[quote=Anonymous]OP - will you be on client site or at one of the BAH offices? I did both and found that it was far less flexible at the BAH office (lots of overachievers, judgment passed on when you come and go). That said, you could be on a really cool project team with a very flexible work arrangement.  Client site could be even more (or less) demanding depending on the job.  
Will you be doing primarily classified work or can you work from home?  Look out for "business development" work - BAH has its people do a fair amount of proposal work, meaning you can get stuck working your "day job" and then going to the war room to write proposals for another 12 hours.
That said, I enjoyed my time at BAH and learned an incredible amount. I also know people who do a good amount of telecommuting. My beef with the firm was that they tout "work/life balance" as their strength but I didn't really see that. Seemed like a bait and switch to me.
I'd just ask about the typical hours/demands/work schedule/options for telecommuting.  Be up front about your obligations.  If they're serious about the w/l balance they won't hold those questions against you. If they balk, you don't want to be there anyway.
