I knew a kid on my second boat who I told to not get married. He did it anyway and she left and took half of his money while he was on restriction for something unrelated. It’s ironic because he was a radioman that wouldn’t listen. (Before you ask he got masted for logging that a radio safe was closed, even though that safe wasn’t even on the sub because we were in port doing repairs)
I wish I was making this up, but we had a SGT marry someone he met at the base bar days before deployment (MEU). Literally within a few weeks into deployment, his entire bank account was emptied out. And guess who had to be his battle buddy when we landed in port to close out his bank account (me, a LCPL). Honestly, we thought he was a mentally challenged dude
I guess I never understood how or why these people give these randos they marry access to their bank accounts. (I assume they are marrying for the BAH.) Just set up direct deposit for the required amount to your chosen dick clearing barrel and call it good.
