Single S.A.M.S. is a Non-Profit Organization designed to advance and advocate for
the rights of single service members in all branches of the United States Military

Greetings Single S.A.M.S.,

The decision to serve your country is a noble decision. It comes with known hardships and sacrifices that are endured by every service member that dons the uniform.

There are also hardships that are specific and unique to single service members. While the Department of Defense has done a great deal to advance the interest of married military personnel with the regard to housing, separation pay, and redeployment readjustment classes, attention to the needs of single S.A.M.S. has fallen by the wayside.


Average BAH and food credit not offered to Single S.A.M.S. is worth in excess of $200,000.00 over the course of a 20 year career.



Additional pay for married personnel during a deployment encourages hasty decisions to get married before deployment and unnecessary marital hardships.


Parental access to information about wounded Single S.A.M.S. is often restricted and incomplete. Parents should have the same access as spouses in these extreme times of need.


Redeployment classes often focus wholly on readjustment to married life. Single S.A.M.S. are often forced to endure these inappropriate classes, and the issues they face after combat duty are ignored.
