I’m AD and plan on marrying a reservist. Do we both get BAH? Which one of us will have to move? Do we both get BAS?

The reservist will get reservist benefits. You will get AD benefits. This is not a “mil to mil” scenario.
The AD member will move. If the reservist can get their unit to allow them to be XYZ distance from their unit location then they just gotta pay to get to drill, otherwise they gotta find a new unit when the AD member PCSes. Basically, it doesn’t matter to the AD component that you’re married to a reservist, and vice versa.
You’ll get BAH and BAH w/o deductions. If you don’t have any other dependents if your spouse is on active orders, you’ll get whatever entitlements a single person would rate at your pay grade.
