Just married, I am active duty Navy and my wife is in the Army National Guard. Could I claim her as a dependent for BAH? Mil to Mil?

You should be able to as long as she is an "M-Day" Soldier. If she is either Title 10 or Title 32 Active Duty then no, not to my knowledge

My best answer would be to check with personnel or HR to find out for sure.

If you both were Active Duty (Title-10), only one military member would receive BAH w/ dependents and the other would get BAH w/o dependents. She IS your dependent and should be claimed as such through finance and DEERS. You will receive BAH for the locale in which you are stationed. Depending on the circumstances, you may even be entitled to backpay of BAH. But you would have to speak to your human resource and finance departments.
