Single people collecting Per Diem and BAH at the same time is wrong and it will eventually catch up to them. This deal with BDCP and OCS guys collecting it sounds wrong too. I'd say that either someone doesn't have their facts straight or these guys were somehow entitled to it and tipped off while others weren't. Once commissioned, we all have the same entitlements, no matter what program we were commissioned under.

Per Diem While In P'Cola

Yeah I agree. I've heard different stories but haven't investigated it fully. Somewhere there is a disconnect, cause the PSD lady I dealt with at checkout in Pcola told me I was entitled to per diem the entire time I was in Pcola, but once I got here the PSD at check in said no such luck. So who knows.
Checked in today and these guys are really pissing me off. There's a blurb in my orders that changes my accounting code from 341 to 342 which voids the per diem line of accounting data. All Q's are full and they're telling me that because of that blurb, I'm also not eligible for per diem. So I have to hope that a room at the Q opens up before my 10 days of TLE is up, or I have to get my orders modified . This sucks so bad.

Good luck with that, but I wouldn't really waste my time. No matter what you find you'll likely get the same story at PSD.
Hey Travis quit your damn whining. Just be happy that you are here and have the opportunity to go to flight school. I didn't get per diem and I will tell you this, just getting to fly the T-34 is better than any penny of perdiem money the Navy could give me.
Maybe at JU you got away with it but that attitude at this stage of the game will get you no where.

It's not about collecting per diem schmuck, it's about finding a place for my ass to sleep while I'm here without having to go too deep into my own pockets. This could also be fixed if I could find someone who will rent me a room for 6 months in exchange for that $1500 dla I collected just in case.
BTW, who are you schmuck?

Oh come on guys:
You don't have to hate us BDCP guys. We don't gain all the experiences of the Academy or ROTC dudes or the prestigue of going to the academy for that matter. OCS is our only indoctrinition to military and I will say that most academy and ROTC guys have a head start (espcecially as SWOs and such).
Will I trade in that $7k so I can say that I'm an academy grad, Sure I will but I can't. Sure GA. Tech wasn't bad but not as great as an Academy degree.
Anyhow, I'm just thankful to the navy that I'm flying jets and can't believe getting paid to do this.

You won't know who I am. I am in advanced @ Whiting. We read your post today and one guy had an idea of who you were from the fleet.
Anyway, have fun in API..... And don't worry it will be warming up soon, so sleeping in a dumpster will be an option, so you can save some of that "free" DLA money.

Hey, all you douche bags settle down for a minute (sorry I had to get that off my chest)Schmuck said:
If I have interpreted these post correctly, TRVS is a geo-batchelor, so he is in a completely different category than the rest of you single or married/accompanied guys. The idea behind him getting more dough is because, as a result of there being no space in the Q, he has to maintain TWO separate households. If that is the case (and please correct me if I'm wrong), then he rates more money, it not whining, and deserves some slack from the rest of you slackers
Keeping it real,

I called the detailer this morning and he cut me an ordmod. The PN's got it 2 hours later and gave it to me during the indoc. So now I'll stay in the transient Q till next Friday and if no permanent Q rooms open up, then I'll get per diem to live at the Navy Lodge.
Go to the DFAS website, click on Money Matters, then military pay, and then scroll down to Per Diem Rates. Hope that helps?
As for Travis, remember the Navy is a job and your are entitled to be compensated accordingly. That be said, make sure your getting all your pay and for all those that disagree: IT"S ALL ABOUT THE PER DIEM!!!!!
