I figured there would be something for the last line. Just didnt know about the first two. Is all of that taxed?

JT, yes you will get the housing and subsistence allowance while living in your own house depending on the cost of living in your stateside duty station . However, you'll lose the housing allowance if you live in a military housing facility but still keep the subsistence allowance.

Military allowances are not taxable, only the base pay.

Overseas is different.
