Will I receive bah for my child living overseas at his area? The reason I ask is it will take 6 months to get my son and my fiancé to the us.

That Is A Good Question, I Had One Of My Soldiers In Korea. That Had Re -enlisted A Few Time's Over There and Had Child With Korean Women. It Was Fun Trying To Get The Paper Work Done. We Needed The Same Info. You Need To Go The Dears People To Find Out. There Seem's To Be Questions Of Country And Citizenship.

In the Air Force, you would receive BAH for wherever your dependents are located. Navy may be different though

I can't speak for the Navy, but in the Army the answer is generally no as you'll receive the BAH for the service member's location. There are however all sorts of hidden or little known regulations and I have known people who qualified for BAH for two locations (SM stationed overseas on an unaccompanied tour with no available on post housing or barracks space but had a qualifying dependent stateside).

Thank you the reason I ask is because I will be in school not necessarily at my Permanent station. Also I am going into the Air Force now.

Now you're just making this difficult and you are really gonna need an expert. So a few things you need to answer so someone can help you out is what your status is while you are at the school. Are you TDY and return before you PCS or are you TDY enroute? Once you have that figured out it would help if you include that bit of information in your original post.

That's only possible if you have the primary custody of your child. It just became complicated since you said "fiancee and child". I believe that you're just giving support to your child. You are just entitled to BAQ-DIFF. Go to your nearest finance office and inquire about your situation.
