Thanks for the info. I figured they weren't carpeted. Growing up as an Army brat, and being in Govt Quarters twice in my Coast Guard career, I'm sorta apprehensive.
Still would be nice to show the wife some pictures if anyone has any.
As far as DLA goes...

U5610 ELIGIBILITY
A. Member With Dependents.
A member with dependents is entitled to a DLA when dependents:
1. Relocate in connection with a PCS,
2. Move in connection with the closure or realignment of a military installation (see par. U5630-B12),
3. Move to a designated place incident to an evacuation (IAW pars. U6012 and U6059), or
4. As otherwise authorized in this Part.
B. Member without Dependents.
A member without dependents is authorized DLA when:
1. Relocated in connection with a PCS to a PDS where Government quarters are not assigned, or
2. Ordered to, and actually does, move in connection with the closure or realignment of a US Installation (see par. U5630-B12).
In the circumstances of par. U5610-B1, DLA entitlement continues to exist if Government quarters' assignment and occupancy upon arrival at a new PDS is for a period of 60 or fewer days. When calculating the 60 days, exclude days the member is deployed or TDY. In justifiable cases, up to 60 additional days may be authorized/approved by the member's commanding officer for a maximum of 120 days. NOTE: See pars. U5630-B14 and U5630-E for regulations applicable to member-married-to-member couples.
And there's some other stuff as far as receiving DLA twice in a Fiscal Year.. but, there seems to be a positive spin ...
Q5: Can I receive more than one DLA payment in the same year?
Answer: DLA payment limitations are based on a fiscal year. Ordinarily members are entitled to only one DLA payment per fiscal year. However, there are some exceptions. For more information, please see JFTR, par. U5620. If you still have questions please contact your local finance office.
