Ask, but check and verify. <br />Available room, current Travel and housing business rules, School rules, rank, kids ages, all have a play in it.<br /><br />You will need to put some trust in the folks creating your orders, the local travel section processing you. And a check on things on the DLI end to confirm.<br /><br />Dont forget to ask about travel costs, are they covered for your family?., if so how much will it cover it?<br />If your going to have to live off the DLI campus, what is the current rate and look at what kind of a place that gets you.<br /><br />Monterey California is not a cheap location to live in. Job opportunities and day care is also not the best.. So consider ALL of the things that go in to bringing your family.<br />How much will BAS be for you while there, consider local food prices.<br />Gas prices, all other prices for what it costs to buy, live, enjoy the area. <br /><br />I grew up in the area, and was stationed there for most of 7 years...It was a treasure spot of the Army for a long time... Im glade I was there when I was a bit better off as a dual military couple of NCO's, and awesome new housing on post.Response by SGM Erik Marquez made Nov 28 at 2018 11:51 AM2018-11-28T11:51:06-05:002018-11-28T11:51:06-05:00LTC Jeff Shearer4165584<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Most were just young troops however it was a PCS move.<br /><br />I did Spanish and it is the shortest. Some languages/courses are much longer. All that to say I is certainly worth checking outResponse by LTC Jeff Shearer made Nov 28 at 2018 11:56 AM2018-11-28T11:56:58-05:002018-11-28T11:56:58-05:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member4166949<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As of yesterday, you can bring your family to DLI, it is a PCS. Here is the webpage to housing services for specific questions.<a target="_blank" href="http://www.monterey.army.mil/Housing/housing_main.html">http://www.monterey.army.mil/Housing/housing_main.html</a><br />There are dozens of married SM’s in my company alone. Off post military housing takes all of your BAH, which runs around $1700/month for E1-E4, but you can find other places if you prefer. Always check your orders first of course.<br /><br />You will not be given BAH during your time at AIT, as it is not long enough for a PCS. 19 weeks to be specific. There were people who’s spouses moved out to Sierra vista for the duration of the school, however it was not on the army’s dime. <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">
