Additional Pay & Allowances for an O-10
In addition to Basic Pay, a Admiral may be eligible to receive several types of allowances and incentive pay.
Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)
Basic Allowance for Housing is a monthly payment meant to subsidize a servicemember's housing while deployed. The amount of BAH received each month depends on the location in which they live.
Officers with a paygrade above O-7 don't receive standard BAH payments.
Basic Allowance for Subsistance (BAS)
All Coast Guard officers receive a monthly allowance for food and drink of $316.98.
Officers' BAS is lower than the enlisted BAS rate, as officers generally have access to subsidized meals in the Officers' Mess.
