My chain of command allows E5 to move out of barracks since it's full. Will I still get to live off post at next duty station? If not all the furniture and stuff will be thrown away and I am wondering would it be a wise move to live off post. Does anyone know if I'm eligible to keep or not??

It goes by duty station, but E5s are only allowed to live off post by exception. Usually the barracks you're staying in must be close to capacity, or they have limited capacity already and don't allow E5s to stay on post.
You could always look for a furnished place

Generally not! It all depends on available quarters at the new station. Also keep in mind that they can also retract the benefit if they have a situation where the barracks are open. Obviously have to allow you to clear your lease first. The point being, buy what you need and but it cheap. Thank you for your service.

My guess is, unless it's full as well, SGT's are not allocated BAH, unless obviously they have dependents, therefore you will be required to set up shop in the barracks
