Im deploying and want to know about an Exception to Policy BAH waiver to move my family to a different city and collect different BAH

If you're planning to move your family to a city/state with a higher BAH, that will probably raise some eyebrows. CA and NY especially come to mind. If it's for the extra money, I'll tell you that that's the wrong path to take and that your leadership might do a 15-6. Army values apply here. A flawed character will catch up to you sooner or later. This is why you see General Officers do unethical or immoral things and get fired or demoted.

It is an exception to policy request that has to go to the Army G-1. Start with your S-1. However, based upon my experience save yourself the time as it will be denied. What you are doing is not in the best interest of the government it is in your best interest. It would help your case a lot though if you could explain how this actually benefits the government and isn't just something your family wants. Like all requests though the worst they can say is no, but it takes time to submit.

Without knowing all the details, this sounds like it is bordering on being a bit unethical. What is "different" about the BAH? My assumption is that you are not wanting to get this waiver b/c the BAH will be more at the new residence. Without knowing all the details though, this just sounds suspicious.
