(This applies only to post-TBS IFS)
Ya, only the post Delta guys got to live at Liversedge, and that is no longer an option. Now everyone gets Quantico 22134 BAH which is about 1080 for single LT's I believe. I got an apartment in Manassas with another guy from my TBS platoon so it's a pretty good deal. A 3 month lease was perfect for us.
Before you graduate from TBS you'll request and get an IFS start date. So once you are done with TBS, you'll check out of the Q, go wherever you move to (nowhere on base) Now, if there's so many of you that everybody can't start IFS all at the same time, they'll split it up as already mentioned, about 3 weeks apart. (You'll already have requested your start date whether you want to start right away or wait a while if you want to take leave or something) If you don't take leave after TBS grad. and have to wait a few weeks befor you start IFS, you will have to report to mainside. (Barber Gym) When I was doing that in January we just had to sign in and PT for a couple hours and then go to the library and study (which got canked pretty quick because, what are we going to study?) Whatever that muster situation is might have changed since then, I don't know.
Once you have started IFS or if your start date was following TBS grad. the way we are doing it is, you go to the airport (Manassas) NOT on base. I've been on base twice in the last 3 months. You go to IFS and that's it. The way we are doing it is you gotta be there from 1000 to 1400 if you don't have a flight.. and if you do have a flight you just show up for the flight and that's it. If that seems kind of weird, I didn't make it up. That can make for some boredom if you only get scheduled a couple times a week and have to sit there for 4 hours.. but big boy rules apply, it's up to you to be there. We've already got warned though that these are the rules and if we mess them up, then everybody will just get shipped back into the barracks and we'll have to muster at 7 every morning (which probably wouldn't be possible anyway) but still. Just remember, Quantico BAH is more than Pensacola BAH
