Do you pay back the military for COMRATS?

In: Labor and Employment Law [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. Commuted Rations or COMRATS (otherwise known as BAS or Basic Allowance for Subsistence) is money added to a military members pay so that they are able to buy food when messing is not available. Put more simply, if you eat aboard ship or eat for free in the mess hall, or any other facility where the military provides you with free meals, you will not receive COMRATS. If there is no such food available (i.e. Sailors on shore duty) or within reasonable means (a married member will not be expected to come to the mess hall for a meal when they live in town), then the military will add money to that members pay to cover food. Currently COMRATS is a little under $280 per month.
