Did you guys get married while you were in different duty stations? My finance people told me my husband and I couldn’t get any bah/bas because we got married while we were at different duty stations. And until we are at the same duty station, we won’t be entitled to any of it and have to live in the barracks. But if you guys already had a house hold, I’m pretty sure it would be different

A member assigned to permanent duty within the 50 United States, who is not furnished Gov't housing, is eligible for BAH, and chances are both of you are furnished a barracks living situation which would mean no BAH until you are co-located.
