Basic Allowance for Housing
If you receive BAH, service members should report to the Housing Office in Building 5128, Town Center, Pendleton Avenue, and Airmen to McChord Field, 3209 Maple St., as soon as they sign in for duty. If eligible, you can be placed on the waiting list for on-base housing at the housing brief, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., at JBLM Lewis. The date you left your last duty station normally determines your place on the list.
