An unrelated but helpful item for this topic... Have your husband get an internet phone (something like Magic Jack) before he gets here. This will give him free calls to/from the states for aomething like $40 per year... It makes a huge difference vs. paying 500p for 5min via your cell phone..
Is Gi bill housing allowance in Manila higher than Subic?
Hello everyone.I am a US army veteran and I'm new to this forum. I'm seeking guidance in regards to using my GI BILL/post 911 education benefits as to where would it benefit me more financially. If I rather go to school in Manila or other places. I did a little research in va.gov website and I learned that OSA (overseas allowance )is greater in Manila than anywhere else in the country.
I am not sure if OSA pertains to active duty service members only or also applies to veterans.
I read two conflicting statements. One says I will get $1368 fix rate monthly which is the BAH when you enroll in school in Philippines and the other one is the OSA which I will get over $1100 for housing , over $600 for utilities and over $100 for security in moving in.
What is the difference between OSA and BAH? Which one applies to me as a veteran. Or will I get both....
My main objective is to go to school where the rate is the highest as far as the living allowance.
