In the military (particulary on USAF bases) they don't call them barracks anymore, they are know "bachelor's quaters" and "bachelorette quaters"
They called them BAQ and BOQ the entire time I was enlisted.... for the transients... they had us live in "Dorms" 2+2 and then we eventually went to 1+1 and then once I was overseas as a NCO I had my own bathroom.
CBPO changed (MPF), Chow Hall changed (Dining facility)
My favorite term was the "Backdoor Draft"... also known as stop-loss.

You know 3hummers, you're right I've just been busy looking for answers and found myself commenting on other posts that I just haven’t. I’ll do that here in a minute.
As for the barracks thing, that and billets are the only thing I’ve heard them called. Maybe “B’s” but that obviously stands for barracks. Most of the ones here are 2 per room, 4 per bathroom (2 showers 1 toilet). There are brand new ones that are more like a apartment. The 82nd has pretty much all of these. You walk into like a kitchen area, of to the side you have your bathroom area (the 82nd had full tubs, haven’t been in the ones here). Then there were 2 individual rooms with walk in closets. You stay in the barracks as an E-5 and can move out as an E-6. I’ve always been married while in the army, so I’ve always had my own apartment.
You gotta love stop-loss. This last deployment we had guys within days of their ETS (day they get out) when stop loss hit. Then we got extended!
