Can Soldiers living in the Barracks file "head of household" for taxes?

I understand what "head of household" is. I under stand I basically have to be unmarried and provide over half my house hold costs. Technically, I don't pay rent but I do pay for my own food (through BAS, technically) and household supplies such as cleaning, certain types of maintainance, etc. Will it come back to bite me filing like that as a single soldier in the Barracks?

Update:

I didn't realize it required that also. However, I am claiming a dependent thanks to a court agreement and the fact I have a daughter. Does that make a difference?

Update 2:

And yes, she is a child.

    You also need a related dependent. You can't file HoH, period.

    In sounds like you are "Single".

    Head of Household requires that you be supporting yourself AND another qualifying dependent; normally a child.

    Of course not.
