What regulation addresses BAH for IET sailors who choose to geographic bachelor?

I was told I may get my BAH request denied because the navy is not authorizing BAH for IET sailors who choose to geo Bach. I am in a location where it is a substantial amount and I need the extra money to support my family.

I have not been able to find this reg and my command is also looking for me. Does anyone here know?

My A School is a permanent PCS it is over a year long.

Are you attending your A School? Is your A School Orders permanent change of station or are they TDY in route? How long is your school? Either way, this you guide you to what you need to submit.

I suspect that you are TDY to your A School, in which case you need to submit a Delayed Dependent Travel Request. That will allow you to pull BAH for your home location until you hit your permanent duty station and move your family.

If the Navy is like the Army you should get BAH since you are married. Our AIT Soldiers who are married would get BAH for where there family is even when they are in school living in the barracks. I would make sure for my married Soldiers that their orders said married and the location where their family would be located so they would get that city BAH. With yours being so long like others have said you should be able to bring your family and make it an official PCS where the military will pay for your family to move with you while you train. If you are not receiving it for any location you will need to get with your finance and fix that .
