What regulation addresses BAH for IET sailors who choose to geographic bachelor?

5.31K

I was told I may get my BAH request denied because the navy is not authorizing BAH for IET sailors who choose to geo Bach. I am in a location where it is a substantial amount and I need the extra money to support my family.

I have not been able to find this reg and my command is also looking for me. Does anyone here know?

My A School is a permanent PCS it is over a year long.

Are you attending your A School? Is your A School Orders permanent change of station or are they TDY in route? How long is your school? Either way, this you guide you to what you need to submit.

I suspect that you are TDY to your A School, in which case you need to submit a Delayed Dependent Travel Request. That will allow you to pull BAH for your home location until you hit your permanent duty station and move your family.

CPT Lawrence Cable - Thank you, this is where the situation is weird. My family is in one location, I am at a permanent PCS. Yesterday I was told they are not authorizing BAH for me at all. Not BAH where I am nor BAH where my family is.

You do know that the Navy will pay to move your family on a PCS move, then pay to move them again at the end of the tour.
Do your orders state unaccompanied?

Excellent response Sir. But, I'm a little confused about His situation. I recall when I was going through YN A school at NAS Meridian I received BAH while I stayed in the barracks.Even as a GEO Bachelor He should be rec BAH as well.
