If he is living off his GI bill you will likely want to get a co-sponsor as the GI bill is not considered income.

If he has regular military pay then his BAH can be used towards the AOS.

Im in the millitary havent gotten out yet, but i sure know that the GIB even though it provides housing money (BAH) is only for a few and this is non taxable.

If he gets out of the military and is using his GI bill then he doesnt get the regular military BAH with his pay it would work if he was to be active duty receiving BAH+BAS+Regular pay. Is like you said she would have to get a cosponsor.
