SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member 3809595 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So both my wife and I have been calling pretty much every number under the sun to figure out my living situation when I PCS to Alaska next month. From what I’ve been told, NCOs are not allowed in the barracks but are not getting BAH. And for someone in my situation where my wife CANNOT come with me due to her divorce decree and child custody agreement, I’ll be forced to pay out of pocket for somewhere off post while my BAH goes towards my house in TN for my wife and kid. Can someone give me better advice or knowledge on this? 2018-07-20T11:00:08-04:00 SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member 3809595

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hey SGT. I spent 4 years up there. We put unaccompanied NCOs at the rank of E5 in the unit barracks at no cost to them. They also had GEO bachelor barracks but they might have changed all that since I left in 2014. Which unit are you going to? I know a few folks who are still there.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You should receive a waiver, however the government will not authorize two BAH unless they deploy you to an unaccompanied assignment. in this case it is not firmer to the military. However, I am sure that whomever informed you is mistaken. Call the Garrison CSM who oversees all barracks and housing to verify. Thank you for your service.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>SGT...<br />I just left Ft Winwright.... the policy is true.. they reason they did it was because the lack of space.... but my recommendation is when you get there talk to your CSM and explain the situation....<br /><br />The lack of room is really bad on post to the point that they were signing waiver for E5 (single) to go off post if they wanna it

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>WTH? If you are not allowed to live in the billets, then They have to make BAH available! Make sure that they have you as a geographical bachelor in your orders.
