Hi, recently signed contract with Army as E-4 and now am working on my financial arrangement before shipping out. I am single, so I would be living in barracks and eating in the chow hall (BaH and BaS apparently are not available in my case). I would like to know if there might be any other allowances available after completing BCT and AIT. Any idea is much appreciated.

It depends where you will be stationed. If you are overseas, you will receive a COLA allowance which is used to offset the cost of living. You can also get your enlistment bonus once you report to your permanent duty station, if you received an enlistment bonus.

Thanks Sarge! Even if we are required to stay in barracks, we are still eligible for COLA depending on locations, right?
