I did a search with no clear answer for my specific situation or anything recent.
I check into API 6 July and I have follow-on orders written to Whiting.
My house has not sold so my wife and child will be staying at my current duty station. This presents quite a financial hardship if I have to fork out rent even with some roomies. My BAH would drop slightly also (Charleston SC - Pcola).
I know I am not eligible to collect per diem because I have follow-on orders to the same geographic location.
I called the BOQ in Pensacola and they said "don't do" Geo-Bachelors...
I called the BOQ in Whiting and they said I had to have permission from the base CMC. Does this seem right?
Should I talk to the Flight Management officer/My Detailer to get an order modification to drop the follow-on orders so I can collect Per Diem?
I'm sure someone was in this situation...Please Advise
