We are dual military and both receive single rate BAH. If we accept on-post housing will both of our BAH be forfeited or only one?

Not 100% on how it works for officers, but my wife and I are both active. We both receive the "without dependent" rate, but on-post privatized housing charges us at the "with dependent" rate. So they take a couple extra hundred out of her pay and I just reimburse her the difference and throw the few hundred left over into our savings.

And also, if the housing is not privatized, both BAHs just stop if both of you move into on-post housing.

Take a good hard look at the housing on post. Privatized housing has really turned out crappy for a large majority of us and I am very unlikely to ever live on post again. The cost to benefit ratio is generally not there. I realize this is not what you asked but having dealt with privatized housing, a share I felt important.
