Does it make sense that different ranks pay different prices for the same house?

I have lived on-post at my last two duty stations; Ft. Benning, GA and the illustrious Ft. Polk, LA. While the quality of housing has "varied" , my family has always enjoyed the convenience and community feeling of living on post. That being said, it always struck me as crazy that a SGT living in the same layout house on the same street as a SFC is charged significantly less for the same house.

Matt, no it doesn't. That's why it is sometimes best to just live off post.

Remember it is purely economic. An E-5 makes lest than an E-7. He is going to have more time in grade. Secondly there will be a different in housing allowance. I will say this had I had a family when it came time for me to get out or reenlisted. I would have never got out because of my responsibility. I would like to comment all of you for the sacrifices you make and what you do as service men and women. An E-5 does not make a lot of pay. And if he has a family it really does not go a long way.
