I'm enlisting in the army, while my wife is in the USCG, how does dual military BAH and housing work? Just want to know in advance so as to prepare for the worst/best case scenario.

Army Announces End to Geographic Bachelors
The Army has now announced an end to the geographic bachelor program. Soldiers with dependents, drawing a housing allowance can no longer live in barracks.

I just hope with new laws, they don't get to screw us dual military couples with BAH, I was thinking I would be made to stay in the barracks no matter what and not get BAH, making only my wife get hers. It's all good...Thanks again.

You can always show them the information that’s provided because it could be they’re not aware of the change. Ehije Dickson

The higher ranking individual will receive BAH with Dep and the lower ranking individual receive BAH without Dep.

Now you know how things change in the Army, lol...it can be a challenge keeping up with the changes, this is why I always share information with everyone.

SFC (Join to see) - I mean, I already understood that the military changed policy all the time. That's why I added the little caveat "unless things have changed"

I am dual military and if you do not have children you both will receive WITHOUT. If you do have children one of you will get WITH. You can live on or off post but the military will take all your Bah. I recommend offpost. But the thing is if the military can’t co locate you due to coast guard bases and army bases not being close together you will both be GEO bachelors. And will live in the barracks and not collect BAH. But will receive family sep.

SPC Weaver, the Military did sway with the Geographic bachelor. So they will both receive BAH without dependents if there are no children.
