I was single when I was in the Navy, they paid for my housing! I lived in lower berthing in a 2x6 ft rack my locker was underneath it 6in deep. I had another locker 6in wide 3ft tall 2ft deep (for hanging my dress uniforms) I was allowed to live there, that was my allowance.

That's why so many young kids get married, to get that housing allowance.
