yes you can live off base . all you have to do (if your in the navy) is route a chit through your LPO and it will go through your chain of command. they will issue you about 1700 dollars plus an extra 500 for utilities. i have a friend that lives in dededo that makes money cuz his house only costs 1300 and turns off his ac when hes not there. hes making an extra 500 a month
No the military has government quarters you can either live in the Barracks (dorms) or you can live off base in which case you would get a housing allowance which varies depending on the location that you live. but you can google military BAH and enter rank and zip code and it will tell you how much you would make to live off base... hope this helps
In a sense it is. A military member will get a pre-determined amount of BAH for the zone they live in added to their monthly pay, BAH is used to cover the cost of housing and utilities off base if one chooses to live off base. If the Military member chooses to live in base housing the BAH will no longer be available to that person. My BAH is $1725 a month, I live in an apt that cost $890 a month and then utilities cost about $200 a month. I am spending only $1090 of my allowed BAH. The rest goes into my bank account. If I were to move on base, Housing would take the whole $1725, but I would not have to pay for rent or utilities.
Active Green Berets, like other members of the military, are not required to live on base, though many choose to do so. Living on base can provide convenience and access to military facilities and resources. However, they also have the option to live off-base, especially if they have families or prefer a different living arrangement. Ultimately, the choice depends on personal circumstances and preferences.
Yes, a person can live with their boyfriend off base and sometimes even on base. The Navy can not tell a person who they can or can not date or live with.
Yes. Such establishments are typically called Military Surplus stores.
While serving you can request to live off base and receive a "housing allowance", which is an amount determined by the average monthly cost of housing in your zip code. You could even request a loan to pay for a house off base. If you are married you can also live off base, no request required.
The same thing that would happen if you shop lift off base.
Yes. If you get one you will catch hell for it.
185,000 est. as of July 2010. The military is getting booted off Okinawa Japan and this is supposed to bring like 40,000 more people starting 2012.
Generally no, unless there are no suitable off-base housing facilities.
100% yes if born in an overseas US military hospital. If born in an off base establishment, the local base/fort/camp will have paperwork for the child's US Citizenship. In some countries, for example the UK, when the child is born off base they can be granted dual citizenship, as my son was.
Check the military pay charts. They don't get paid a lot but housing and food is usually provided. All money they make is disposable income unless they live off base, etc
