I am a geobachelor not receiving bah. I am given a barracks room. Am I allowed to live off post of I am renting out a room at friends house. Should I receive a counseling stating I am allowed but still have to maintain a barracks room? How should this counseling look.

1. At your own expense- No BAH, No sep rats. 2. Only with your Commanders permission. 3. You will maintain a bunk and or wall locker in the billets with your TA-50, etc in it.

We used to have a weekend room or roommate off the books so to speak. It used to be that an E-4 and below could not live off post unless given permission by the Commander. There should be a reduced BAH rate if given permission to live of post. Its about accountability for Company level leadership. I remember I maintained my room during the week, come Friday after being off duty, would drive over to my friends of which I rented a room from. It doesn't hurt to ask your chain of command (ask S-1). especially if there are incoming privates and the barracks need extra rooms....good luck Hooah!!
