Today, my boyfriend of over 2 years said he wants to get married before he leaves for basic training. Not because he loves me, but because he'll get paid more if he's married. This is the only time he's been excited about marriage. FML

Wow. My husband and I just got married today. He's also in the military. And he could care less about the money. I mean yea, it's going to help with bills for our house and stuff but we got married because we love each other. And let me tell you. being apart is the hardest thing ever. so if he's only thinking about the money don't bother in putting yourself through a long distance relationship. seriously.

You get free insurance and school. if he's just using you, use him back. Sign up for a joint bank account though!

Unfortunately this happens way too often. it's true that if you're married in the army you make almost $600 more a month, and then even more if you have kids! But as an army wife, I have seen way too many divorces, abusive relationships and adultery happen due to quickly going into a marriage, especially to girls as young as 16! Think hard, you may make more money now but it's expensive to get divorced too.

Well think of it this way, if he dies (heaven forbid) you can get his benefits.

if he's in Irqa he makes a lot of money. My friends brother went to Iraq for 6 months and came back with almost 100,000 dollars.

Half? Only if you stay married for 10 years or more. Otherwise it is a sliding scale.

not if he is in the military he didn't. private contractors make that kind of money.
