Are there any alternate living arrangements (to Abrams Hall) during ABOLC for NG 2LT?

Does anyone know if I can get alternate housing for ABOLC as a National Guard 2LT? I'm married and my life would like to come with me to ABOLC. The problem is that we have two dogs, add my wife and myself, and living in Abrams hall seems non-practical.
Are there any other living options that we could consider?

WTF is ABOLC? Military communications stress defining an acronym before it is used. Army Basic Officer Leadership Course (ABOLC). That is the example that should be used.

1LT (Join to see) - Call the school house. I am thinking who is funding your training the National Guard or Active Duty, and if that impacts housing.

BOLC is a TDY length course. You're not authorized to bring your dependents with you on TDY.

1LT (Join to see) I would call the school house and ask if they have any heartburn about it. There is usually a strong organization for the spouses and it a good introduction to Military life.

1LT (Join to see) - Also, you can not go more than 180 days on TDY. If you were to follow on to another school you will most likely go home and then come back for it. The Guard won't let you milk funds to jump around for schools. Plus, there really isn't any follow on school for you. Your state would be the ones setting those of. The Regular Army can't send you to a school.

CPT (Join to see) - Could send him to Scout Leader Course if he is aimed at that slot. In my class (Infantry) a couple of the Guard Officers were slated for Mortar Platoon Leaders course and were not going home first.

Yes there is. If you look into the Joint Travel Regulations, 020303. Lodging, you can get a place for long term lodging but it has to be approved by our authorizing official. So this might be your AO in your unit. I am at MCCC and instead of getting a room on base I am living in a fully furnished 2 bedroom apartment while I am on TDY. TDY is not something that you should being trying to bring your family too technically. But if you were to procure a fully furnished apartment in Columbus the gov would be paying less than a hotel plus it is a much better experience
Also, your welcome letter would have to justify it. If your welcome letter says you have to use Gov lodging then you can't leave off post on the gov's dollar.
