Those rules changed a few years ago. If they occupy military housing and its privatized as much of it is, they only collect the allowance from one and the other gets it. Its even more beneficial if they have children. They both get BAH (Housing allowance) even if they live in the same apartment or house off base. Those rules changed a few years ago.

I cannot think of another job that offers the pay, benefits, and retirement that the military offers. Of course the drawback recently, at least for the Army, is you may get an assignment to Iraq or other no so desirable places. I hope the pay continues to climb and the military becomes the path to becoming a millionaire. There is little doubt that the current military pays its junior officers extremely well.

However, I do not know if it is worse then an equivalent sized command back in the US but I suspect it is. I don't think the article had an anti-military tone but it definitely inflated how much they were paid and didn't provide much context about what they do to earn what pay they did receive. What I love about the people complaining about the money these two are paid is that anybody in the US can join the military and make the same money if they want to.

I suspected it had a twinge of an anti-military tone to it. To the critics, I would add - don't be upset at the few young people being smart with their money when the majority of young people today are money morons. Nice caveat to the article.
