Do NCOs who are serving stateside (specifically at Fort Carson) get their own room in the barracks?

All depends on SOP and space availability.

NCOs usually share with other NCOs. I was at Carson before I retired. Any questions you have I will try my best to answer.

It depends on the unit, the leadership, and the Barracks Utilization Report. Being a 92G and seeing that cooks on first shift are at work by 0400, I'd wager a 1SG or CSM will ensure you have a place that is close to the DFAC.

Depends on the unit you are in, the newer barracks that they built here, you would have your own room but you would share a bathroom and kitchen area with a roommate. the older barracks are set up the same way I believe just not as nice.

I know at Fort Riley, the NCOs always had their own rooms, and their suite mates tended to be other NCOs or a SPC(P) if there was no other option and rooming was that scarce.

No sponsor or looking at assignment options?

When I was at Carson 95-99, it was luck of the draw. And if you were a geographical bachelor for whatever reason, you were the first to get stuck with a roommate.

Its all unit dependent but if they have available rooms you should have your own space but if they are lacking rooms the opposite will occur. As long as you're not with a spc or below no regs are being violated. Worse comes to worse you can always contact fsbp and find out the specific regs for Carson.

They will if they have space in your barracks. They generally try to not mix Joes with NCOs

SGT,
From what I understand, yes they can. When I was serving stateside at Yakima Training Center, Bothe my commander and 1SG had their own rooms in the barracks. I would advise asking your first line leader, and if he/she does not have an answer right away, I assure you they will by COB or at final formation

I know when I was at Fort Carson you would get your own room with a kitchenette. The barracks there are pretty nice compared to a lot of places. But you get the option for off post housing as well as you're an E5.

From my experience, at least in the unit I was in, if the Sargent was single- yes. Also if they have enough rooms in the barracks building

They try to not mix NCO's and junior enlisted. With that being said it depends on barracks space and unit numbers residing in the alotted rooms per unit. Quick answer "it depends"

No you do not unless you live in the terrible infantry barracks with no heat.
