Military Marriage Questions?

My fiance and I are going to get married next month, but we want to keep her name as her Maiden Name. Is it required to change her last name to mine, to receive the BAH benefits in the Marine Corps?

    She can have any last name she wants as long as you can provide proof of marriage. You fill out the DD Form 1172-2 and then she is enrolled in DEERS and gets an ID Card. You will get you BAH.

    Think its time you started thinking with your "Big Head" instead of the "Little One"...

    Nothing like a Steady Military Pay check...

    Per DOD Stats...

    no she does not have to change her name.

    all you need is the marriage certificate and proof of identity to enroll her onto DEERS.
