BAH while on leave???

[Alisium]

No, that looks about right.

[Phantom Blooper]

Don't spend that $400.00 until you get to your next command or get an updated LES (Or whatever they call it now) no pay can be a biatch.


If your not sure put it in the bank and draw the petty interest.

[Achped]

I never got BAH W/O dependents when I went on leave, and I've been on leave like 14 times (seriously lol)

[BR34]

They didn't take a meal card away because there wasn't one to take, I haven't received one at my new command yet.

You shouldn't be getting BAH w/o for going on leave. Someone, somewhere is ****ing something up.

[BR34]

so you think it's his clothing allowance?

you don't get it until your second year in... then it's only half of the 500 odd then your third year is only half then when/if you re enlist your 4th is full ammount.

they assume your uniforms are jacked up your first year (haha yeah I know...) and then only partially so your next two years.

Half is paid the first year because most Marines would have only spent appx 6 months in the fleet their entire first year of service and before then uniforms are replaced for free, if they're serviceable.

CRA is 31.80 a month, and 382.00 a year. And Marines rate it on the very next payday after their PEBD, of every single year they're in.

It'll be interesting to see what your admin section says. Like the others said, I would bank it to offeset a NPD until you find out for sure.

But, I always got BAH for leave.

[Achped]

Bull****, then the Marine Corps owes me some $$$!

I wouldn't be surprised if they took away when I ask just to save the marine corps money, even if I am supposed to get it haha

[Pete0331]

You need to talk to someone about this.
Go through the chain, and make sure you have a copy of your LES from Mypay in your hand when you do.

[ELTOROLOCO]

"If there was an overpayment the DoD will get their money back one way or another."

Yeah, I wouldn't quite hit the casino or Gamestop with the extra money. The phrase "no pay dues" can make any Marine shake.

the part that matters....

2. Types of CRA. CRA is payable in two types, basic and
standard, based on the enlisted persons time on active duty.
Entitlements to the following CRAs are reported into the Marine
Corps Total Force System via unit diary entry for payment, per
reference (g):

a. Basic CRA (BCRA). BCRA is intended for enlisted Marines
(both Regular and Reserve on extended active duty) in their first
3 years of active duty and computes to approximately 70 percent
of Standard CRA (SCRA). BCRA accrues beginning with the first
day of the month following the completion of 6 months continuous active duty without regard to time lost, from the date of last
authorization to the Initial Issue. BCRA will continue to accrue
during the remainder of the first 3 years of continuous active
duty.

b. Standard CRA (SCRA). SCRA is intended for enlisted
Marines (both Regular and Reserve on extended active duty)
serving beyond 3 years of active duty. SCRA will accrue to
enlisted Marines beginning with the first day of the month
following the completion of 36 months of active duty without
regard to time lost, from the date of last authorization of the
Initial Issue. This allowance will continue during the remainder
of the period of continuous active duty.


this implies that junior Marines are not in need of the full clothing repair allowance because their uniforms are in a relatively new state.

so I will admit I was extremely vague on the differences of basic and standard CRA pay-outs. For that I appoligize, but I hope this helps to clarify what I intended to say.
