Just to stir the pot more...
While I used to get pissed about the w/-w/o BAH difference (when I was single). You can't really ask that question without also asking about ACIP, ACCP, reenlistment bonuses for different rates, etc. Someone in the DOD thinks (or thought) it's worth paying married folks a little more, or that they could get away with paying singles less. Stop whining and get married on paper, so you can enjoy all the other unfair goodies. Hell, find another servicemember and get the collocation benefits!
