Sorry, but no. If you have dependents however you should be able to receive BAH

Did you get HMDA ahead of hand? Meaning guaranteed on your contract? Just wondering.
Would Reserve HM go through the stuff Actives ones would go?

Yes, it's possible.

Reserves would go to the same A-School as active duty members would.

Thanks,
Do you know if you could get any C School for reserve after A School? Any way to be "elegible" or have better chances?

For reserves, they usually have something attached to their contract such as DA, or FMTB. So you won't be needing to pick your orders at A-School.

So is it correct to say that if you do well in A school,they can send you to C school? What are the criteria? Or depending on the need on the navy? How do they determine if you are assigned to Marine combat?

Having a high GPA will allow you to get first dibs on any billets available. So if you have the highest GPA in your class, and there's a C-School that you really want with only 1 or 2 spots open then you'll be one of the two people that gets it.

Getting FMTB is just a matter of whether or not it's available.
