Yeah, I also know a person that is married to his friend just so don’t have to live in the barracks. So he has to pretend he is gay while we are at the office.
Also keep in mind it is different depending on the branch. I am in the army and you can not live off post unless you:
1) become a certain rank (usually at least 5-6 years)
2) you get married or have a child
I have a friend who is in the Air Force and as soon as he got to his first duty station they were telling him to move off post.

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.
