
2ndGen Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I knew single guys that got houses on post, or had a roommate on post in a house. My stick buddy did choose to stay in the Q. Right now they are giving single guys two bedroom houses on post, in Allen Heights. Not the nicest housing here at Rucker, but very well accommodating for a single guy. I even know of married no kids couples with three bedroom houses in Bowden Terrace. Nine times out of ten, you will get what you ask for within reason. Quote
akscott60 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 That is good to hear. Are WO1s getting those new standalone houses they are building? Or are they still perm party? Quote
brackac Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 The convenience of living on base, primarily the very short commute, is worth it. The difference between 5 - 8 minutes from the parking lot to the front door and 25 minutes was nice. Quote
akscott60 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Exactly. I lived in Allen heights. It was a quick commute to Academics and Hanchey. It was well worth it. 1 Quote

Joe_P148 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 @ electron.. It's no cake walk for home owners either, flight school renters so far have been some of the best and worst tenants. I fired realty executives this summer, apparently they were ripping both sides off. Quote
Talon64 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Which ones are the nice ones? Bowden and Munson? Anybody have an idea on the square footage? I guess I could go look it up. I think I've tried and they weren't listed. Quote
Joepatriot Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Bowden Terrace is pretty nice. 1600+ SQ 3BR 2B with a yard and single garage. The wife and I dig it. This company manages the housing on post. Check it out. http://rucker.corviasmilitaryliving.com/ Quote
Talon64 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Yea, I've looked through those but I only see pictures of what seems to be the housing office. I only see like three pictures of the actual homes. I'm thinking of making a trip there before my class date to scope the area out. Quote
UH60L-IP Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Not to be Mr. Obvious but if you look at their home page there is an image that says, "Family Housing." Click on the image and you watch a video telling you all about the homes. http://rucker.corviasmilitaryliving.com/ It does feature just the new housing and not the older ones you may get assigned though. Quote
Talon64 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Thanks for the input, uh60. I've checked the site out and the virtual tours. If that's the new housing I really hope I don't get put in the older housing lol. It seems that my entire 10 year military career I've gotten the shaft w military housing. Hopefully my luck changes in the Army. Quote
mcclainm Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 If I decide to live in on post housing, am I forced to register my firearms? Quote
mcclainm Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 I've never lived on a military base. ARe there restrictions to what you can have in your on base housing? I own suppressors and short barreled rifles. All legal of course Quote
akscott60 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 All are fine. Suppressors are not firearms. Don't have to register them. Quote

Ardo09203 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 All are fine. Suppressors are not firearms. Don't have to register them.Not sure how the Army or UCMJ (or whatever governs the registration of personally owned firearms on post) views firearms and supressors. But as a FFL that deals in Title 1 and Title 2(NFA) firearms. I can tell you that supressors are most certianly considered firearms by the NFA and BATFE. Quote

akscott60 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Suppressors are not registered on Campbell. I would figure the same at Rucker. Quote
mcclainm Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Do your NFA firearms belong to you or a trust? They're in a trust. Quote
Ardo09203 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Are firearms only required to be registered on post but allowed to be kept in your home, or do they need to be stored on post at the armory? In the case they need to be stored in the armory, you may run into an issue with the SBR's as they are not in your possesion. Quote
