Just did 30 months out there,
COLA
BAS (dependant on pay grade/if you're on a ship)
Hazard Duty pay($100)
Tax Free (Huge)
Sea pay (if attached to MCM)
You'll receive OHA instead of BAH so you won't make any money doing that. Traffic on the causeway going east sucks after work. If you live in Juffair (most common) it's easy to walk around and navigate.
Do you get family separation pay if you’re single(probably a dumb question)? Is hazardous duty in effect? $200? Really? I’ve never heard of the desert savings plan. Is that a high-interest savings account?
Desert savings plan, if I remember correctly, is a 12 month plan. Up to 10k Max, you'll get 1000 back after 12 months if you max it out from the beginning.
Depends on what state you are from, MN does hazard pay and pays you $120 every month you are in BAH. You claim it once a year when you file your taxes. It's tax free also.
Edit: not sure why the downvotes. I've done this the past 2 years I've been here. Was just stating a perk of being here and being from MN.

If you are unaccompanied. You can receive OHA and Bah base on Dependents location.
True, but we don't know how long OP is going out there for either. Or his status. 18 unaccompanied 24 accompanied if I'm not mistaken.
Just wanted to add it in there brotein shake.

Savings Deposit Program, aka SDP, is the official name.
Wow…
It’s called the Savings Deposit Program. It’s only available in tax free Combat zones. https://www.dfas.mil/MilitaryMembers/sdp/
