Due to my OSUT being more than 20 weeks, as NG, should I be receiving full BAH for the duration of my training?

I ship out in July for OSUT at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. I am an E-2 in the Alabama National Guard with a lease in my name that renews after I begin training and continues beyond my return date.
I am single with no dependents.
Due to my OSUT being >20 weeks, should I be receiving full BAH for the duration of my training?
My RSP NCOIC told me that my BAH allowance will depend on my duty station, and I will receive info on that once I arrive. How can I ensure that I am receiving the BAH allowance required?
Thank you in advance.

Former S-1 speaking. Normal rules are that a single soldier will not get BAH if the government provides quarters. Yes, the amount of BAH you would receive is based on where you are assigned, so the BAH would be based on the location of your Guard unit and not Ft Leonard Wood. I can't find any exception for Reserve/National Guard that are single with an apartment lease. I would assume that the answer is no, but take a copy of your lease if you still wish to keep the apartment if you aren't reimbursed and see if Finance will give you a waiver for the period.
6 months is a long time to pay for an apartment you aren't going to see for that period.

Normally single folks do not get BAH, particularity very junior enlisted. Guard could be different. You need to check with your recruiter or if you are assigned a unit, then their S1.

Honestly brother if I was you, I'd just be in grind mode. Let the place go and stack bread on campus unless its just a thing you have to have it. You're going to have to move for BOLC anyway
