I am a SGT(P) and I just pcsd very recently from Hawaii to Fort Jackson on drill orders, in Hawaii I lived in housing for about a year 1/2 on an exception to policy. I’m tracking they don’t carry over from post to post. But the issue I’m running into is I cannot take possession of my HHG because the barracks here are inadequate for the amount of stuff I have. Couch’s, various lawn care equipment, other furniture pieces etc...I kind of foolishly assumed that being promotable and on drill orders would be enough to be entitled to housing. Anyway my question is does anyone know of any other ways to get BAH without going through the process of an ETP since housing only cares about the barracks being full? Also not interested in getting married lol

Not likely unless the barracks are at 90% occupancy especially being on drill orders. You need to go to transportation and set up storage of the items you won’t be able to take to the Barracks

Have you actually contacted the school house to see if you are required to reside in barracks as a Drill Sergeant? I can't imagine the Jackson has many non-trainee barracks since it's almost entirely made up of schools.

Mostly a comment, unfortunately no solid advice to add here, but I'm very surprised a single E5 drill sergeant has to live in a barracks. That is... Very strange. Otherwise, good luck to you, don't let 'em slide!
