Rob1237051 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Yes, Picerne does housing based on your projected rank if you're a flight student. There is no wait list or anything. Don't let them put you in Allen Heights as it's a hellhole. Bowden and Munson are actually pretty nice with a lot of new construction.

Rob1237051 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I live in Dothan, personally. Enterprise is nice enough. If you're single I'd do that as they will take all your bah on post. You'd be better off finding a low rent town house. If you have kids the Enterprise schools are pretty good. So this holds true for 2LT?

movingtarget21 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I am currently living in Allen Heights. I don't think this neighborhood is hellhole. It may be a specific part of the neighborhood that may be a problem, but I have not noticed anything bad about where I'm living in Allen Heights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UH60L-IP Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 From what I know, woft candidates are pcs'd from the onset. You might want to double check on that. It totally depends on whether you are coming from enlisted to woft, civilian to woft, other branch to woft, etc. Some will PCS before WOCS. Some will PCS after WOCS.

t.o.n.y Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I take my dog on post for walks and biking on the trails. Dothan is nicer and has more to offer, but is a longer drive when you're already limited on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1237051 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Westgate park in Dothan is the best within 50 miles. It has a 3.3 walking trail and a separate biking trail around the perimeter. It also has a .5 trail in the park if you want to do laps. Enterprise park has a pretty good running trail, however. If it's just you and a dog for flight school I would recommend enterprise. It'll be easier to find classmates to watch your dog lol. Edit: tral? Where were you on that autocorrect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharyouTree Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Also know of a flight student hit by a car last year who was almost kicked out of flight school due to injuries. Be carefulWas that a girl?I heard her telling someone her tale in the library while I was writing my big paper for the WOAC. I think I've already said this, and if I haven't, it's probably been said by someone else:Try living off base, but close to it. It's good to get away from the place after class and on the weekends, but you don't want to add time to your already busy day with commuting. Off Rucker Blvd is a really good location. You'll be close by all of your friends (ahem...study partners... hint hint), and close enough that it only takes about 10 minutes to get to the parking lot in the morning. 3:30 comes quickly. Plus, it's nice to be able to pop home for lunch if you're in academics. That's my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraphiteBlur Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 What about if you're married, but your family stays back home and doesn't move to Rucker. Can you still get BAH for your home record, if you stay on base? Or would you be up the creek with regards to paying for housing back home, since Rucker is a PCS? I'm thinking along the lines of an unaccompanied remote (i.e. Korea). Anyone know anything about that option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraphiteBlur Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 http://usmilitary.about.com/od/housingallowance/l/blbahrules.htm See Rule 29 on the chart of that link. Thoughts? I hope that WOFT qualifies, as it is expensive to live in Northern VA, and that's where my family is staying while I'm at Rucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.o.n.y Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 They won't give you a house and BAH. But do know one guy who has been living in the barracks for free this whole time and collecting BAH due to circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraphiteBlur Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Yeah, that's what I was thinking... Living in the barracks, but getting BAH for the family. What are the barracks like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gzilla82 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Graphite, you would get BAH for Rucker since you are stationed there and not TDY en route/return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVIATORWANNABE Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 If your married. You WILL recieve BAH at w/ dependent rate. Always! Unless your dual military without kids on separate posts.. And then it depends on your rank. If your a SINGLE commissioned officer or E6 and above you will recieve BAH at w/o dependent rate. As long as the Army is not giving you a place to stay. If your coming to WOCS single.. The Army is taking care of your housing so they will not pay you BAH. once you leave WOCS you will recieve BAH to house yourself. If your coming to WOCS married.. You will continue to draw BAH in order to house your dependent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVIATORWANNABE Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 HELLFIRE I'm on my phone and can't quote sorry. Yes your AR15 is okay but you would have to have it registered on-post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
