I am dual military as well. The higher ranking service member gets full BAH and the lower ranking service member gets partial.

How long ago did y’all get married while in the army? I have everyone telling me that only the highest ranking gets bah and the junior ranking don’t get it at all unless both are stationed apart. I also have people saying that the only way both get bah is if both were married and in the army prior to the change.
