I will<br />Be going to BOLC-B in AUG of this year, and just married this last weekend, and she will be entered into DEERS in approximately two weeks. <br /><br />How will BAH work since I will be TDY to Ft Lee? Will we receive it for our PCS location (Ft. Bliss) or our current location (Charleston)? Will that start the day that I enter active duty (02AUG)?<br /><br />Thanks In advance!

Jackson had to submit their application for BAH when they reported for in-processing.<br /><br />You&#39;ll need your DD Form 1172 (Application for Uniformed Services Family Member ID Card from DEERS) showing your spouse is enrolled in your DEERS record.<br /><br />You&#39;ll also need to complete a DA Form 5960 (Authorization to start/stop/change BAH). <br /><br />Since BOLC is TDY, you should get BAH based on your HOR Zip. Once you PCS to Ft. Bliss, it will change to that zip, which is your duty location.<br /><br /><br />**EDIT** Appears as though AD Soldiers do not receive BAH unless you PCS to Ft. Lee.
