Thank you folks for answering my previous questions!! So I was wondering, when you're at OBLC, will you be considered active duty?? Will you get paid while at OBLC. 9 weeks seems to be a while to go without income...

Yes, once you report to OBLC you are a 2LT and have all ready taken your oath of office. So your pay will start the day you report.

But one thing they don't tell you is that you get paid per diem and that does NOT include housing pay. I asked because I was wondering how I will pay my house payment for my family while I will be gone.

I am currently in OBLC and yes you will get paid BAH and BAS if you qualify. The only problem is that it will take approx before you see a check. OBLC cadre are great they know that the time is very demanding and if you have any financial problems during OBLC they will help you out. I still have 5 weeks left and you must be physically and mentally prepare for OBLC. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me. I will be posting pictures in my photobucket and our experiences..
