If my family goes back home, will we get BAH for where they will be while Im away? Or will we get BAH base on the base I left to go to Korea. How much is the extra money? Do they take all the BAS?

You get the current rate BAH from the duty station you left to goto Korea. Theres hardly any extra money is you're single and a SSG. Being that you're married you should be fine with BAH and BAS. you also get family Separation pay, COLA, and depending on what area you are in you will get hazardous duty pay. I am a SSG℗ that just left Sill divorced and I can tell you this it absolutely sucks. You lose all your BAH and BAS and if you pay child support they give you BAH differential which I find that can hardly make up for the difference of what you'll be paying for in child support if you have more than one child. Also I have a mortgage and losing BAH, BAS and only getting differential isn't going to cut it. It only beneficial to be here if you're married or a senior leader. Other than that if you have prior financial obligations it will definitely put a strain on them if you're single.

SSG Williams, you need to make sure your pcs orders reflect that you can move you dependents to whatever city and state you want to move them, if you don't we will continue posting you your old duty station BAH. When you arrive here we will give you meal deductions that can be stopped if your battalion Conan net approves it. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

If he is command sponsored at previous location/ unaccompanied to Korea, does he not get full BAH and OHA if authorized to live off post? To include partial COLA if previous location is OCONUS.
