Just got my final select for NFO this week and found out my date for OCS. Anyone else headed to OCS at this time?
Thisguy said:I could be wrong, but I don't think the Navy pays for storage. If you're married, your dependants can stay where they are and draw that area's BAH. Otherwise, the single guy in the Navy tends to get the shaft for things like this.
j_m74 said:Actually, There is a predetermined amount per month a dependent/spouse can receive while their sponsor (you) are at OCS. The Family Seperation Allowance (FSA) is $250 per month, as long as your dependent/spouse does not reside in the Pensacola area. I think there's a blurb about it on the OCS - Pensacola official website or at the DOD Pay official website. On another note, I was told by the recruiter that once in OCS, you will draw pay as an E-5 until you are commissioned (roughly 13 weeks), at which time you will begin to draw as an O-1. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, as I haven't verified it yet..
