How to Choose a Community on Military Orders

Compare the installation and gate you will use, your total monthly budget, school attendance boundaries and the property's flood and insurance information. The community guides help you build a shortlist. Published area estimates do not replace an address-specific route check, school assignment confirmation or insurance quote.

The Pensacola MHA (FL064) covers NAS Pensacola, Corry Station, Saufley Field and NAS Whiting Field. The Eglin AFB MHA (FL056) covers Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field and Duke Field. Check the official duty ZIP, pay grade and dependency status before using the BAH tables to plan your budget.

Send me your duty station, report date and pay grade and I will narrow the list to three communities and explain the trade-offs in plain language. Call or text (850) 266-5005.
