After my husband's overseas PCS this summer, while I remain in college in Florida, will he still get BAH for me and also get OHA?

I am to be married into the marines(i am not enlisted) within the month. My spouse just found out that he is going to be re stationed overseas starting this summer. His base is in North Carolina and i am going to college in Florida. I want to clarify the pay we will be getting. Will he get Over seas housing allowance and will he still get BAH for me? How does that work?

When I was staitioned in Hanau, Germany we did'nt get housind allowance. I'm not sure about BAH for you, how long will he be staitioned there? You may still be in school in Florida. Are you joining the Marines after school?

He will only get BAH for you if he is moved somewhere you can't go.

Most likely he will get BAH for where he is stationed to support a home and it will continue while he is deployed.

If he is PCSing he will live in the Barracks and draw BAH for the states, provided you are in his orders. He will learn all of this during his PCS briefing.

You asked this question yesterday and I answered it for you. Re-asking isn’t going to change the answer. He will reside in the barracks and receive BAH for you granted you are on his orders and can provide a lease.
