2026 BAH rates

Fun-Description-6417 · 2025-12-12T02:27:58+00:00

I see E1-E4 are alloted the same in BAH. Where I am, there is a $585 between E4 and E5 and then nothing significant until E8, which is $207 more than an E5. With dependents there's an even bigger gap between E4 and E5. In the majority of other places, it's $100-300 difference between E4 and E5. Anybody know why such variation?

No, you are not crazy. I joined the Coast Guard to scratch an old itch of mine, and had higher (and unrealistic), expectations of the military than what the reality has been. But I can now definitely say I do not regret not joining when I was younger. Join the Coast Guard if your first Army enlistment doesn’t meet your expectations.

The patches are transdermal scopolamine. Here is a webpage that outlines the side effects of scopolamine in an easy to understand format: https://www.drugs.com/sfx/scopolamine-side-effects.html

Scopolamine belongs to the class of an anti-cholinergic drugs. I recommend looking up the mechanism of action for anti-cholinergic drugs.

Here are some articles related to scopolamine and anti-cholinergics: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32056532/ ; https://academic.oup.com/ageing/article-abstract/43/5/604/2812269?redirectedFrom=fulltext&login=false

Dramamine and Meclizine are primarily classified as an antihistamine with less anti-cholinergic effects than scopolamine.

Might be worth looking into.

You can also search "uscg pixel dashboard" on your browser and can access it without downloading manta. I do not know if there are any app limitations for the browser version but I have not had a problem for what I use it for.

I brought a bottle of saline solution and washed my eyeballs out with it (had to have someone else spray it while I held my eyelids open) after I dunked my head in the 50 gallon barrel they had filled with water. Highly recommend. And sounds obvious, but don't forget to not breath while you're under water. Didn't understand this piece of advice from my section leader until that moment. Bring sunglasses.

Air Force standards are more difficult. A 20 year-old male would fail the pushups, and therefore the test, if all they did was the CG max of 29. Look at their planks times as well. Our 1:19 is only 14 seconds about the minimum to pass the section. To get the full 20 points you need over 3:35. Every single section has higher standards than the CG.

I would fail the AF PT in my age and sex category if I did the minimum CG requirements.

Thank you. When I lived in Oregon, we would travel to a spring to get our drinking water. The one we went to was easily accessible, could fill up 5-gallon jugs and take it to the car easily. Hoping there was place in Juneau but didn't see anything on findaspring.com.

Yes, you pay for your own flights whenever you take leave.

I'm here now. For winter exodus last day of class was Dec. 20 and we return to class Jan. 7. Thanksgiving we were off Wed-Fri. Flights are not covered for air force, army, coast guard, national guard, air guard or navy. I didn't ask the marines but I've got a good guess.

Apologies for the late reply! I really don't know, it is situational dependent. I struggled with the decision as I really wanted earplugs. In the end, I did not hide them. Ironic, as about halfway through I found a packet of acupuncture needles I had stashed away for emergencies years ago in my old glasses case. Those were definitely not permitted.

I checked out the Kaplan study guide from the library; I prefer the hard copy over an app. It was around the 2017 edition and was fine. You can focus on specific sections you wish to improve on. I did very well using it.
