Geographic Bachelor in Pcola
I guess I'll put this question here because I don't want to start a new thread, I know this is putting the cart before the horse because I haven't gotten my final select yet but I'm trying to research as much as possible now to be prepared for later.
When (if
) I report to Pcola for IFS and API, my then wife will be staying at our house in Houston to finish college and I will be staying in the BOQ as a geo bachelor. Since Houston is not on the critical housing list and Pcola is I'm assuming it is possible to do this and get BAH for her.
However, I went to the base BOQ website and they said that due to limited space at Pcola, all geo bachelors will be billeted at the BOQ at Whiting. Is this still the case and does that mean I'll be living at Whiting and commuting to Pcola everyday? If so, how long is the commute really? The website says it is about 35 minutes. I hope this isn't true b/c I was looking forward to living on base for flight school and saving money on gas. Thanks.
