How to verify income with military applicant?

[Kimberly T.]

I have received an application from a prospective tenant who is with the Army, but he did not provide any contact info for me to verify his employment/income. I will request that information, but due to my lack of experience with military applicants, I'm not sure what info I need.  Would it be his superior officer's name and phone number?  If he gives me a name and number to call, how do I know I'm actually talking to a military officer and not some friend who's just acting the part?

Also, do people in the Army get some sort of pay stub that I can request a copy of? Or can their income be verified online with the military somehow?
