For the life of me I cannot find where I read it but I remember reading something similar. Is anyone at DLI right now and if so what is the housing situation really like? For a single person. I will be E-3 going into bootcamp because of college credits.

I can't speak to DLI directly, but in general during A-school you're living in the barracks unless you're married. Once you get into the fleet, that's when the E-5 and above comes in since that's when you start getting BAH. If a certain base doesn't have room in the barracks there
are situations where they would authorize a housing stipend and you could get off base house (but this is the exception, not the standard).
I would bank on being in the barracks. If they run out of space then they'll address it on a case by case basis, but they'll do what they can to find you a barracks room on base.
