The town ZIPs are in the same area
Schertz 78154, Cibolo 78108, Universal City 78148, and Converse 78109 also map to TX285. That does not move the allowance off the duty station. A household reporting to Randolph and living in Cibolo uses the Randolph ZIP to read this table. A household reporting to Lackland and living in Universal City uses 78236. The grade and the with-or-without-dependents column still have to match the orders. Town pages repeat three with-dependents grades, E-5, E-6, and O-3, next to local context. The full seven grades, both columns, are the table above.
