WTF?

Point of fact, you do get a different housing allowance if you are single or have a dependent. You DON'T get more money for more dependents. One spouse or one spouse and 3 kids or even just 10 kids all would grant the active-duty member the same BAH w/dependent rate. Being married also qualifies the military member for military housing vs. living in the barracks.
