As a low ranking enlisted man, he shared a large room with one roommate; a berthing compartment the same size as his room would house 30 sailors on a ship. Hell, their enlisted quarters were better than the staterooms our commissioned officers had.
The bad thing about the Air Force (compared to the Navy) is that you'll generally be stationed in one place, and that's it. If that one place really sucks (Minot, North Dakota, Greenland, etc.) then you're just screwed. In the Navy, though, if you're on a ship, the ship will go all over the world, and you will travel to interesting places.

on the other hand, that place might not suck. in my 15 years in the af, i was stationed at albuquerque, madrid spain, colorado springs, san diego, and bitburg germany. went tdy to some not really desireable places, saudi arabia nd the lik, but that was temporary.
