Candidate Question:
During OCS and TBS, would my wife be provided housing in Quantico?
A:
Fantastic question! Very important–for OCS you will not be provided any type of housing for her at all. You should get a reduced BAH to help cover your rent but don’t count on it. At TBS you will live in the barracks (Bachelor Officers Quarters) and she can live in a civilian house in the area. You can usually go home at night, but you won’t get a place on base together until your permanent duty station. You will receive the BAH for the area so your rent should pretty much be covered by that.
At TBS, you can get housed on base if it is available. While at TBS, Quantico is considered your duty station.
