Divide your BAH rate $1170 by 30, and your BAH works out to $39 per day.
The difference between $1170 and $1208 is $38, so it looks like you received back pay for 1 day of BAH, most likely you were assigned to Bragg on the last day of a previous pay period and it was caught up on this LES.
If you read the Remarks section at the bottom of the LES, it will probably say something like that.

Makes perfect sense, didn’t say anything in the remarks but hey you’ll have that. Thank you very much, SGM.

You may be getting a Cost of Living Allowance COLA or a housing stipend.
Your first stop on this question and on all others should be your Team Leader or Section Sergeant
You can always ask on here too, but please let your first Line Supervisor help you. It is his job and his responsibility to teach and train you to be a Section Sergeant or Team Leader yourself.
