@antoniosandoval96284 жыл бұрын
Hi Ben quick question hopefully you can help me out. I re-enlisted as 68W and going to AIT soon... do I get BAH for my family who is still back at home while I’m at AIT? Also, if I plan on finding a place for my family and myself at my first duty station is there temporary housing for my family and myself until we find something ?

Well, for me. I went to Germany and when I got there they said they didn't have any orders and didn't know who I was. So, they decided to input my information and toss me in a Maintenance Unit ( I was Recon) who then said, "What the F&ck?" and said, "stick him in supply" where upon getting down there I found another Recon fresh soldier who had the very same thing happen to him. Literally, I was told I could have gone back home and nobody would have realized anything until maybe it was time for me to ETS out of the service. After around a year, the Battalion Commander heard of my story (because I was being sent to do the overnight duty shit nearly every single day) and was like, "WTF?" Then about a month in a half later some Platoon Sergeant shows up and says, "Well, we found you," and took me to where I should have gone in the first place. That was what happened after Army AIT for me.

If there’s anything that will restrict that, then it’ll happen.

Because If I want to start with like simple jobs well that's how I call it. I need a home too. And I need to know how much money I need to carry with myself there.
