I've tried googling it and getting mixed responses. Does anyone know?

If you have dependents, yes. If you do not, it gets more muddled, but you should so long as you have a domicile you maintain at the time of the TDY for training.

You should. For better clarification, double check with your S1.

Yes, you will get it. Like people have said below, much more cut and dry if you have dependents but as long as you can prove that you have a home that you actively own/mortgage/rent while away at BOLC, you will receive your BAH. Your "host" unit when you report to BOLC should have their S-1 or DA Civilian explain everything in more detail during your Finance brief.

Single with no dependents I received partial and reimbursed for hotel on post. My buddy who was married and brought his wife had house on post.

Speak to your unit administrator, that's what they are there fore. You could probably get the 100%. Correct answer because they will know your specific situation ..good luck!

I know that I did in 2013; I had a lease agreement with my name on it. Some people elected to have their spouse stay with them on base, I believe in that case they did not receive BAH.

The requirement to have a lease was done away with a few years ago. So long as you are on orders for 30 days or more and you aren't living in barracks at no cost, you will get it.
