For a couple of months my friend in the Air Force was stationed at Hampton Air Force Base while my ship was in port in Norfolk. He shared a large room with one roommate. IIRC the room had an attached, private bathroom. Basically, this was the equivalent of a stateroom for an officer, only larger, and only the captain had a private head. So basically their no-rank enlisted men had better quarters than our officers.
When I took him on a tour of the ship and showed him the berthing compartments with their 3-high bunk beds, he was horrified. In a space the size of his barracks room, the Navy would have squeezed in at least 20 guys.
