Paid BAH Type II for a 42 day school?

A couple of things has to have happened, do you have a copy of your rental/mortgage in finance system. If not this would be the primary reason. If you are married is all the information in finance? If you are a single soldier with no information in the system you got what your getting. I fought for years with the Guard over this, got the run around from hell. Finally I got a hold of someone who could set it straight. To me BAH type II for a single soldier should be banished from the face of the earth, it is IMHO the grossest form of discrimination I have ever seen in uniform. As it takes a whole class of service members and states your living arrangements mean nothing to us, but married service members get the full authorization. The onus is on you to get the info in the system, don't expect people to know what your talking about, as most people are ignorant on this, but you are allowed to get BAH figured on where you live, when you are on your 2 weeks, or school, or activation. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

How were your orders cut? Two sets for 21 days each?

BAH has nothing to do with your house payment, it is based on your zip code, dependency status, and yes, your orders. IADT (the orders you get for first going to basic) only cover type II BAH and you have to show that you are paying rent or have dependents. I understand this is probably not the case for you. I would agree that you just had a gap in orders. Might still be able to fight it.

SSG(P) Wallen; My experience is with U.S. Coast Guard Regs regarding your situation... I suggest you pay a visit to your Units Pay & Personnel Section's Clerks, It's been my experience that there's usually one or two of those folks that specialize in the ins and outs of Reserve pay & allowances for pay during (ADT) Active Duty for Training or (TAD) Temporary Additional Duty, for Schools & various kinds of Specialty Training, etc.

I was Administrative NCO for my last couple of Units and if you were in the U.S. Coast Guard I'd refer you to the Pay and Personnel Procedure Manual & possibly the Housing Manual, to start with see what you can find regarding, Reserve Pay and allowances for ADT or TAD for Training.

I'm sure the Army has similar manuals, that you're way more familiar with than I or as an E-6, at least you should be!

Did you have a break maybe a day or two between the orders. Also you can apply for FSA family separation allowance seen that you were away for 42 days. reach out to me at [login to see]

This pic might clear up a few things. PII and a little extra redacted (thanks MS Paint).

Depends on the type and duration of orders. Depending on the type of school, they should have used the appropriate funds to cut one order. I suspect that they used AT and then ADT orders (2 sets > 30 days).

You can call and talk to some one at My Pay, have you tried that.

Rut Roah. 1SG (Join to see), thoughts on this one?

I am confused:
