Looking for the 2012 Rates? They’re here.
I’ve got proof! The 2011 Basic Allowance for Subsistence Rates are:
- Enlisted Personnel, $325.04
- Officers, $223.84
To see it on a piece of paper with letterhead, see the Official Memorandum. Thank you to a commenter on my previous post who directed me to this link.
I certainly feel like food costs have gone up, but it seems that the numbers don’t agree with my assessment. I’m going to do a separate piece on the history of BAS and how it is calculated, and I’ll link here when it is done.
Update 22 December 2010: finished! See Understand How Basic Allowance for Subsistence Works for more information.
Who gets BAS? Everyone? Only certain people?
if you have a meal card you wont get bas if you dont have a meal card and you arent recieving bas contact your finance office.
Great Article. I could not find the 2011 BAS rates anywhere else. I appreciate the work you put in to the follow-up information.
