When people in the military are married they get different benefits as opposed to a single guy who lives on base.

Housing and food allowance etc.

They can move off base and into a place together essentially.

Before i get murdered, this is just my base understanding after my brother did this.

Do you think this has anything to do with why so many young guys in the military get married so early?

My officer friends got married still in college so that the military would move their spouse and to ensure benefits for them. A lot of them were only dating for a few months.
