I'm an E-6 in the NG, was active before, and was selected for an overseas ADOS assignment in Wiesbaden through Tour of Duty.
I will be doing an unaccompanied 1-year PCS. This will be my first time permanently stationed overseas. What should I expect in terms of pay as a married staff sergeant?
I've looked over the ADOS Information Guide for USAREUR and it appears I should still get BAH for my home of record in the United States even though I am PCSing. Is this correct?
I have heard various things regarding COLA. The DoD COLA calculators puts monthly COLA for an E-6 not in the barracks (information guide says E6s go to Army-owned apartments off-post, can anyone confirm?) at roughly $600. Is this correct?
Should I expect family sep pay and BAS?
Any other advice or insight for somebody in my position?
Trying to figure out my finances in Wiesbaden

So you will get BAH based on where your dependants are located. You will be put in barracks and get a lower rate for cola. You will get family sep pay. You will get meal deductions, which takesost of what you have for BAS. (you will always get BAS)
