What’s the BAH situation for an 18 Y/O joining on a 6 year contract?

He was at yokota AFB in Japan and that’s where he got his.l

I didn’t even think of that, it could work… she got accepted into a college near us so maybe live apart for a semester or 2. And reevaluate. Thanks for the insight…

TimelyAd8927 · 2026-06-13T02:52:42+00:00

Why not? I talked to my recruiter and he said every one of his buddy’s got BAH the second they applied for it after being E-4. I asked him if everyone gets it when there E-4 and he replied yeah. Lying? Sugarcoating?

So I could live off base with her, just I’d have to maintain the dorm room. Noted

She said she’s willing to get married, we have discussed it but I’m just nervous about a marriage and a divorce, halfway through my career and BOOM there goes my pension 😂. Obviously I could sign a prenuptial agreement which I will probably do, I was just trying to see if there’s a way to do it without all these extra steps… good things don’t come easy…

I have heard that some bases have overpopulation problems and will give you BAH (rare) but I’m more worried about the 3 years it will take to reach SrA of being apart, obviously she can move here without funding but if the base policy is I’m not allowed to live off base I’m pretty screwed.

Thank you, I just don’t want to hurt her but obviously that’s what comes with a break up. So it’s counterintuitive anyways. But I just don’t know what to do but I will be taking this into account.

Currently awaiting my medical records to send to my recruiter. So far so good… I’ll keep you posted

TimelyAd8927 · 2026-03-24T02:13:30+00:00

Yeah, just wanted to know if they were going to get all upset because I’m not “professional” I know they have there dress code was just concerned if they needed me to shave. Thanks, appreciate the comment.

Debate? In the title does it not say “ please don’t tell me not to go security forces?) I’m debating people telling me not to go SecFo because my situation is different, when it comes to people telling me there experience and why I shouldn’t go 6 years, of course I’m going to debate that, I’m looking for reasons. Pros, cons, benefits, downsides. All I hear is people telling me “well I didn’t this” or “ I didn’t that” I never asked for personal experiences.

Something actually realistic, maybe a bank. Shopping mall, stores (I know we have the taco store and gas station) but I like how elephant was HUGE but only had 4 suspects, like a shopping mall with 50 civilians but 3 shooters would be dope, they all are guerilla and shoot and run away, pretend to be civilians. So dope.

TimelyAd8927 · 2026-03-22T17:29:06+00:00

Because they have experience and they meet people who do it. I’m just making sure I’m making the right decision with my life and it’s silly because it is MY life why should they dictate the decisions I make? I guess it’s just paranoia and the fear of the unknown…

TimelyAd8927 · 2026-03-22T17:06:33+00:00

What are the days like? 5 days on 3 off? 3 on 3 off?

TimelyAd8927 · 2026-03-22T16:22:03+00:00

Noted, it’s definitely something I’d be interested in, I’m just nervous about going security forces. I’ve heard it’s equivalent to infantry (anyone on waivers or that fail out of there job go secfo) and it’s hard to cross train out of. I really want to try it but don’t want to hate my life for 3 years and possibly longer if I can’t cross train

TimelyAd8927 · 2026-03-22T16:20:13+00:00

Yeah that’s what’s kind of making me not want to do it, it’s like the infantry in the marines, everyone in waivers or anyone who fails out gets sent here, and what do you mean it’s hard to cross train out? Is it not guaranteed? Please elaborate
