[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, the responses in this thread are pretty insipid. OP, I grew up the child of an O-6 and a DODDS teacher. My father served 29 years in the USAF, mostly internationally, then worked another 10 as a contractor. Combined with my mother’s teaching pension, they did well. The contractor job at the end came with a high salary, housing allowance, golf membership, and company bmw. On that salary, we routinely vacationed, had two BMWs, and they saved for college, paying full freight for me at Stanford, and another sibling at a state school. They also bought me a new 3 series as a graduation present. So, it can be done, especially overseas. They did not buy a house until retirement, though, which also meant no remodeling costs along the way. They now have 3 pensions plus a couple mil in savings + home equity. [/quote] This can be typical with officers, not enlisted. Two different worlds. [/quote]
