If I had a dollar for every enlisted guy I knew who got married to get the extra $1000-2500[a] a month and permission to live off base (unmarried enlisted E-4 and below live in barracks, married enlisted get a housing allowance and live off base, or get private on-base housing in lieu of the housing allowance)... ...and then got divorced a few years later because he got married for the wrong reasons, well, I'd have a few more dollars. [a]Housing allowances vary based on location and rank.
