Admin question pay related

[Marinefelon]

I just got called by a Prior Service Recruiter to take orders to Stuttgart Germany for 12 months.

I am a non-ob reservist (in my IRR time but just drilling anyways) and want to know what they pay would be like.

I know base pay for a Sergeant over 6 is around $2800 but I am curious as to how the BAH and other entitlements work. I was told I would receive BAH, Per Diem, and possibly COLA. My BAH code right now is Tampa, FL but not sure if I would keep that BAH or rate the overseas BAH and be in a barracks. Or if I am in fact in a barracks do I still rate BAH from there since I will be stationed there.

I rate BAH because I am a single parent. But will be go over unaccompanied.

Can someone give me a rough breakdown of what I would probably be making. I know all the calculators on google but like I said I am confused about how the per diem and BAH would work.

[devilbones2]

You would make like $3425/mo in BAH if you dont live in the Barracks and cola is like $315/month.

[Marinefelon]

So if I did live in the barracks? I STILL rate BAH because of my child right. Like Geo Bachelor

Sgt. I found this re. Stuttgart. I think I can help you out a little more if you could explain the BAH situation re. your child in Tampa.

Sir I have seen this calculator... I have a child which entitles me to BAH.... I was just curious from an admin point of view if I would rate the tampa BAH because child is there... or the Germany BAH (if I lived in town there obviously that BAH) but if I was in the barracks....

Sgt. I'm in over my head with this ....lol. Hopefully someone can drop by and lend you a hand. But good luck to you!!!!

My stepmom had a similar situation..... And this is what she told me....

Since I am reserve it is TAD or a MOB order NOT a PCS move... It is for 1 year
She said I should rate base pay, FULL Per Diem, and my HOME BAH

Admin bubbas.... confirm?

[weapons124]

you rate the BAH rate for your home of record

[Marinefelon]

Thanks Weapons...... now does that per diem sound right?

Because it is $394 a day... thats like $11 k a month... Sounds like ALOT!

[weapons124]

Your per diem should be around 350 a month bro. For example I check in may 24 to camp Johnson and I get full pay, bah, bas(per diem) and family sep.

Per diem for each day should cover hotel costs and food I have been TAD before when I was at Kirtland AFB in New Mexico and got like $150 a day there

[weapons124]

Yeah but that was using your govt card though correct? I think mine is 350 a month cuz I'm in the barracks? You got me on that one. You should be getting tier 2 family sep though

Not to confuse you, but are you being stationed in Germany or being sent TAD there (With your original duty station 4th AAV? thats what I'm assuming)

If you are being no bull**** PCSing to Germany, you will be given OHA for Germany.

If you are going TAD with your home unit still in Tampa, you will get Tampa's BAH.

Edit: It sounds like you are going TAD, so what weapons is saying is correct.

[Marinefelon]

No Govt CC. Maybe they will put me in the barracks... that would suck... if thats the case I would rather have Germany BAH

[Marinefelon]

And yes TAD / MOB orders to Stuttgart for 12 months
