I&#39;ve been in the reserves for two years, and now I&#39;m switching to active duty. I don&#39;t know anything about this process.

But there is the issue of money. When you move into housing, or off post rental, you have to put down money and sometimes a deposit and that is the end of your BAH for your family. It&#39;s a tight money situation.<br />But, yes you can report with your family and stay in lodging until you find housing SFC Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 03 Mar 2019 21:43:10 -0500 2019-03-03T21:43:10-05:00 2019-03-03T21:00:29-05:00
