I notice that the ...

His EAS is in a year so we planned on getting married soon so that I could establish a home for us here and wait for him to come when he gets out. As far as how the BAH is supposed to work I'm clueless and I dont want to ask anyone in my command yet since I dont want to start a fuss if this isnt going to happen right away anyway.
