Can I move out of the Barracks without BAH after I'm married or do I need to wait?

Its up to your Commander, if you ever want to get it. You will still have to maintain your bunk/wallocker in the barracks while still having to do unit cleaning, inspections and whatnot aong with any other unit details like mowing the lawn.
You should probably get permission first since you and your wive cannot both draw the BAH. Army Private's aren't noted for having a lot of cash to toss away.

My understanding from years ago is they will start your BAH form your Marriage date (your spouse can't live in the Barricks with you). Confirm this with your admin or S1.

Does your 1SG and Commander know you are now married?

Have you submitted the paperwork to get your BAH started?

Have you submitted a copy of your marriage license to S1 to be iPermed?

If you cannot answer YES to all of the above questions, then you need to wait before you move out. Start with your NCO Chain to get these balls rolling if you have not done so.

1. Did you ask your first line supervisor/section NCO/squad leader/PSG this question before you came on here?
2. If no, why not? If yes, what did they say?
