Staph infection 2 weeks out from BCT

[Red Flag 1]

True enough. My thought was documentation should he pop positive on a urine screen. Anything that shows a doc's script for the pain meds. He should have a printed instruction sheet with a list of perscribed meds on them, that would be best. Thanks, goon.

And bring a lease!

Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise, bring a lease, you're entitled to BAH during basic and AIT. If you don't have one, go to staples and buy one.
They tried to screw me and others out of that when I enlisted.

RedFlag1-Thanks! I have a follow up appointment, ill have them write me up some extra documentation that proves I'm good to go. Thanks again for the input, much appreciated!

Paradus-Please forgive my ignorance but could you elaborate? I have a clue as to what you're talking about. Is there something I missed?

Have it as a back up, but don't go pointing shit out - that note won't do you any good on ship day.

No worries.
I should start with this, Are you going active or Guard/Reserve?

Active duty.

Absolutely. I'm not saying shit about f*ck.

 

[pardus]

Active duty.

OK, I'm not too up with the exact rule for you as AD but I'll break it down a little.

When you go on schools/deployments, you are entitled to BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) which is an allowance to help you pay for the house/apt/room etc... that you are still paying for while you are away.
You are required to produce a lease agreement for that, sometimes a notarized one, sometimes not (Ive done both).

The rate is based on your HOR (Home Of Record) where you live when you ship out to the school etc... (Basic in your case).

If active that only works if you are married.

 

[pardus]

If active that only works if you are married.

OK thanks.
Even if you live off base?

 

[Jay]

Yeah, while she's ready for that were gonna spend time as a couple while I'm in the military to make sure we can both handle it. Definitely going to get that knocked out after the fact though!!

 

[TLDR20]

As a private you don't get to live off base man, unless married.

 

[pardus]

Yeah I know, I meant once you are able to live of base.

 

[medicchick]

As a private you don't get to live off base man, unless married.

Even then the BAH amount a private gets may (probably) won't cover an apartment. E-5 pay in Alaska didn't cover rent in anyplace good. In Georgia it almost covered rent but that was it.

 

[medicchick]

BAH is only for married personal (not sure if you are over X rank you can get it) in AD (or it was when RP was in). You have to have command permission to live off post if you are single unless your rank is X. RP was given permission to live off post in Georgia when I was moving down and received BAS until we were married then BAH kicked in. Our room mate only got BAS. The rate/amount is determined based on where you are stationed along with rank.


*subject to change in the last few years but that's how it was the whole time I was an AD spouse*

When is the last time you were receiving BAH? As an E-5 in GA I enjoyed a very generous BAH rate.

 

[pardus]

So does anyone know if a single person on AD gets BAH for living off base?

 

[medicchick]

Georgia was E-4 pay in '04, in Alaska the rate is nice but all the apartment buildings that you'd actually want to rent from jack the rates up to match E-5 BAH pay for an average. In Georgia we were renting a 3 bedroom house in Columbus that was shared with a roommate. I did go back and check (I still have all the LESs saved), it was more than I remembered by a few hundred dollars so I was wrong there.

The only people I've heard of who have were E-7 or higher, officers, or there was no room in the barracks in they were lower enlisted. I'm sure there are others but those are the only cases I have direct knowledge of.

Only if they are authorized to do so by the commander. In batt., usually they moved you out once you were a senior E-4
