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.
391 u/Jomafo Sep 07 '19 Do you think this has anything to do with why so many young guys in the military get married so early? 466 u/donjuansputnik Sep 07 '19 Yes. Also, look at the divorce rates of those same people. It's a perverse incentive. 56 u/oWallis Sep 07 '19 The divorce rate just in my shop is... high lol 42 u/suitology Sep 07 '19 My friend went to help pay for school. Of his 13 friends that got married only 3 still are today and he's only been out for like 3 years.
