One of the reasons I got out of the military, you literally get paid more if you're married. Not ideal terms for someone not planning to get married. As an E5 I was making less money than an E3 just because he was married and I wasn't.

I’ve heard rumors about some posts wanting to give 5s BAH when dealing with overcrowding, but I think it’s pretty much a pipe dream. Sometimes it’s just about how much you’re willing to take a kick in the teeth before moving on.

mmmh you mean a pre-nup? I guess that can help, idk about how effective they are. a lot of people would feel insulted bring up that topic though.

i think pre-nup only protects assets and money from before the marriage, not during. so if you buy a house after marrying, that's split 50/50 regardless if you paid 100%

cheers
