If you are the dependent of a US soldier does the Army pay your rent while he is in Basic Training?

The Army does not pay anyone's rent. However, provided your spouse entered the proper paperwork, as his dependent, you should receive dependent's pay, a stipend that is paid in addition to his base pay. It won't be much, but something is better than nothing, and as his rank increases, so does the amount received.
If you enlist in to the Army as being Married, then you are entitled to receive Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) for the location of the spouse, which typically covers the rent and some of the utilities for that area. BAH is automatic as long as during the enlistment process a marriage certificate and spouses information as been entered in the enlistment packet. You can do a search for BAH rates by zip code online. For single soldiers, the Army is not going to pay rent nor is that soldier authorized BAH since they will be receiving free housing while serving in the Army.

No, the Army does not typically pay rent for dependents of soldiers during Basic Training. The soldier's Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is based on their duty station location and is intended to cover housing expenses for their dependents. However, during Basic Training, the soldier will usually receive basic pay, which can be used to support their dependents.

Do you get paid while in the future soldiers program?
As a member of the Future Soldier program, United States Army, Signal Support System Specialist, I can tell you truthfully... no, you do not. You don't start receiving pay until you arrive at Basic Combat Training. The Future Soldier program was started by the Sergeant Major of the Army as an attempt to help recruits gain rank before ever shipping to basic. Kind of a heads-up class, and a chance to gain more money while attending basic. Start at E-1 for $1,475/mo, or take some online classes and work out, possibly make E-2 for $1,565/mo or E-3 for even more!
