[TJones86]

Hello i ship out to FT Jackson on the 11th of july. I was wondering about my BAH, my fiance is the co applicant on my lease and im the main applicant. I was wondering will they decline me my BAH because she is on it, and i was told to bring my lease and utility bill to MEPS the day i ship out, will they BAH money be kicked out on the first of august since thats when my next rent is due.

That shouldn't be a problem. No, the money will be split in two and you will be paid on the 15 and the last day of every month. Or something like that.

Congradulations on your entry into the Army National Guard!

Your lease agreement is fine. Unless you have a dependent child, you will be paid BAH at the single rate for your entry rank for your home of record zip code. Like the Chaplain said, it will automatically be part of your bi-monthly pay.

Take a look at http://militarypay.defense.gov/pay/calc/index.html for specific amounts.

Good luck!
