You can still claim your apartment/home for BAH, but you&#39;ll receive BAH under the rate at your current duty station and not the one [Hawaii] you&#39;re going too. I had the same question on my previous PCS. Go and talk with housing because you&#39;re not the only one who PCSs without their spouse/family.

We have a SFC in my unit that is receiving BAH at the dependent rate for where his family is mainland and BAH at the single rate here. I&#39;m not sure if it&#39;s because he is a SNCO or not but it&#39;s worth asking about.

Also talk to your chain of command when u arrive and see what they say as well.
