Hello everyone,
I just recently got out of the Marine Corps and I'm reenlisting in the Army. I have dependents, and the Army is not authorizing them to come with me for AIT. My question is, since I have to go to AIT, is my BAH based off of where I go for AIT? Or is my rate based off of where I have to leave my family behind at? The reason I'm asking is where I live the cost of living is much higher than where I'm going for AIT.

BAH will be rated off of where your family lives. You will be living in AIT barracks, probably the prior service/reclass ones and you may have permanent part rules instead of Initial Entry Training rules.
I’m on recruiting duty where the BAH is high. Whenever someone with a family goes to BCT always get BAH for the location of the family.

Well, that definitely takes some of the stress off of my shoulders. I do have a follow up question to that though it is unrelated to BAH. When I go to AIT, what should I pack my cities and other personal items? In a seabag? Suitcase? Or shove it into a backpack/ duffel bag?

Definitely bring civilians. It really depends on your AIT. Try and get in contact with the cadre and ask what you’re allowed to have.
