Problem with BAH?
Aunti M, Jessica's Mom, Angie, or whoever. Big problem- -need advice. I don't intervine with
my son in law or daughters businees. But this time I will. Son in law has not received any BAH
funds from the Navy going on 2 months. Recruiter in charge said it would start when daughter
left for Boot. Has not happen!! I jknow being in the service myself, things do happen. But husband
should get some response on whats going on. I told him to call Public Affairs no action. At least
that's what Matt says. He is getting discouraged with this to the point of wanting daughter OUT!!!!!!!!
Which I know dosen't happen. Need HELP? By David B

David B - The Navy has alot of support systems out there. If he needs BAH $$$, then have him contact the Navy & Marine Corps relief society. They will loan him the money, and it will be interest free. It's extremely easy. If I was in this same position, I truly wouldn't care or sweat it, just because I know how the relief society works. They are extremely good....
The husband better get use to problems, that's part of the Navy job discription. It's called "Hurry up and wait". If he wants her out for something so simple, just wait when a true problem comes up, like "Hey your going TAD in 3 days, start packing your seabag".... This period is a learning time for the sailor, and the Navy spouse....

IMO the recruiters don't seem to be up on how things work. Seems they are too far removed from bootcamp and the schools to know and don't care to call up here and ask what is going on.
As far as the PAO they can't give out information on anyone person.
It does take time to get the BAH going, BUT...how does he know she hasn't been paid BAH? Has he seen her LES? The pay in bootcamp seems like it is messed up when it really isn't, they don't get paid alot due to the 4 that get taken out of their pay check.
As Craig said he can go to Navy relief. He also needs to write his wife and ask her what is up. There is a chance that she set up another checking account and has some money going into there. I
Regarding wanting the daughter out of the USN, he needs to get his head on straight there is no "just getting out" of the USN. If he makes her decided between him and her, there isn't a decission. She has to choice the USN.

Six to eight weeks to see the BAH, which is three or four pay cycles. There will be a large lump sum paid from day one.
He needs to get the hang of hurry up and wait, or he'll never make it as a Navy spouse. Why isn't HE here asking?

Anti M, He has no computer. And yes-- " Hurry Up And Wait" has been my motto for years.
Where did I learn, Why the U.S. Navy that's Where!! You can tell when somebody has never
been in the Military. If I had my way-- every young person would have to serve at least 2 years.
The Military are the best educaters by far. Teaches Disapline, Respect, Knowledge, Commensense,
Confidence in ones self and so on. Thank all of you for your input on this topic.

I hear ya brother....
I think most young people can learn from it, but not all. I personnally think having the husband waiting for the BAH is a great idea. It makes him realize the game, and gets him use to it. Everyone should experience the waiting game. It teaches you what a "Chill Pill" is all about....
Lastly, I want to thank your daughter for carrying on the Navy tradition! Woo-hoo, another sailor! Now that's something to be proud of!.... Maybe the husband can join too. Dual military, now thats bringing in the money....
