It's not terrible, but the housing allowance is because they force you to move wherever they want. And that salary is within the normal range:

You are looking at the "pros" without really seeing the "cons".

He doesn't work on aircraft. He works on other vehicles needed on base. Much of his income isn't taxable, so he effectively brings home more than average. Not to mention Healthcare is paid for, even if it's not that great.

The "having to live wherever they want" part is a non issue for some people anyway. Though I agree I would see that as a significant con.
