I am heading down to API from Newport next weekend and had a couple questions about being a geo bachelor if anyone has done it recently. I talked to the BOQ (Navy Gateway) at NASP and they said they have no rooms available for me and that I had to live out in town. Most of my BAH goes to the mortgage on the house I own in Millington, so my question is do I have to come out of pocket or is there some sort of stipend for geo bachelors with no room availability? I recieved per-diem when I was in Pcola for recruiter school a couple years ago so I assume it is the same for API (I'm pretty sure I read that on a post here one time). Will the per-diem cover the cost to split a reasonable apartment?
