Every Military member has access to housing (barracks), food (chow-hall), clothing allowance and healthcare. They can chose to opt out of public housing and use BAH in combination with their own money to “live out in town”, and food and healthcare will always be there as needed.

If a military member wants extra cash for something they get a non-military job, but they still get their BAH and benefits.

If they get injured or sick, they go to a basic aid station. If it’s more than the basics, such as having a child, they go to the hospital.

If they want to go out for a fancy meal, they pay for it, but there’s always the option of eating at a chow-hall or shopping at a commissary.

They get a clothing allowance, albeit small, but if they want more than that allowance covers, they cover that at their own expense.
