So I don&#39;t believe she is eligible for BAH. Of course that is different if there are dependents involved. You could go to your finance officer and get the skinny on whether she is eligible or not.

BAH comes with her first duty station. You are not with your spouse.

My home of record was on a military base while in BCT. I had 2 dependents and I received my BAH in my second issued payment. Just wait for the next check. It’s very inconvenient but it should be there on the next one. SGT(P) Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 16 Mar 2019 11:09:33 -0400 2019-03-16T11:09:33-04:00 2019-03-15T09:51:38-04:00
