BAH question

I have a BAH question. My wife is in the army and I'm planning on going in to USPHS. How would BAH work? I know if we were both in the army the person with the lower rank would get half of the BAH and the higher ranking person would get the full BAH. Is this how it is with any military branches?

    Housing

    Military couples stationed together can live off-base and receive a housing allowance, or can give up the housing allowance and live free in on-base family housing, just as members married to a civilian can. If there are no other dependents (children), each member is treated as "single" (for housing allowance purposes), and each will receive the single-rate Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) for their rank and assignment location. If there are children, one member receives the with-dependent rate, and the other member receives the single rate. In most cases, the couples choose the senior-ranking member to receive the "with dependent" rate, as it means more money.

    No, only one of you gets the dependent no matter how many dependents you have.

    I honestly thought I'd read they stopped the "double dipping" - or is that online for FY2011?

    Or am I just a tool? :)

    (They probably changed their minds about it!)
