ok has anyone else heard of this? turns out it is against BAH "rules" that more then one marine can live in one house. we have 2 other marines living with us and right now not only are these 2 about to lose rank my husband can too. they are saying since these marines are not on the "lease" then they are not using BAH as they should. but both of them are still "Married" even tho they are separated from there respective wives...in NC you have to be "separated" for a year b/4 you can be "divorced" now both of them do not have a written contract we have a verbal one. they help around the house(mostly killing mice and bugs...and removing lizards) and pay us what they can when they can, they will also pick up food here and then as they can.
now Josh has lived here for a while almost as long as we have but he said when he gets back from this last deployment he was going to find a new place to call his own. well he cant find a thing that well is close enough to base and is safe to sleep at.
as for Steve he works in the same shop as well and when they found out that he was receiving BAH and living in the barracks they kicked him out. Understandable but where should he go until he can find a place? and then we find out that he is apart of my husbands fire team so what we are to kick him out of the house but my husband can still get in trouble for not helping him find a place to live? bull
that and one of the guys deployed with Jordan this last time was waiting for housing on base...he had no home and no place to stay until they got a house for him and his family on base...it took weeks what did they expect of him to sleep in his car until he can get a place on base? what about showering and shaving and a place to do laundry?
soo then a S.Sgt came to the house today i remember him from the guys...they say he could be nice but can make some "idiot" moves when working. well he came to the house in civis but he had a list of what looks like a list of where everyone in the shop lives a few highlighted a few not.(i didnt see if we were highlighted or not) he asked who i was and confirmed that i was Jordan's wife. then asked who else lived here...well figuring he allready knew i told him of Josh and Steve. he asked roughly how long we lived here and the others thankfully i really didnt know. and then he started to ask about cars...i was working on my husbands truck, Josh's car was next to his and then the TA was taken apart in the garage, and a buddies fixer uper was there as well and he wanted to know where Steve's truck was...i didnt even know he had a truck just that it didnt move any more. he didnt come inside(but he was prolly worried about getting Meningitis so thats y he didnt ask:P) but asked to talk to Josh, knowing that my husband was on duty and that Steve was still in the hospital. after he talked to Josh he nicely said good bye. Josh told me that they were talking of busting rank for this...really.
i told my hubby later and he was PISSED guess that no one is allowed to come to our house and ask questions with out at least calling him or me. so i think im ganna have to ask Josh to do all the talking and to tell my husband to keep his mouth shut.
sorry about the long story but it drives me nuts. BAH is to go to housing and the bills that come along with it. well they are paying us money b/c when Josh first moved in we couldnt afford the house(thankfully now we could) really if they say that want to see a contract for Josh and Steve that is fine by me but just say that. i just dont know where to go or who to talk to and just the fact that this is happening is pissing me off!!!! anyway ladies do you have any ideas?
